The Aussiedoodle, also known as Aussiepoo, is a mix of two breeds: Poodle and Australian Shepherd. Makes sense that they gave it that name.
This is what they call a Hybrid, hybrids are becoming very common lately, must be getting bored of all the other dogs.

They are fairly good dogs, they have great personalities and are very hyper. They are good with other animals, and great with kids.
Australian Shepherds are herding dogs, so the Aussiedoodle does like to round up its people.

They are very intelligent and love to take orders (As long as it’s not too many of course). This dog is NOT recommended as a good watch dog, they get easily distracted, and they won’t keep someone away, they want the attention.

They are not hard to groom, of course it depends on the type of hair, and it comes in different styles. Some of them need to be clipped once in a while, depending on how you want their hair to be. Some of them, have allot of problems with their ears, they get exes wax and dirt gets in there. Be sure and clean them regularly.

They like to run ALLOT, so it’s best to have a large yard or farm for them to run on, they are not a good god to have if you live in a small area.

Weight:
Male: 25-70 pounds
Female: 25-70 pounds


Height:
Male: 14-23 inches

Female: 14-23 inches

I personally, think they have a funny name, Aussiepoodle. I could say that over and over. HA!

Zipperdoodle AKA Zed

November is National Pet Cancer Awareness Month. This is the second year that VPI (Veterinary Pet Insurance) is having a walk to raise awareness of the number one killer of dogs and cats, with a three mile walk for people and their pets. This year, November 15th, they will be having that walk.

I was reading that cancer is most common in older dogs, over half of the dogs that get cancer will not live. When they are older, their bodies are more susceptible to disease.


Animal Cancer Foundation says that, “Dogs, and cats are 14 times more likely to get cancer then humans”.

Here is a good article that tells you all about cancer in dogs and list the warning signs to look out for. I read through it, and I think I am good, I have no signs of it.

All About Cancer in Dogs

So, be sure and check your old pooch out, and raise awareness about this horrible disease. And yes, be sure and check your cats out too, I may not like them much, but I would not wish that on any of them. I do wish to chase them, now THAT’S FUN!

Hey guys,
I know that Halloween is coming up this week. It’s been a year since last time we had to go through this and maybe it is the first Halloween for some of you pups.

Thought I should send out a little support.
Some of you are going to get all dressed up in outfits so you can go out with the family to trick or treat. Many of us are just staying home and hangin out.

Now whether you are out walkin the street with kids or just answering the door at home – most of these kids are gonna say “oh look a cute doggy”. Just suck it up guys you can be a cute doggy for 1 night. We all know that you are actually king/queen of the house.

What I have to say next is really important – The kids you see are super excited! They have waited a whole year for this night! Not only that but many of them are wired to the hilt on sugar! Yeah, they take these kids around to get pounds of sugar! (I can’t go to the neighbors and pee on their tree but, kids can ask for candy?) Who knows how much sugar they have eaten by the time they see you. Kids + Sugar = loud, noisy, jumping, and maybe even grabby miniature people! You have to be prepared for all of this. You must keep your cool, remember no growling or snarling!

For you big dogs – you know who you are! You have those tails that hit like a 2x4. Keep your tail down! Yeah if you are not paying attention you will whack some little bitty kid, they will fall to the ground, and cry! That means more noise! We do not need that! So my advice is keep your butt turned AWAY from the little people, they don’t want to sniff it anyway!

For you dogs that like to jump! Do not jump on the kids! Think about what could happen. You may have kids lined up at the door 10 deep. You jump on the one in the front and then they all start falling like a stack of dominos, into a heap of costumed mess. Hey, picturing that was kinda funny. Could you imagine doing that with a video cam running? WoooHooo, the YouTube hits that would get. Oooops, just got my paws slapped for that one. I said “do not do that, hmmm, it would NOT be funny”! Nope don’t even think about it!

For any of you that think you can not handle yourself in a mature (non freaked out) way – go to the bedroom. Yip, just go in a room have them shut the door and watch some TV! Maybe a cold beer and a bowl of peanuts, not for you, for your dad! You know he is gonna be hinding from all that racket ASAP!

If you need to just go hide, do not be ashamed, some of us just do not have the DNA to handle all of the excitement.

If you are a runner listen up! I know that when some of you get frightened you will run right out the door or gate – not a good idea! Then you are out in the crazy mess, it is dark, and there are crazy drivers on the road! Stay inside!

As my friend the Australian Shepard would say ‘No worries mate, it will all be over in a couple of hours’. Unless you own a few little people then it will all be over when the candy is gone. Oh the candy! Do not eat it!!!! At my house when someone eats candy, mom makes them brush their teeth. Nothin is worth getting my teeth brushed!

Ok, Ok! Tomarra wants me to tell you that candy can make a dog sick. So sick they could even die. Being sick is no fun but, being dead would be a really big bummer! There I hope Mrs. Health and fitness is happy now that I did her ‘public service’ announcement.

So, have a great time and howl at the mooooooooon!
Zed – King of the house, when Tomarra lets me.

Pit Bull Awareness Day began on October 25th 2007.
Where the good responsible people celebrate the awesomeness of these dogs, and bring awareness to what some of these dogs are used for, such as dog fighting, which is only the owners fault. It is also to show that pit bulls are really good, loyal dogs, if in the right hands.

Some have been used for rescuing and even as military dogs. I know some people do not like them, but I bet that if they needed rescued, pit bulls would not be looking to scary after all.

Some cities/counties want to put a ban on pits. Zed wrote a little bit about the ban in Denver. Which me and him both think is nothing but bull.

Denver Breed Ban is Bull

This October 18th in Richmond, VA, they have a one-mile walk. NICE people could bring their pits and proudly show them off as they did the walk.

I think it is the people’s job, as a dog owner to make sure they are trained and socialized. That goes for all dogs, we all need good owners that take proper care of us.

I mean come on, who would not want an awesome terrier. Pshh we are cute and good dogs, we are actually better then any other dog. Well, maybe I am overexerting, but ya’ know it is true.

So be sure and mark on the calendar Pit Bull Awareness Day, so we can try and change the perspective of these awesome dogs.

So check this out.
I was up with one of my people, and we were listen to the radio. It was very late, but we like to listen to Mix 94.1 (Local Las Vegas Station) and see what they are making fun of and talking about.

Well, it all started out with them talking about, really weird pet names, and they were having people call in saying what their pets names were/are.

Then, they got a call by this one guy and he said the stupidest name he knew was something like “Kitty Smoosh Face”. He said he had found this blog that was written by a cat. THEY MADE FUN OF IT. How dare them.

They said they wanted to find a dog blog. If my stupid human would have called in, I could have been on THE RADIO, but she was obviously not thinking.

I just don’t get how they can make fun at us, they are just jealous. Hu, just because THEY ARE LAME, does not mean we are too.

Basically, I had a chance at fame! I was excited, then BAM, this song came on, and it was all gone.

Maybe I’ll send them an email?!
