Selection and PRICING
Character, not looks, should be your priority!
So why bother to breed unusual colours?
Because these colours exist and we have special boys and girls which already carry these colours.
We also strongly believe everyone should have the choice, just like you can choose to have an unusual colour on your brand new car, though for extra cost, but the aesthetics do not make that car drive or last longer.
Bordoodle Colour is just that, it is something perceived as special but usually only in the eye of the beholder and is personal and most probably a financial choice.
SELECTION PROCESS:
We know from considerable experience of 30 years breeding dogs, how important successful matching of puppies characters is to human individuals and families needs and experience, so we ensure that you have the best bordoodle dog possible for your own character and lifestyle.
Some aspects of a puppy’s temperament can be changed through training, development and socialisation experiences but other traits are stabilised well before a puppy goes to its first home.
Puppies should be matched to homes that either want or can manage its stable traits.

Price Structure
Everyone wants the GOLD STANDARD
Believe me - that Golden Bordoodle option is Supreme. Prices as at 1st April 2022
GOLD STANDARD PUPPY
£2 000.00
Our most popular pricing option allows you to take advantage of our extensive experience of matching puppies to their new families. After you’ve completed your application and been accepted as one of our special owners, we will use the details you provide to match you with your perfect puppy.
We have matched countless families with their perfect puppy, you can read about some of them here
Our Gold Standard price also includes complimentary access to our extensive training course (RRP £499.00)
SILVER STANDARD PUPPY
£2 250.00
If you still want to take advantage of our puppy matching expertise, but there are particular puppies you’d definitely like us to consider,
our Silver Standard option is for you.
Decide on your shortlist of three Border Colloodle puppies of any colour or gender, and we’ll use our knowledge of their character and temperament to match you with the most suitable puppy of the three.
Our Silver Standard price also includes complimentary access to our extensive training course (RRP £499.00)
BRONZE STANDARD PUPPY
Our Bronze Standard gives you the choice to further specify the appearance or gender of your puppy
We will still use our expertise to match you with a puppy from an agreed list of three, but with this option you can specify their colour or gender.
You can choose to stipulate both colour and gender, but please note in that case, both fees will apply.
Our Bronze Standard price also includes half price lifetime access to our extensive training course (RRP £499.00).
Choose a common-coloured puppy £2,250.00 +£250.00
● Black
● Black and white
● Black, tan and white
● Brown
● Brown and white
● Brown, tan and white
Choose any rare coloured puppy £2,250.00 +£400.00
● All variations of non dilute merle
● Mainly white
● Sable
● Blue or lilac (dilute)
Male or female stipulation £2,250.00 +£250.00
Please note that if your gender preferences aren’t backed by absolute need, you reduce the chance of finding your perfect puppy character by 50%.
As an example, choosing a female because a Male marks his scent, or a female places burnt patches on the lawn, is not a valid reason, since all dogs can be trained to “go” in specific places.
Whereas, if you already have un-spayed females who you are intending to breed from, it may be more prudent to introduce another female (unless you will neuter the male before maturity, though this is not recommended for the health of the dog).
After your puppy is neutered or spayed, most hormonal-based characteristics decrease, so ultimately, there will be very little difference between genders.
ADDITIONAL CHOICES PUPPY
First and Second Pick and everything else
While we have great success matching puppies to their new owners, we also recognise that some people still want to choose their new border colloodle puppy entirely on their own terms.
We want to give you that choice, but please note that it does come at an additional cost.
While we will still recommend which puppy, we would match you with, you’re also free to choose a different puppy without our involvement.
This is subject to your acceptance as an Owner of any character type of puppy.
Our Additional choices also includes half price access to our extensive training course (RRP £499.00).
FIRST PICK OF LITTER Cost: £3,750.00
Often, there is one puppy that is a popular choice for all applicants.
Reserving this puppy disrupts our puppy matching process for other applicants considerably.
For that reason and others already mentioned, we don’t recommend this selection, but it is an option than many consider essential.
Please be aware this does come at an extra cost.
The timing of your request & DEPOSIT will dictate whether we can offer you the first or second pick of the litter.
This PICK choice is only available when puppy matching for all new owners has not yet started.
SECOND PICK OF LITTER Cost: £3,500.00
As with the first pick of the litter, the second pick of the litter is also a popular puppy that most applicants will put on their list of preferred puppies.
If you would like to reserve the second pick of the litter, this again comes with an extra cost that reflects the disruption to our puppy matching process.
The timing of your request will dictate whether we can offer you the first or second pick of the litter.
This PICK choice is only available when puppy matching for all new owners has not yet started.
ADDITIONAL CHOICES cont.
Additional choices - Colour/Gender preferences
If you are certain, you would like a puppy of a particular colour, and do not want to take advantage of our Gold, Silver or Bronze Standard puppy matching service, we offer this option at an additional cost.
Bear in mind that choosing your new puppy based on their colour and/or gender alone doesn’t consider whether the character of the puppy will match your lifestyle.
However, we want to give you that choice, but please note that it does come at an additional cost as this choice totally interrupts our matching process.
While we will still recommend which border collie x Poodle puppy, we would match you with, you’re also free to choose a different puppy without our involvement.
This is subject to your acceptance as an Owner of any character type of puppy.
This PICK choice is only available when puppy matching for all new owners has not yet started.
Choose a common-coloured puppy £2,250.00 +£500.00

Choose any rare coloured puppy £2,250.00 +£750.00
● All variations of non dilute merle

Additional Male or female stipulation £2,250.00 +£250.00
Please note that if your gender preferences aren’t backed by absolute need, you reduce the chance of finding your perfect puppy character by 50%.
As an example, choosing a female because a Male marks his scent, or a female places burnt patches on the lawn, is not a valid reason, since all dogs can be trained to “go” in specific places.

ADDITIONAL CHOICES cont.2
Very Rare colours and Breeding Rights
Dilute & Dilute Merle variations of above colours
£4,000.00
You reduce your chances of selecting the right puppy character by 95%
Merle is relatively rare in the Border collie and almost unheard of in the Poodle - it is not an easy colour to breed as one parent must be merle to produce the colour.
There is a 50% chance of producing a merle puppy (like having males or females born) so you may get a whole litter of merle or NONE or anything in between.
Dilute is VERY RARE in the Poodle so this is almost an impossible colour combination to produce.
Breeding Rights FEE
£3,000.00
The puppy is sold as a PET ONLY and is not sold with the rights to breed.
We do not believe there is any justification to breed these first cross dogs.
This is covered in our contract.
We may grant breeding rights upon request and payment of additional fees, so if you wish to breed you must declare this and pay the additional FEE.
If you breed with your dog without paying this fee, and we find out, we will pursue this matter in the courts to a minimum £10 000 value.
How Does this work?
How our selection process works
If you’d like to know more about how we match you with your new puppy, we’ve outlined our process below.
Once you have placed your deposit and regardless of what option you select, the first thing we’ll ask for is an emailed list of three puppies you would like from each current available litter.
Please choose your puppies in order of preference.
We also need to know which puppies you would not be willing to consider in any circumstances.
It’s essential that we know why too, so if you wouldn’t want a merle puppy, or one with blue eyes, then we will avoid those traits when we match you with your new puppy.
We live with our puppies 24/7 so have a deep understanding of their character and behaviour.
This helps us match them to your requirements as closely as possible.
Priority matching is given as follows:
- Families who require a Service Support dog. Including disabilities, not limited to deafness, wheelchair users, and emotional needs. This requires a dog who is very attentive, quick to learn, and problem solve, clever and empathetic.
- Families who require a Search and Rescue dog. This requires a dog with a great nose, who is attentive, people oriented, and a problem solver.
- Families with very young children or children with special needs. This requires a quieter, calmer puppy with less prey/chase drive. Preferably with an "off switch"!
- Families who intend to do high level competitive sports. This includes performance dog sports like agility, heel work to music, and trick training. Each handler (especially experienced ones) will have slightly different requirements, so matching is done by watching things like prey drive, motivation for treat training, and seeing if a puppy is bold, athletic and fast.
- Older, less active families. Requires a slightly lazy puppy with a lower prey drive, a cuddly nature, and an “off switch”.
- All other families.
The good news is that most puppies will be highly suited to almost all families. When matching puppies to their new families, our main goal is to make sure that puppies with specific characteristics like a high prey-drive don’t get placed into a less active home where you may struggle to meet that puppy’s needs.
For example: placing a high drive pup in a less active home where they struggle to fulfil the needs of the puppy. Or place a lazy low motivation pup into a highly competitive sports home.
Puppy Contract and guidance
Puppy Information
What do we provide and do? Key points .........................................
- We are a Shropshire Council Licensed Breeder no: 22/00070/AIAL
- Puppies are born and reared inside my busy house.
- We provide regular photo's and video of the puppies with and without the mother, from birth growing up, trying to highlight different aspects of their education and growth.
- They are dewormed every 2 weeks from 2 to 3 weeks of age.
- At 2 weeks of age we introduce the litter tray to encourage the start of house training as they start to naturally move away from the bed to "go".
- We introduce toys, new smells, additional handling, surfaces to increase their brain growth and stress control features.
- Depending on the size of the litter, from 3 - 4 weeks of age they are started on a high quality Human Grade, raw diet of mince from various species (lamb, beef, turkey, chicken, tripe etc) and Lidl’s full fat yogurt,
- At between 5 to 6 weeks old they are given smashed up RAW chicken carcasses to simulate what the mother would naturally do by chewing, swallowing and then regurgitating food for her pups,
- at about 6 weeks, we also offer a 60 to 80% meat dry food/kibble (we don’t like this, but we know some folks don’t like the idea of feeding a natural product like raw meaty bones).
- At 4 weeks they are introduced to different environments like outdoors when the weather permits, kitchen etc. and start to spend more and more time outdoors during the day.
- At around 6 weeks they are moved to the conservatory to give them more space to play and the opportunity to learn to go outside when needing the toilet.
- They are microchipped,
- The pups are vet checked for heart function and general health and defects at 8 weeks just before you collect them.
- They come with a pedigree of each parent.
- 4 weeks free insurance,
- First Vaccinations
- sufficient food to last four days,
- and something that smells of Mum and siblings.
- Very Extensive Puppy Instructions Manual including links to training website and videos.

We have a lifetime commitment to our puppies and will always, provide you with FREE, full after sales email advice and support.
However, you must inform us if there are any health or training issues with your puppy.
We cannot help or improve if you keep us in the dark.
Also our puppies MUST be returned to us, if you can no longer keep them, as we like to know where our puppies are!
Please note that we cannot guarantee if this pup will by Hypoallergenic (not trigger allergy reactions).
But we are happy to take the puppy back if you are purchasing it because of the potential to be hypoallergenic and it still triggers allergic reactions In this instance alone, the full purchase price refund will be given, if you return the dog in good mental and physical health within 14 days. (see the puppy contract for more details on this).

ACCEPTED as an OWNER?
Place your deposit NOW
£200.00
Please do NOT place a deposit until you have received
the written go-ahead from me, that your application for a Border Colloodle has been accepted.
The non-refundable deposit will guarantee (subject to T&C) you a suitable puppy, based on character, from the next available litter or can be transferred to any of our litters (within one year) at the price structure set out in the table above
This is a non-refundable deposit but if for some reason there is not a suitable puppy available, then we are very happy to transfer the deposit to the next litter, or if for some reason, we, the breeder, are unable to breed and offer you a puppy from a litter of suitable puppies within one calendar year, we will return your deposit, unless WE BOTH otherwise agree in writing.
Placing a deposit basically guarantee's:-
- at least one suitable puppy by character, is available for you, from an agreed litter.
- That we will produce a puppy of suitable character for you within a 12 month period, (from the time the deposit is placed)
- The deposit is also """subject to the 8 week old puppies character being suited to your level of canine experience and lifestyle requirements.""""
This means, that when, I, as the Breeder, finally meets you face to face, I also have the right to say:-
"SORRY, I believe that you are not suited to having one of my puppies"
in which case I will gladly refund the deposit in full.
- The deposit is taken for many reasons,
- to ensure you are committed to your new addition,
- to ensure you will not waste our time,
- to cover re-advertising and other costs if you do not take a puppy.
But most important of all, our deposit and waiting list, help us base future mating decisions and resulting litters on orders placed with us well in advance.
We bring these babies into the world based on prospective orders and enquirers.
Help us to plan so we can produce the best possible puppies for your family.
If you have already placed your deposit before visiting us, and on your visit, you are genuinely not happy with the welfare of our animals, we will gladly refund your deposit, provided you email us your concerns, stating clearly what you are unhappy with.
We ask for this request in writing as we strive to do the best for our dogs and will therefore take constructive criticism to heart, and where possible, using appropriate advice from qualified professionals, we will use this to continue to improve and adapt our program accordingly.
If you do not visit us by the time the pup is 8 weeks old, your deposit is forfeit, unless mutually agreed or changed by the breeder in writing. (3 hours "google maps" drive or more away exemption confirmed in writing).
The pup will then be offered to the next suitable person.
We trust that everything is crystal clear and we are all well prepared and look forward to your family joining our extended canine family.
Should you have any questions please feel free to ask us.
