Bordoodles are known for their wide variety of colors, shapes, sizes, and even coats. But their appearance can range quite a bit compared to other breeds. Below we will go over some of the standards of what you can expect a Bordoodle to look like.

Bordoodles, being a cross between a Border Collie and a Poodle, can inherit the low-shedding, curly coat of the Poodle. Here's a general idea of what to expect for grooming and maintenance:

# Brushing

- Regular brushing (at least 2-3 times a week) is necessary to prevent matting and tangling.

- Use a slicker brush, pin brush, or a detangling brush depending on the dog's coat type.

# Bathing

- Bordoodles typically require bathing every 4-6 weeks.

- Use a mild dog shampoo and conditioner.

# Trimming

- Depending on the dog's coat type, they may require regular trimming to prevent overgrowth.

- Trimming can be done every 6-8 weeks.

# Nail Care

- Trim the dog's nails every 4-6 weeks to prevent overgrowth.

# Ear Care

- Clean the dog's ears weekly to prevent wax buildup and infections.

# Dental Care

- Brush the dog's teeth daily to prevent tartar buildup and promote good oral health.

# Shedding

- Bordoodles are considered low shedders, but they still shed some.

- Regular brushing can help reduce shedding.

# Professional Grooming

- Depending on the dog's coat type and the owner's preferences, professional grooming may be necessary every 6-8 weeks.

Keep in mind that every dog is different, and grooming needs may vary depending on the individual dog's coat type, lifestyle, and health.
