Mini Doodle dogs can make brilliant pets. They are bred by combining a usually small Poodle parent with another pure breed.
They fit well into most family homes, and tend to have friendly temperaments to match those gorgeous curly locks.
Small doodles tend to be bred from one Miniature or Toy Poodle parent.
This parent is mixed with another pure bred dog of a different breed, usually another Miniature variety.
Let's take a look at some of the most popular Mini Doodles and why we love them!

Mini Aussiedoodle
The Mini Aussiedoodle is a mix of Australian Shepherd and Miniature Poodle.
This mix combines two very clever and active dogs.
They are likely to benefit from keeping very busy, and having lots of fun time bonding through positive reinforcement training.
Mini Aussiedoodles can also end up being less mini than you might imagine, and closer to the Australian Shepherd's natural size.
These aren't enormous dogs themselves, but aren't exactly small either!

Mini Bernedoodle
This beautiful dog is a combination of the Bernese Mountain Dog and Miniature or Toy Poodle.
This small Doodle can actually end up being a rather larger size than you might expect in adulthood.

It's not possible to tell when they are puppies which is going to be biggest, so expect the unexpected!

These little dogs have a good chance of having a very friendly and fun nature.

You thought the Mini Goldendoodle was your smallest option? Think again!

Making a naturally larger dog as small as possible has some serious potential drawbacks.
