More About Bordoodle Breed

Border Collie

Poodle (Standard)

Overview:

The Bordoodle is a charming and intelligent hybrid, a cross between the brilliant Border Collie and the sophisticated Standard Poodle. Originating from the desire to combine the Collie's trainability with the Poodle's hypoallergenic coat and sharp mind, Bordoodles are gaining popularity. Physically, they are medium-sized dogs, typically weighing 30-60 pounds, with varying coat types ranging from wavy to curly, often exhibiting beautiful color patterns. Their temperament is generally described as highly intelligent, affectionate, and energetic, making them eager to please and quick learners. They thrive in active families who can provide consistent training and mental stimulation. While adaptable, their energy levels mean they are best suited for homes with yards, though active apartment dwellers committed to daily exercise can make it work. Notable health considerations can include those common to their parent breeds, such as hip and elbow dysplasia, and certain eye conditions, emphasizing the importance of choosing a responsible breeder.
