About Aussiedoodles in Calgary

Aussiedoodles are an Australian Shepherd + Poodle designer cross developed in the 1990s to combine Aussie intelligence and herding-drive with the Poodle's longer lifespan and low-shed coat potential. Adults range from 25 to 75 lbs depending on Poodle parent size (Mini Poodle = Mini Aussiedoodle 25-45 lbs; Standard Poodle = Standard Aussiedoodle 45-75 lbs). Lifespan averages 10 to 13 years. The breed is HIGH energy — both parent breeds are working breeds — making this one of the more demanding doodle crosses.

The Aussiedoodle is consistently described as intelligent, playful, affectionate, family-bonded, and high-energy. They inherit the Aussie herding instinct, which can manifest as nipping ankles of children, chasing bikes, and herding family pets. Calgary households drawn to Aussiedoodles want an active outdoor doodle and must commit to 75-90 minutes of daily structured exercise plus mental enrichment. Without it, the breed becomes destructive — Aussie genes mean a tireless mind that needs work. Generation labels (F1, F1B, multigen) work the same as in other doodles; F1B and multigen produce more reliable low-shed coats.

Calgary Aussiedoodle rescue intake is uncommon but happens. Calgary Humane Society, AARCS, BARCS, Pawsitive Match, ARF Alberta, Cochrane Humane, Heaven Can Wait occasionally take in Aussiedoodles or Aussiedoodle mixes. Common surrender pattern: 1 to 4 year young adults whose owners hit the exercise demand wall, herding-behaviour wall, or grooming workload. Calgary rescue adoption fees commonly run $500 to $900; breeder pricing runs $2,000 to $5,000 with 6 to 18 month waitlists.

A practical note on Calgary fit: the Aussiedoodle is similar to the Goldendoodle and Labradoodle in coat care needs but has more energy than either. Calgary winter is comfortable with a wavy/curly coat; below -15°C a coat helps. Summer is fine. The breed thrives in active households with daily outdoor commitment + structured training (Raising Canine, Pup City Pup Academy). Listings update regularly.

Aussiedoodle Adoption FAQ

How many Aussiedoodles are available for adoption in Calgary?

As of August 2026, there are no Aussiedoodles listed in Calgary rescue on LocalPetFinder right now — Aussiedoodles are among the rarer dogs in local rescue. Inventory turns over quickly, so setting an alert is the most reliable way to catch one, or consider an adoptable Aussiedoodle mix.

Where can I adopt an Aussiedoodle in Calgary?

Calgary Humane Society, AARCS, BARCS, Pawsitive Match, ARF Alberta, Cochrane Humane Society, and Heaven Can Wait all occasionally take in Aussiedoodles or Aussiedoodle mixes, though intake is uncommon. Most pedigree surrenders move through breeder retirement and doodle-specific networks. Most surrendered Calgary Aussiedoodles are 1 to 4 year young adults whose owners hit exercise demand, herding-behaviour, or grooming workload walls.

How much does an Aussiedoodle cost to adopt in Calgary?

Calgary rescue adoption fees run $500 to $900 directional, including spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchip, and basic vet workup. Breeder pricing runs $2,000 to $5,000 with 6 to 18 month waitlists. Annual care includes professional grooming ($60 to $110 per Calgary session every 6 to 8 weeks, $500 to $900 per year), medium-breed food, and standard vet costs. The breed has higher exercise gear costs (long lines, harnesses, GPS collars) than less active doodles.

Are Aussiedoodles hypoallergenic?

F1B and multigenerational Aussiedoodles produce reliably low-shed coats and are widely tolerated by mild-to-moderate dog-allergic adopters. F1 Aussiedoodles are a coat lottery — roughly half show Poodle-style fleece or wool low-shed coats, and half show Aussie-style heavier-shedding double coats. No dog is fully hypoallergenic. Allergic households should spend significant time with the specific adult dog before committing.

What are the main Aussiedoodle health concerns?

Aussiedoodles inherit health risks from both parent breeds. From the Australian Shepherd line: MDR1 mutation (multidrug sensitivity, critical DNA test), Collie eye anomaly (DNA testable), hip dysplasia, epilepsy, hereditary cataracts. From the Poodle line: Addison's disease, sebaceous adenitis, Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA, DNA testable), von Willebrand disease (DNA testable bleeding disorder), hip dysplasia (overlap). Ethical breeders DNA test for MDR1, CEA, PRA, vWD on BOTH parents. Annual vet visits, weight management, and breed-aware screening support the typical 10 to 13 year lifespan. Consult your Calgary vet for individualised guidance — MDR1-positive dogs require specific medication avoidance.

Are these Aussiedoodles for sale in Calgary?

Not for sale, for adoption, which is usually the better deal. Every Aussiedoodle here comes from a Calgary rescue or shelter, not a breeder, pet store, or classified seller. Adoption fees are typically $300 to $700, with puppies at $500 to $900 and already include vaccinations, deworming, microchip and spay or neuter when age-appropriate, versus roughly $2,000 to $5,000 or more to buy an Aussiedoodle from a breeder. If you searched "aussiedoodle for sale calgary" or "aussiedoodle puppies for sale," adopting gets you a healthy, vetted dog for a fraction of the price.

Where can I buy an Aussiedoodle in Calgary, and should I?

You can buy from a registered breeder, but it is worth weighing against adoption first. A reputable Aussiedoodle breeder typically charges $2,000 to $5,000 or more and often has a waitlist, while a rescue Aussiedoodle costs $300 to $700, with puppies at $500 to $900 fully vetted and may be available now. Be cautious of cheap aussiedoodle-for-sale ads on classified sites and marketplaces, which are frequently backyard breeders or puppy-mill resellers with unvetted, sometimes sick animals and no health guarantee. If you do buy, insist on seeing where the puppies were raised and getting vet records. For most families in Calgary, adopting a rescue Aussiedoodle is cheaper, faster, and gives an dog in need a home.

Are there free Aussiedoodles in Calgary, or aussiedoodles under $500?

Adoption is the closest honest answer, and it is not free. A rescue Aussiedoodle in Calgary typically costs $300 to $700, with puppies at $500 to $900, so the lower end lands under the "$500" people search for and the rest does not. What the fee buys is work already done, the vaccinations, deworming, microchip and spay or neuter, which would cost more than the fee itself if you arranged it yourself, and it is still far below breeder prices. Be wary of genuinely free aussiedoodle listings. An animal advertised free to a good home has usually not been vetted, and free rehoming ads are the route flippers and unregistered breeders use to move animals with no health guarantee and no recourse. Paying a rescue fee buys you a dog someone has already examined, treated, and been honest with you about.

Are there Aussiedoodle puppies in Calgary, or only adults?

Both, but adults far outnumber puppies, and it is worth knowing that before you start looking. Most Aussiedoodles arriving in Calgary rescue are adolescents and adults, because that is the age at which first homes tend to give up. Puppies do come through, usually as accidental litters or with a surrendered mother, and they are typically spoken for quickly. Setting an alert beats refreshing the page. It is also worth asking whether you actually want one: an adult arrives with a temperament a foster has already observed and described, where an Aussiedoodle puppy is a prediction, and for this breed in particular knowing what you are getting is the more useful thing.

Where can I find an Aussiedoodle near me in Calgary?

Start with the listings on this page, which pull from Calgary rescues and shelters and are refreshed regularly, so what you see is what is genuinely available rather than a stale directory. If nothing suits today, that is normal for this breed: rescue intake is intermittent rather than steady, and a breed with none listed this week often has several next month. Setting an alert beats checking back, and it is worth widening to nearby towns, since most rescues serving Calgary will adopt out across a reasonable driving distance rather than only inside one municipality.
