An intelligent, sociable, and affectionate dog, the Aussiedor is a wonderful hybrid of the Australian Shepherd and Labrador Retriever. The average weight of this breed of dog is between 40 and 80 pounds.

Australian ancestry gives Aussiedors an inborn dynamism. They thrive on regular activity, so be sure to take them out for a lengthy walk, run, or session of active play every day. Their high levels of energy make them ideal therapy dogs and competitors in canine sports including agility, flyball, obedience, and rally. Aussiedors have a reputation for being active and outgoing pets who love to play.

Australian Shepherds are very bright and fast to pick up new skills. They thrive on challenges and learn quickly via positive reinforcement training. This quality makes them perfect for owners who want to put in the time and effort to teach and socialize their pets.

Aussiedors are well-known for their intense love of and devotion to their owners. They are great guard dogs because they develop deep ties with their people and often display protective tendencies. Because they are always on the lookout for potential danger, they may be wary of new people or environments.

To produce confident and well-adjusted canine citizens, socialization of Aussiedor puppies is essential. Young children who are exposed to many different people, animals, and settings are less likely to develop social anxiety, fear, or hostility as adults. If you have the time and energy to devote to training and socializing your Aussiedor, you will be rewarded with a devoted, intelligent, and energetic friend.
