Bordoodle vs Aussiedoodle

Are you considering an Aussiedoodle vs a Bordoodle? While both breeds have their base coming from herding dogs (the Australian Shepherd and the Border Collie), Bordoodles and Aussiedoodles could not be more different. In the past, many years ago, we professionally trained both Australian Shepherds and Border Collies to herd. There is a BIG difference in how each breed is used.
 
Australian Shepherds are used primarily in close herding quarters such as corrals, cattle chutes, etc... and work well with aggressive cows and bulls. They use "bark and bite" when herding and are very brave dogs... which is why Australian Shepherds are known to also chase cars.

Aside from their superior athletic ability, Border Collies possess a much higher intelligence and a tremendous reasoning ability above that of all other dogs. Border Collies herd with their eyes and body language, not "bark and bite". This is why Border Collies are the preferred dog when working with sheep. Border Collies are the only herding dog that can receive multiple commands and follow them out in sequence. They are the only dog on earth where you can teach them to make a wide sweep on a herd (cows or sheep) on the open range, and they understand why they are doing it. This shows tremendous reasoning ability and self-restraint. They are the only herding dog that you can send over the hill out of site to bring back the herd on their own. Border Collies consistently win the National and International herding competitions, as well as the agility competitions worldwide. The astonishing icing on the cake, but to no surprise, Border Collies are also ranked as the #1 smartest dog on earth. These amazing traits along with their strong inborn desire to please also make them the most trainable dog on earth as well. 

Bordoodles combine the positive attributes of the Border Collie (#1 smartest dog) with the tremendous benefits of the Standard Poodle (#2 smartest dog and non-shedding). If there is a drawback to this breed, I would have to say that it may lie in the offense of you being stopped so often by people to ask what breed of dog you have… Well, I suppose this actually pretty fun!
