The Most Beautiful Dogs in the World: Australian Mountain Doodles & Australian Mountain Dogs

History of the Australian Mountain Dog - Gorgeous Dogs

Despite its name, the Australian Mountain Dog is not from Australia—it is a purposeful crossbreed developed in the United States. Designed to blend the intelligence, agility, and herding instincts of the Australian Shepherd with the loyalty, strength, and affectionate nature of the Bernese Mountain Dog, this breed has quickly become a sought-after companion for active families and adventure lovers.

At Stokeshire Designer Doodles, we were among the first breeders in the Midwest to refine and promote this remarkable cross, ensuring both furnished and unfurnished varieties are available to meet the unique needs of dog owners. Our dedication to selective breeding has helped the Australian Mountain Dog gain recognition for its balanced temperament, striking coat patterns, and versatile athleticism.

With their stunning double coats, captivating color variations, and keen intelligence, these dogs resemble the unfurnished Australian Mountain Doodle, offering a more natural, low-maintenance alternative for those who prefer a sleek, straight-coated look. Whether on the trails, in a therapy setting, or simply by your side as a devoted companion, the Australian Mountain Dog is a breed with beauty, heart, and purpose—a true standout among designer breeds.

Temperament

The Most Beautiful Dogs in the World: The Stokeshire Australian Mountain Dog

At Stokeshire Designer Doodles, we believe that beauty goes beyond a stunning coat—it’s about the perfect blend of form, function, and temperament. That’s why we’ve dedicated years to developing the Australian Mountain Dog (AMD) and Australian Mountain Doodle (AMDoodle), a breathtaking cross between the Bernese Mountain Dog and Australian Shepherd, with or without Poodle influence. These exceptional dogs combine elegance, intelligence, and affectionate companionship, making them truly some of the most beautiful dogs in the world.

The Unfurnished Australian Mountain Dog: A Natural Beauty

At Stokeshire Designer Doodles, we take pride in offering both furnished and unfurnished Australian Mountain Dogs (AMD)—each with its own unique appeal. The unfurnished AMD stands out for its sleek, straight coat and more natural appearance, closely resembling the Bernese Mountain Dog and Australian Shepherd without the fluffy furnishings often associated with doodles.

What is an Unfurnished AMD?

The term "unfurnished" refers to the lack of the Furnishing (F) gene, which is responsible for the beard, mustache, and fluffy eyebrows seen in Poodle and Bernedoodle coats. Instead, unfurnished Australian Mountain Dogs have a smooth, straight, or slightly wavy coat with a soft, plush texture that showcases their stunning merle, tricolor, and bi-color patterns.

Why Choose an Unfurnished AMD?

🐕 Low Maintenance Coat – Less grooming and matting compared to doodle coats.
🏡 Ideal for Families with Mild Allergies – While not hypoallergenic, their shedding is often lighter than a pure Bernese.
⛰️ More Athletic & Natural Look – Leaner, agile, and closer in appearance to their working-dog ancestors.
❤️ Longer Lifespan & Robust Health – A carefully balanced blend of Bernese longevity improvements with the intelligence and energy of the Aussie.

At Stokeshire, we have intentionally bred both furnished and unfurnished varieties, allowing families to select the ideal coat type for their lifestyle. Whether you prefer the natural elegance of an unfurnished AMD or the fluffy, low-shedding coat of a furnished Australian Mountain Doodle, our breeding program ensures each puppy is raised for temperament, structure, and health.

What Makes the Australian Mountain Dog So Beautiful?

✔ Striking Coat Patterns & Colors – From rich tricolor markings to stunning merle patterns, no two are exactly alike.
✔ Expressive Eyes – Many inherit the piercing blue eyes of the Australian Shepherd or the gentle, soulful gaze of the Bernese.
✔ Balanced Build – With graceful agility and a sturdy frame, they have the ideal blend of athleticism and strength.
✔ Elegant Coat Types – Whether furnished (wavy/curly) or unfurnished (straight/smooth), their coats are both striking and manageable.
✔ Iconic Personality – Confident, loving, and loyal, they radiate beauty inside and out.

Pioneering a Vision: Stokeshire’s Unique Approach

At Stokeshire, we were among the first breeders to refine the Australian Mountain Dog by carefully selecting for both furnished and unfurnished varieties. This dedication ensures we offer families a perfect match based on lifestyle, coat preference, and allergy considerations.

🐾 The Australian Mountain Dog (AMD) – The Classic Aussie Bernese Cross

A balanced blend of Bernese Mountain Dog and Australian Shepherd, these dogs carry the best of both worlds—intelligence, trainability, and stunning coats with less shedding than a purebred Berner. Their agile yet gentle nature makes them ideal adventure companions or therapy dogs.

At Stokeshire Designer Doodles, we’ve carefully introduced Mini American Shepherds with striking blue eyes into our multigenerational Australian Mountain Dog program to refine size while maintaining the breed’s intelligence, agility, and stunning coat patterns. By incorporating this smaller, highly trainable breed, we reduce the size of the Bernese influence, creating a more compact, athletic, and long-lived companion. This strategic pairing enhances brown and red merle variations, adding even more diversity to the breed’s already breathtaking appearance. The smaller size contributes to improved longevity, ensuring families can enjoy their beautiful, affectionate Australian Mountain Dogs for many years to come.

🐾 The Australian Mountain Doodle – A Stunning Hybrid

By incorporating the Poodle, we’ve developed an even more allergy-friendly version while maintaining the striking merle, tricolor, and sable patterns of the AMD. These dogs have wavy, hypoallergenic coats and are perfect for families looking for a low-shedding companion with high intelligence.
