Breed history
The Australian Mountain Doodle (Aussie Bernedoodle), often called the Aussie Mountain Doodle or AMD, is a beloved breed with a rich history.
The Australian Mountain Doodle is a triple-cross hybrid combining the Australian Shepherd, Bernese Mountain Dog, and Poodle. Breeders developed this mix to capture the intelligence and work ethic of the Australian Shepherd, the calm gentleness of the Bernese Mountain Dog, and the hypoallergenic coat of the Poodle. The result is a versatile family companion that tends to shed less than its purebred parent breeds while maintaining the best personality traits of all three. The breed gained popularity in the 2010s as demand grew for intelligent, family-friendly dogs with low-shedding coats.
