Mini Aussiedoodle
Mini Aussiedoodles are our smallest, most energetic doodle — 15–25 lbs of playful, highly trainable companionship.
A cross of Miniature Australian Shepherd and Miniature Poodle, the Mini Aussiedoodle is small enough to be portable and apartment-friendly yet sturdy enough for active families. The low-shedding, hypoallergenic-friendly coat comes from the Poodle parent, and the eager-to-please temperament makes this breed our most trainable. See our Mini Aussiedoodles.
Bernedoodle
Bernedoodles are our most easygoing, goofy family dog, available in Mini (25–35 lbs) and Medium (35–55 lbs) sizes.
A cross of Bernese Mountain Dog and Miniature Poodle, the Bernedoodle brings a goofy, affectionate personality and gorgeous tri-color, bi-color, and merle coats. We raise two sizes — a sturdy Mini and a larger, athletic Medium — so families can choose the build that fits their home. See our Bernedoodles.

Australian Mountain Doodles are our calmest doodle — patient, intelligent, and deeply bonded, in Mini (25–35 lbs) and Medium (35–45 lbs) sizes.
