I know the answer to this as I have one but I wanted to see if anyone else knew the CORRECT mix...
australian Shepard is not one of them

the words 'australian mix' could really mean any dog that has one breed with 'australian' in the name. It's like saying 'feather footed mix' for chickens.

I am almost absolutely positive that this is not a standardized thing like a doodle that will have a set mix that people would know.

Yeah definitely not. Plus there’s like at least 6 dog breeds with Australian in the name. Not to mention countless other dog breeds that are from Australia but don’t have Australian in the name. So it could mean literally anything.

Just off the top of my head there’s Australian Shepherd, Australian Cattle Dog (AKA Heeler) Australian Kelpie, Australian Terrier plus dingoes etc. Most people would think of Australian Shepherd or Cattle Dog though.

There is one breed in an Australian mix that no one will ever even think of.... I’ll post a picture of my boy and see if you can work out his mix...
