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.
Even if you combine the smallest Poodle with a Giant Bernese you might end up with a super-sized pooch.
It's not possible to tell when they are puppies which is going to be biggest, so expect the unexpected!

The Cavapoo combines the Cavalier King Charles with a Miniature or Toy Poodle.
Both parents are smaller in stature so you are guaranteed a pup that stays a nice portable size for life.
But be careful to check the Cavalier parent's health certificates as they have some nasty conditions that you don't want your Mini Cavapoo inheriting.
These little dogs have a good chance of having a very friendly and fun nature.

Teacup Goldendoodle
You thought the Mini Goldendoodle was your smallest option? Think again!
But is shrinking a breed like the Golden Retriever down this far necessarily a good thing?

Making a naturally larger dog as small as possible has some serious potential drawbacks.
You can find out what these are and whether you think they are worth it in our Teacup Goldendoodle guide.

Teacup Maltipoo
The teacup Maltipoo combines the already tiny Maltese with a Toy Poodle.

And for that decrease in size you might be better off choosing the slightly bigger, yet still little, Maltipoo.

This small Doodle will have a peppy personality as well as an incredible coat.
Ranging from long and wavy to tight curls, in a huge variety of colors.
Pomeranians are picture perfect, but like many tiny dogs can be a little grumpy on occasion, so make sure you meet the parents and are happy with their personality before you pick your puppy.

Miniature Springerdoodle
The Mini Springerdoodle combines with spritely Springer Spaniel with the more demur Miniature Poodle.
As Springer Spaniels are medium sized dogs, your Mini Springerdoodle is likely to be small to medium sized.
Not the smallest of the mini doodles, but not the largest by far.
This pup will probably be very energetic and have keen hunting instincts, so be sure to work on that recall from puppyhood.

Mini Doodle Dog Breeds
