Hearts Melt At Miniature Poodle's Reaction To Her Puppies Being Moved

The moment a concerned mom watched on while her puppies were weighed one by one has melted hearts online.

Four adorable miniature poodle puppies and their vigilant mom have delighted TikTok users after a video of "day one of weigh-ins" posted by @roguepoosuk was viewed over 720,000 times.

The video was filmed by Jessica, a licensed dog breeder in the U.K. Who captured the daily ritual of weighing the tiny, days-old puppies. With each weighing less than 300 grams, their watchful mother observed the weighing process, looking around the corner to keep an eye on things each time.

The miniature poodle puppies, with their fluffy coats and endearing expressions have captured hearts. Known for their intelligence and hypoallergenic coats, miniature poodles have become a popular breed with the American Kennel Club (AKC), listing them as the seventh-most popular breed in the U.S.

Poodles come in three size varieties, including standard, which are around 15 inches tall at the shoulder, miniatures, at 15 inches or shorter, and toys at no more than 10 inches.

Daily weigh-ins like those in the video are essential for newborn puppies as it's a crucial way of monitoring their overall health and development.

During their first few weeks, breeders like Jessica carefully track the progress of each pup to ensure they are thriving and growing at a healthy rate.

Miniature poodle puppies are particularly delicate during the initial days of their lives due to their small size. Daily weigh-ins can help identify any potential health issues, such as inadequate nutrition or developmental concerns, allowing breeders to take prompt action to address them.

In the comments, people shared their reactions to the adorable video.

"The sound of puppies is the best noise ever," said one commenter, while another wrote: "Mom very interested on how much weight there putting on bless."

"Love the way she's watching making sure her babies are ok so cute bless," added another viewer, while one said: "What a great mama she is."

One TikToker commented: "Oh gosh! I wasn't at all prepared for this. The noises. Mama worried about her bubs."

Aussiedoodle Puppies: Cute Pictures And Facts

Aussiedoodle puppies are created from a cross between an Australian Shepherd and a Poodle. This charming dog breed — sometimes referred to as Aussiepoos — steals hearts with their smarts, friendly personalities, and eye-catching coats. What's more, these pups generally have allergy-friendly coats inherited from Poodles, which shed less and can have a variety of colors and patterns. Moreover, they're affectionate and loyal and love adventures, but their boundless energy demands regular exercise and mental stimulation.

Are you thinking of welcoming an Aussiedoodle puppy into your life? Or are you simply curious to learn about these fascinating pups? Whatever the case, you are in for a treat with these fun facts about Aussiedoodle puppies.

They are a relatively new breed

The Aussiedoodle mixed dog breed may have naturally existed for a long time. However, designer breeders' intentional crossbreeding of Australian Shepherds and Poodles began most likely in North America in the late 1990s or early 2000s. In a short span of time, Aussiedoodle puppies have become extremely popular, because they generally have the best trains of Poodles and Australian Shepherds. Unfortunately, many dogs of this breed can now be found in animal shelters or rescues because of pet parents who abandoned them after realizing their exercise needs or energy levels.

Aussiedoodle puppies possess abundant energy and stamina, making them enthusiastic participants in family adventures such as hikes, long walks, park outings, or backyard escapades. They thrive on companionship, cherishing time with their families, and basking in attention. Known for forming deep bonds, they excel as devoted therapy dogs, particularly bonding closely with one or two individuals. However, they get upset when left alone and can vocalize their unhappiness if left unattended for extended periods.

They have a tendency to 'herd'

Since one-half of their parentage — Australian Shepherds — are herding dogs, an Aussiedoodle can exhibit herding behavior. This is particularly true amongst larger Aussiedoodles. It is advisable to be cautious around young children and smaller animals, as this breed may inadvertently knock them over. In addition, the herding mentality can also lead to a tendency to nip, emphasizing the importance of early socialization and training to prevent potential issues.

They are intelligent and easy to train

Given that both Poodles and Australian Shepherds are intelligent breeds, Aussiedoodle puppies inherit a high level of intelligence. Their considerable intelligence makes them easily trainable. As such, Aussiedoodles — known for their brightness, cleverness, and curiosity — enjoy mentally stimulating games. Investing in activities like pet puzzles is recommended to keep them engaged and prevent boredom-related destructive behaviors. Moreover, it is essential to expose them to various situations, animals, places, and humans. This fosters confidence and well-adjusted behavior. Their strong desire to please, coupled with intelligence and charm, makes training efforts highly rewarding for this breed.

Their coat comes in various patterns and colors

Resulting from their Australian Shepherd and Poodle lineage, Aussiedoodle coats showcase a captivating blend of colors, patterns, and textures. Colors — such as red merle, blue merle, parti, sable, black and red tri, black and tan (phantom), and occasional solid tones — mirror the variety found in Australian Shepherds. The texture of their coat is also influenced by parentage, ranging from wavy to tight curls reminiscent of Poodles.

Furthermore, Aussiedoodles tend to shed lightly, making them a potential match for individuals with allergies. However, it's essential to note that no dog breed is entirely hypoallergenic. Aussiepoos generally fare better in colder temperatures compared to toy breeds, though they need caution and adequate protection during harsh winter conditions.

Welcoming an Aussiedoodle puppy into your home means committing to a regular exercise routine. These energetic dogs need daily playtime and extended walks, especially if they take after their highly active Australian Shepherd parent. Engaging in activities like fetch, running, and swimming — taking after Poodles, who are known water dogs — are among their favorites. Aussiedoodles require a minimum of an hour of physical activity each day.

If you're eager to bring an Ausiedoodle puppy into your life, remember to adopt instead of shop.
