It's Kismet!

We have 5 gorgeous, healthy Mini-Bordoodles available for sale to caring owners.

3 girls and 2 boys born October 13, 2018.

Mostly black with a small white `soul patch`and some have white toes and splash of white chest fur.  Their puppy coat is fluffy and low to no shedding.  Please see pics on the "Current Litter" page.  As I am writing they have just reached 7 weeks old and already most of them are paper trained!

Each puppy comes vet-checked, de-wormed, all vaccinations and micro-chipped, full grown weight 20-27 lbs. This rare breed, from these two very special dogs is guaranteed to yield exceptional family companions.

But, wait...there's more.....

Segue for a moment to my childhood, growing up on a beef cattle farm north of Toronto where my Dad has bred and raised working Border Collies. A well established lineage of bright, hard-working dogs has evolved and so too has a waiting list for each litter. Two years ago he and I decided to purchase, Angus, a very special male stud to service his females and our Zoe when she matured. Angus comes from world class stock, his great grandfather Mirk, won the Calgary Stampede World Stock Dog Championship in 2015 - besting a field of over 100 world`s brightest and fittest dogs.  Angus is still 2yrs old and has matured into a highly intelligent, obedient and exceedingly affectionate adult with a silky black and white coat.




We found Zoe!

Further digging revealed that most Bordoodle breeders were on the West Coast which was a deal-breaker for us living in southern Ontario as we wanted to first check out the puppy and his family before bringing this new, life-long pal into our family.  The few breeders in Ontario were breeding Standard size Poodles with Border Collies and the resulting offspring would generally weigh upwards of 60 lbs when full-grown,  which was a much larger pet than we wanted.  In the end we decided to play the long game and found a beautiful pure-bred Mini-Poodle with the future goal of breeding our own Bordoodle to be small enough to comfortably fit in our home...a Mini-BordoodleZoe, our Mini-Poodle, has been a terrific companion for all of us.  She is affectionate and calm indoors although very athletic when we take her to the park.  She loves to sprint after a tennis ball or frisbee and waits gleefully each afternoon for her daily romp.   Her intelligence is a frequent source of surprise and delight.  It took us a few months to recognize her extensive vocabulary, a range of different, mostly single, short barks; eg.  our friend at the door, her friend at the door (another Border Collie `Beau`), want to go outside, want to come inside, food/water bowl is empty, alert! stranger outside.....  She has bonded with each member of our extended family and has joyfully welcomed former friends even after not seeing them in over two years!
