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.
