What is an Australian Mountain Doodle? An Australian Mountain Doodle is a hybrid of a Bernedoodle (Bernese Mountain Dog × Poodle) and an Aussiedoodle (Australian Shepherd × Poodle).

They are known for being family-friendly, affectionate, and adaptable dogs with low-shedding coats. What size will my Australian Mountain Doodle be? Expected to mature around 50-65pounds. A standard size doodle-large enough for sturdy play, but small enough to manage comfortably indoors. Do Australian Mountain Doodles shed? Most AMDs are low-shedding due to the Poodle influence. Wavy coats shed the least, while curly coats tend to be most allergy-friendly. Shedding varies slightly by puppy, but this mix is generally well-suited for families who want minimal shedding.
