Bordoodles (also sometimes called Borderdoodles) are a cross between a purebred Border Collie and a purebred Poodle. Bordoodles make wonderful family pets. They’re smart, loving and affectionate and will always be by your side.
These dogs are incredibly intelligent as they are a cross of the two most intelligent dog breeds in the world. And because of their intelligence, they are one of the easiest dogs to train. (Click here to see Sophie being trained at 8 1/2 weeks!) If you begin training and socialization early, they’ll learn to enjoy obeying your commands and love being around others. Life with a Bordoodle can be fun and easy!
Also, because they’re half purebred Poodle, it stands to reason that your pup will benefit from the hypoallergenic traits carried by the Poodle. These dogs will usually shed far less than other dog breeds. Their coat will require occasional brushing and baths are seldom needed unless they’ve spent a lot of time outside.
Bordoodles are usually medium-sized dogs, but can weigh between 15 and 70 pounds. Minis will typically range between 15 and 30 pounds and the medium/standards will generally range between 35 and 60 pounds. In our experience, the most common size is 35-40 pounds.
Because they’re part Border Collie, they may have working dog traits. They love to be active, but don’t let this scare you. It only means they’ll love to work, exercise and play with you. Our Border Collie Dicey, for example, is a feisty worker. She’ll run all day and will herd anything. Goats, cats, chickens, kids. Anything. BUT, she still lives inside the house with us and loves to lay with us by the fire and watch a movie!
If you enjoy occasional walks or jogs, going to the park or taking hikes, but also enjoy a faithful companion who’ll snuggle every night, then the Bordoodle is perfect for you! And believe me, there’s almost nothing cuter.
