Aussiedoodle (Aussiepoo) (Designer Dog)
Dog
The Aussiedoodle is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Australian Shepherd and the Poodle. Poodles crossbreeds are the offspring of purebred poodles that have been crossbred with another purebred dog breed. They may be described as a mixed breed dog, designer dog or, sometimes, as a hybrid dog. In biological terms, poodle crossbreeds are an intraspecies hybrid, rather than a hybrid between two different species, since all dogs belong to the same species and subspecies: Canis lupus familiaris. While crossbreeding does not guarantee better health, hybrids bred from parents with disparate gene pools may have far lower chances of expressing disorders associated with the parent breeds.
