Why F1 AussieDoodles Make Better Family Dogs
F1 AussieDoodles are the first cross between Australian Shepherd and Moyen Poodle - no mixing with other generations. This gives you hybrid vigor, which means better health and more predictable temperaments than F1B or F2 generations.
Our Australian Shepherds bring intelligence and loyalty without the intense herding drive of working lines. The Moyen Poodles add the perfect size (35-55 pounds grown) and that wonderful Poodle personality. Most of our puppies are moderate energy - active enough for hiking around the Blue Ridge Mountains but calm enough for family movie nights.
Health Testing That Actually Matters
We Are Fine and dandy
We don't just say our dogs are healthy - we prove it. All breeding parents get OFA hip and elbow clearances plus full Embark genetic testing for 200+ conditions. You'll see the results before you ever put down a deposit.
Every puppy comes with a 2-year genetic health guarantee covering everything we test for. We've only had to honor this guarantee twice in 10 years, but it's there because we stand behind our breeding program. Your vet gets a full health record, and we're always available if questions come up later.
