Bordoodle Breeder

 My husband grew up with a Standard Poodle named Lady, and I grew up around Border Collies and Australian Shepherds. When I was a little girl, I used to bottle feed lambs, and I loved fluffy puppies . . . and kittens . . . and horses . . . and all animals, actually!)

My kids share the same love for animals that we do.

When I was 18, I moved to Oregon and then to Arizona with my cousin. We lived with her parents (my Aunt and Uncle) when we first got there. I lived in Arizona for over 20 years, and my cousin and Aunt, and Uncle always had poodles! I love them! We would a dog and house sit for them when they would go on vacation. One summer, my job was exclusively house sitting people's dogs and cats while they were on vacation. I took care of many different animals, including poodles.

When we got married, we got our first puppy, a Border Collie/Aussie mix that we rescued. Then we brought home our first pure-pred puppy as a married couple, Tisdale, a blue merle Australian Shepherd. 

We started breeding Border Collie/Aussie's, and then we transitioned into purebred Australian Shepherds, and then to purebred Border Collies. 

People always said to me, why don't you breed Bordoodles. I was hesitant at first, although my cousin successfully and responsibly breeds Goldendoodles. She first brought home a Golden Retriever, Faith, as a licensed and trained service dog for her daughter, Rebecca, who has Rubenstein-Taybi Syndrome. Then when Faith passed away of old age, she brought home Daisy, a Goldendoodle for Rebecca. I just wasn't sure if I was ready for a Doodle until I met Daisy. She is the best!

I started researching Poodle genetics and joined Doodle groups. I took several genetics classes for breeders. I talked to many Poodle breeders. My decision to start breeding Bordoodles was careful and thoughtful. We took our time and finally decided to bring home Sienna, our first Poodle, a red standard. 

We love her temperament, her structure, and her strong motherly instincts. 

Our Border Collies are medium drive loving sweethearts! They are athletic and healthy. When it's time to hang out, they are chill and laid back. We love their loyalty and how they want to be right with us all the time. 

Well, there is just a bit of our story; stay tuned for more. Thanks for reading, and Happy Monday!
