Bordoodles
Meet the Bordoodle
‼️ PLEASE NOTE: After much consideration and upcoming life changes, we have made the hard decision to scale back on our Bordoodle litters. We have a few litters in the works, but once those puppies are homed, we will not have any more. If you are interested in a Bordoodle, please apply for our waitlist using the “apply for a puppy” button below.
A Bordoodle is an intelligent, athletic, and affectionate cross between a Border Collie and a Poodle. This mix brings together the loyalty and brilliance of the Border Collie with the low-shedding, allergy-friendly coat and joyful personality of the Poodle.
Loved for their sharp minds and deep devotion, Bordoodles make incredible companions for active families, dog-savvy homes, and anyone looking for a smart, intuitive best friend.
Why We Love Them
Bordoodles have a special place in our hearts for their eager-to-please nature, trainability, and spark of joyful energy. They’re everything you love about a Border Collie—loyal, alert, and incredibly intelligent—balanced beautifully by the Poodle’s playful spirit and hypoallergenic coat.
They’re just as happy learning new tricks as they are chasing a ball in the backyard or cuddling on the couch after a good day of play. If you’re looking for a dog who’s equal parts clever and cuddly, the Bordoodle may be your perfect match.
Energy Level
Bordoodles have a moderate to high energy level and thrive on activity and engagement. They enjoy daily walks, games, hikes, and learning new skills—but they also know how to relax when it’s time to wind down.
They do best in homes where they’ll get regular interaction, mental stimulation, and be included in day-to-day life. Whether it’s an adventure or a quiet evening, they’re just happy to be with their people.
Training & Temperament
Thanks to their Border Collie and Poodle heritage, Bordoodles are extremely intelligent and quick to learn. They love a challenge and do especially well with positive reinforcement training. They're eager, observant, and sensitive to tone and energy, making them a joy to work with.
From crate training to advanced obedience, Bordoodles are up for anything. They’re naturally intuitive and form strong bonds with their humans
They’re so known for being great for:
Therapy and emotional support roles
Agility and performance sports
Loyal everyday companion
Health & Lifespan
Bordoodles are generally healthy, long-lived dogs with a lifespan of 12–15 years. Thanks to hybrid vigor and our careful breeding practices, they enjoy both physical vitality and emotional resilience.

Grooming & Care
Bordoodles typically have wavy to curly coats that are low- to non-shedding, making them great for allergy-sensitive homes. Regular grooming helps keep their coat healthy and tangle-free.
They do well in all climates with proper care—just be mindful of extreme heat or cold, and always provide rest, shade, or a warm, dry space as needed.
Their coats can range from wavy to curly and do best with:
Professional grooming every 6–8 weeks
Routine ear checks and nail trims
Regular brushing (2–3x per week)
City or Country?

They’re also a great addition to multi-pet homes with proper introductions and socialization.
