How Active is a Bordoodle?

Because Bordoodles are a Border Collie and Poodle cross, they possess genes that will produce a variety of colors and markings. From solid colors of black, red and white, to dual and tri-colored combinations and markings including merle, sable and even brindle. The iconic Bordoodle possesses the traditional "Border Collie" markings which include a white muzzle, blaze, white vest, white collar, white socks and a white tail tip.

The average Bordoodle has a shoulder height of 18-20 inches and typically weighs 35-45 lbs. However, Mountain Rose takes great pride in breeding a variety of Bordoodle sizes. See Bordoodle Size Chart.

Borderdoodle coats are generally curly or wavy and low to non-shedding. Because of the hybrid cross with the poodle, their coats are usually hypoallergenic as well.

The balancing nature of the resulting cross between a "Mountain Rose" Poodle and a "Mountain Rose" Border Collie draw the very best attributes of both breeds while seemingly leaving behind any negatives. A "Mountain Rose" Bordoodle is smart, mindfully calm and intuitive.

About Borderdoodles

Bordoodle Eye Color

When the Borderdoodle breed first became popular, most or all of the organizations that recognize this breed such as Continental Kennel Club, Designer Breed Registry, Dog Registry of America, and others named this dog the “Borderdoodle” and people came to know the breed as the "Borderdoodle" or "Border Doodle". This seemed to make the most sense because it was crossed with the Border Collie and the Poodle.

Over the years, several of the breed organizations shortened the Borderdoodle name to Bordoodle. This led the rest of them eventually changing their registry names from Borderdoodles to Bordoodles. This has led to the technical term being the Bordoodle.

Bordoodle Training

Bordoodles generally have light or dark brown eyes, but because of the Border Collie genetics they can sometimes have blue and even green eyes.
