About Bordoodles

A well bred and loved puppy should not have any trauma or experiences that will cause it to be a poor companion to another dog. The temperament of the “other dog” will be an important detail we will discuss with you when helping you select which puppy is right for your family.

“Hypoallergenic” is a sales ploy word that many breeders use. A reputable breeder is unlikely to use such a term. That said, there are absolutely coat types that generally do not aggravate people with allergies to dogs. This does depend on what the person is allergic to. If a person is allergic to canine saliva, there is nothing we can do to help this. If the person is allergic to the hair and dander, there absolutely are genetic ales responsible for this. We do DNA testing on all of our breeding dogs to gain more insight about their specific genetic makeup. This allows us to select our pairings carefully and to be able to educate our families on which pairings will be most likely to produce puppies with allergy friendly coats. Despite basic information, this is simply not a “only get an F1b” answer. Actually, there are multiple generations of Bordoodles that can produce allergy friendly coats including but not limited to F1b, F2/F2b, multigenerational and even some rare F1 pairings. So you are not limited to only one generation if a non shedding, allergy friendly coat is your need.

Miniature: 12-20lb (F1b)

Moyan: 20-30lb (F1, F1b & F2b)

Small Standard: 30-40lb (F1, F1b and F2b)

Standard: 40-55lb (F1, F1b, F2b and Multigenerational)

About Oregon Bordoodles

Are your children good with Bordoodles? Our puppies are properly exposed to children of various ages that understand how to respect a dog. The puppies receive proper child socialization to give them the best start possible at enjoying, respecting, adoring and having a good experience with kids. Many of our Bordoodles are in permanent families with children of all ages.To help the transition go smoothly for your children and your puppy, we suggest you follow Puppy Culture and Baxter and Bella protocols.Puppy CultureBaxter and Bella (OREGONBORDOODLES for 25% off)

Bordoodles are not recognized as an actual breed yet, and are still considered a “hybrid” therefor, they cannot be registered. However, each puppy has a pedigree that goes back at least four generations that can be provided to you! Our Bordoodles ALWAYS come from purebred, registered dogs. Many doodles are registered with what you may know as the “CKC”. The Continental Kennel Club is an unreliable company, at best. Any breeder can register their dog or puppies with this company and the company will “take their word for it” on who the parents were and what breed(s) are involved. This is not a company I am comfortable supplying money to as they have virtually no credibility. I am working closely with a few reputable Breeders of Bordoodles to create a “Standard” for the breed and thus, a reputable and traceable registration process. Until then, there is no such thing as a “registered Bordoodle.”

We have many Oregon Bordoodles in Canada! There are various ways to do this. We do not ship “Cargo”. You can:

  • Drive your puppy over the border
  • Fly your puppy in the cabin (with you)
  • Pay a company such as Dog Gone Taxi to get your puppy over the border (they specialize in this and we have worked with them before)
  • Pay a “Flight Nanny” to fly your puppy to your nearest airport with them in the cabin

Absolutely! Please see our Genetic Testing page.

F1 (purebred Border Collie x purebred Poodle)

F1b (F1 Bordoodle x Poodle or Border Collie)

F2/F2b (F1 Bordoodle x F1b Bordoodle)

Multigenerational aka “Multigen” (F2/F2b Bordoodle x F1b Bordoodle)

Every Bordoodle is a little different depending on the genetics of the parents! On average; F1s are wavy to wavy/curly (aka “Fleece coat”) F1bs are wavy/curly to curly (aka “Wool coat’) and F2bs are generally a step between the two. More curly than Fleece coat but less so than a Wool coat.

You can see what they look like as adults on our “All grown up” page.

Buying an Oregon Bordoodle

All of our puppies expected for 2021 and some of 2022 are already RESERVED. We do not take deposits for specific litters. Every family that has placed a deposit goes onto one Master List. When a litter is born, we start with the oldest deposit family first, and offer them a position in the litter. If they accept, they are moved to that litter’s list. If they pass for any reason (not a size or generation they prefer, bad timing etc) then we move to the next person on the list. We continue offering positions in each litter born, starting from the top of the list and working our way down. If a female had 8 puppies, we will work down our Master List until 6-7 people have tentatively said “Yes” to the litter. This means they like the size of the pairing, the generation, see colors/genders they like and the Go-Home date works with their schedule. We leave 1-2 spots “unreserved” until the litter is older and we have had an opportunity to decide if we ourselves will be holding anything back in the litter. Once the puppies are around 7 weeks old and we have completed our temperament evaluations, we will begin with Family 1 that said yes to the litter, and help them select a puppy. If at any point a family decides they are no longer interested in the litter, they are moved back to the Master List where they originally were, not loosing their place in line. This allows our families flexibility. Rather than promising themselves to a litter that doesn’t even exist yet, they have the freedom to pass or accept each litter born, as we offer/get to their name. The pros of this method are clear. The cons of this method are: it’s a lot of work for me and it makes quoting the timing for getting a puppy difficult. However, both are worth it in the long run as ultimately, success for our families and puppies is our top priority. This method keeps things very fair and flexible for our families. More on how our Deposit List works can be found here.

Due to the meticulous process we go through with each of our families to pair them with the right puppy for their lifestyle, the occurrences of a family returning their Bordoodle is few and far between. However, if we ever have an adult available he/she will be posted on our Facebook page. We do not sell “Retired breeding dogs” because our breeding dogs live with their forever family under our “Guardianship” program.

No. Most often, puppies are reserved by families who already have a standing deposit. If there is an available puppy that all current deposit families have passed on (6+ weeks of age) he/she will be posted on the Puppies page. This is extremely rare given our long list of deposit families. We are not accepting any applications for 2021 puppies at this time.

Our goal is to produce consistently healthy and well balanced puppies. We do a lot to ensure this outcome and therefore, having a puppy less than the goal is few and far between. While we may occasionally produce a puppy with an umbilical hernia or overbite, the discount is generally $100 or less.

  • Hire a flight nanny to fly your puppy to you. This ranges from $350 all the way up to $800 depending on location, time of ear and timeline.
  • Drive to pick up your puppy and drive home with your puppy. If the drive is longer than one night, we prefer you fly.

Around 10-11 weeks of age is a good time to bring your puppy into the groomer for a short visit. Possibly a bath and brush-out, with no dryer. Or just a brush out, if your puppy is particularly weary. About 3 weeks later, do that again, but add 2-5 mins of blow-dryer time with lots of treats. Pick your puppy up soon, or even stay there for the visit. Slowly build up about every 3 weeks until your puppy can tolerate a full groom which includes bath, blow dry, nails, hair trim and brush out. Once puppy is confident with a full groom, you can move to every 6-8 weeks. Please see our Grooming page for further details!
