Hello! I’m the breeder behind Ridgeview Aussiedoodles, located in beautiful New Durham, NH. At Ridgeview, our puppies are raised with love and attention from our entire family, ensuring that each litter receives the highest quality care. They are treated as part of our family and are lovingly socialized from an early age, surrounded by young children and a variety of pets, including chickens and ducks.
Our dogs are known for their friendly, outgoing temperaments, as well as their intelligence, loyalty, and adventurous spirits, making them perfect companions for active families. Both of the parents are AKC registered, and have undergone comprehensive genetic health testing through Embark.
When you bring one of our puppies into your home, they will be fully vet-checked, up-to-date on vaccines, and ready to be your new cuddle buddy. We take great care in preparing our puppies to ensure they arrive healthy, well-socialized, and ready to bring as much joy to your household as they have brought to ours.
Once we receive your application, we will reach out to schedule an informational phone call at your convenience. During this call, we’ll take the time to better understand your lifestyle and preferences, while also addressing any questions you may have about the process. Following our conversation, you’ll have the opportunity to place a non-refundable deposit which allows you to pick your puppy from a currently available litter or reserve your spot on our waiting list for a future litter.
The non-refundable deposit is important because it helps us ensure that those on our waiting list are truly excited and ready to work with us. It helps us avoid adding names without real intent, and instead, we’re able to build a community of families who share our values and commitment to responsible breeding. It also comforts us to know that our upcoming litters will be welcomed into loving, stable, and dedicated homes. Our greatest wish is to match each puppy with a family that is ready and eager to welcome them into their lives. This way, we can rest assured that our puppies will always have a loving family waiting for them and will never be without a place to call home.
Here, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most common questions we receive to help you better understand our breeding practices and what to expect when welcoming one of our puppies into your home. From details about our puppies' health, temperament, expected size and potential coat colors, to our position in regards to tail docking and dew claw removal, we’ve provided clear and informative responses to ensure you feel confident and well-informed.
Along with being kept up-to-date on vet visits, all of our parents undergo genetic health testing through Embark. This helps ensure the health, temperament, and quality of the dogs we raise. It screens for hereditary diseases and genetic disorders, ensuring that the dogs are less likely to develop certain health issues. Testing also helps with understanding traits such as size, coat color, and behavior, leading to more informed breeding decisions.
Additionally, genetic health testing can enhance the breed's overall health and longevity by reducing the likelihood of passing down harmful genetic traits.
No, we do not dock our puppies' tails or remove their dew claws. We believe in allowing our puppies to keep these natural features as they are important for their balance, communication, and overall well-being. Tails help puppies express themselves, and dew claws can provide extra stability and support. We are committed to ensuring our puppies grow up healthy and happy, and we feel that keeping their tails and dew claws intact is the best choice for their development.
Our Miniature Aussiedoodle puppies are expected to reach a fully grown weight of around 25 to 40 pounds, depending on their genetics and individual growth patterns. With a perfect blend of the Miniature Australian Shepherd and Moyen Poodle, they inherit traits that make them both charming and manageable in size. They’ll typically stand about 15 to 20 inches tall at the shoulder, making them an ideal companion for families who want a medium-sized dog that’s both energetic and adaptable. As they grow, these puppies will develop into loving, intelligent, and playful adults, maintaining their delightful personality in a size that fits comfortably in most living spaces.
Both of our Moms are merle, and have red and blue examples in their lineage. They also both have black tri coat in their lines. Our dad is a beautiful red parti, with a white coat and red patterns. As a result, we can expect a wonderful variety of colors and markings in the puppies, making each one truly unique.
Aussiedoodles are a wonderful mix of the Australian Shepherd and Poodle, and as such, they do require regular grooming to keep their coats healthy and looking their best. While their coats are typically low-shedding, they can grow thick and curly, which means they need regular brushing to prevent matting and tangling. Depending on their coat type, some Aussiedoodles may also benefit from professional grooming every few months to keep their fur neat and manageable. Regular grooming not only helps maintain their appearance but also promotes healthy skin and coat, ensuring your Aussiedoodle stays happy and comfortable.
When your puppy comes home, they will arrive with a comprehensive starter kit to help you get started on your journey together. This typically includes a health record, training and care information, food they have been been eating, favorite toy, and cozy blanket with mom and littermates' scent for comfort. We want you and your puppy to feel prepared and confident as you begin this wonderful adventure!
