Introduction Aussiedoodle intelligence comes from two genuinely smart parent breeds, but the popular claim that this makes them a “top 10 smartest dog” isn’t quite accurate. The Poodle really does rank near the top of canine obedience-intelligence research. The Australian Shepherd doesn’t — it’s a different Australian breed, the Australian Cattle Dog, that holds that … Read more

Introduction A Golden Ozzy Doodle is a triple-cross hybrid: one Golden Retriever parent bred with one Aussiedoodle parent (itself a cross of Australian Shepherd and Poodle).
