Living with Bordoodle Dogs
Being a Bordoodle pet owner can be very rewarding. Here’s a quick look at their needs.
Temperament & Social Needs
- Bordoodles are intelligent, responsive, and highly people-focused dogs. They tend to form strong bonds with their families and enjoy being involved in daily activities.
- Early socialisation helps them grow into confident and well mannered companions. They generally get along well with children and other pets when properly introduced.
Exercise & Grooming
- While low-shedding, their dense, wavy coats require brushing 2 to 3 times a week and professional grooming every 6 to 8 weeks to prevent painful matting.
- They inherit a strong work ethic and need daily exercise, including brisk walks, runs, or fetch sessions.
Health Insights
- Bordoodles benefit from the generally good health of both the Border Collie and the Poodle, with genetic screening in both lines helping to minimise the risk of inherited conditions.
- With their Poodle-like floppy ears, Bordoodles can be prone to moisture build-up and trapped dirt. Regular ear cleaning helps prevent infections.
