Meet the breeder

I'm Andrea S., the breeder behind Circle R Valley Bordoodls located in Valley Center, CA. We are family operated and look at our dogs as our pets first. In our program, we use ENS & ESI and as well as puppy curriculum called the BABs method. We do puppy selection at 6.5 weeks after they have been temperament tested. All our dogs are health certified through embark and our vet.

Q. & A. with Andrea

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Getting into breeding was 2 fold for us. We were wanting to get a Border Collie but didn't want the working kind. Having a mix of a Border Collie(our Bordoodle) we thought would be perfect. What we realized was the Bordoodle was it. We were looking for F1b Reverse Bordoodles but there wasn't anyone out there that did that, so we decided to breed that way ourselves.

  • What makes your program special?

    For us the main detail that sets us a part is the uniqueness of our breed. We don't just breed 50/50 or 75 poodle/ 25 Border Collie, but unconventional back to the Border Collie. This isn't for those that want the non shedding, this is for those that LOVE the Border Collie smarts but want less working drive. We also have found picking the right parents temperament is key.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include white and black, white and red merle, white and blue merle, red merle, blue merle, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

Pay over time with Klarna.

“Our prices vary depending on which type of Bordoodle. It doesn’t vary on look or color but on which breed(F1, F1b, F2, F1b Reverse). Our deposits are $300 and taken after the litter has been born and to lock your spot in for selection day.”

    Verified owner · June 2026

    Andrea and her family are truly one of a kind. I connected with her a year before I got my puppy and she kept me informed the whole way through. Her knowledge and dedication to her pups are unmatched and it shows. The videos and pictures she posts does not fully capture how much passion, love and excitement she pours into these fur babies. When you choose a pup, you won’t be getting a dog from her but gaining a new family member. 10/10 worth the wait! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

  • Erica M.

    Verified owner · Mar. 2026

    Andrea was very knowledgeable resourceful and provided lots of great information. She is an absolutely great breeder who cares a lot and knows what she’s doing! And she is very very open to reaching out and messaging quickly. I loved working with her to find the right dog!
