The following 2 girls are up for adoption. We fostered a Border Collie x Standard poodle litter at 6 weeks of age and the DOB is approximately 14 Feb 2025. We know nothing about the parents health or temperament, except that the mom was the standard poodle and the sire was the border collie. Of the 6 puppies, we have these two girls left. They are crate trained, vaccinated, and microchipped. They get a long with other dogs well. They have not been around cats. My 2 year old granddaughter drug them around in her arms when they were younger. They have more of a border collie personality. Shadow is the “cryptic” marked girl. She can be skeptical of strangers, more so than her littermate, Ash. Ash is missing her 2nd toe on the left front foot. We have had her vet checked, and it does not cause her pain, but of course she is still learning to walk with it, and she limps at times. Both girls are very mouthy and we are working with them to not put their mouth on people. They don’t bite, but think they should have their mouth wrapped around some part of your body when they greet you. Small adoption fee required, and you can return them if they are not a good fit in your home. I will also pay $100 to the vet of your choice toward their spay, when they reach 6 months of age. I live in Kempner, a mile from Bell and Coryell County. Send me a message and you can come visit the girls.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Border Collie Puppies
About Border Collie Puppies
What's the personality of a Border Collie?
Border Collies are one of the smartest and most focused breeds around. These sweet dogs are happiest when they have an activity to do or job to work on, whether it’s playing fetch, digging a hole, or keeping an eye on you. Full-grown, they typically weigh 30-55 pounds and stand 18-22 inches tall.
Do Border Collies get along with kids?
Border Collies are generally okay with older children who know how to handle dogs. The Border Collie gets along well with other pets and children, but it may try to dominate dogs of the same sex. They should be socialized as puppies with small, non-canine pets so they can overcome their natural prey instincts. They're fairly vocal dogs that bark regularly.
Are Border Collies couch potatoes or do they need a lot of exercise?
Border Collies need high-energy owners to satisfy their appetite for exercise and activity. If they get bored or restless, they’re known to act out. The best way to keep Border Collies active is to give them work to do, whether it’s an exercise like running or a game like Frisbee. Overall, their exercise needs are very high.
What should I expect with Border Collie shedding?
Border Collies have thick, shiny undercoats and colorful outer coats that come in several colors, including solid, bicolor, tricolor, merle (lighter coat with speckled patches), or sable (light undercoat with black-tipped hairs). These dogs are average shedders that don’t need much grooming. Brush them once or twice a week to keep their coats clean, and only bathe them when needed. Grooming-wise, this breed is moderate.
How much space does a Border Collie need?
Border Collies are best suited for a home with a yard, though they can adapt to apartment life with enough exercise. They’re adaptable to just about any living setting, so as long as they get enough exercise and attention, they will be happy spending time indoors, outdoors, in warm climates, or cooler places. They are highly trainable and eager to learn.

About Poodle - Standard Puppies
Are Standard Poodles a good breed to own?
France has been officially recognized as the Poodle’s country of origin, but the Poodle’s earlier ancestors came from central Asia. The German variety has probably influenced the modern breed most (‘Poodle’ is German for ‘splash’ or ‘puddle’). In 18th and 19th century Europe, the Poodle served a wide variety of purposes, including duck hunting, guiding, and later circus performing, from whence the modern grooming style likely arose. The Poodle became a popular pet for the French aristocracy, and in time was officially adopted as the national dog. Poodles were imported to America in the 20th century. They slowly rose in popularity and eventually became the country’s most popular dog. Famous Poodles include author John Steinbeck’s dog Charley, subject of the book ‘Travels with Charley: In Search of America’, and Weird Al’s Poodle Bela, who…uhm… sat on his head for the album cover of ‘Poodle Hat.’ Full-grown, they typically weigh 12-55 pounds and stand 10-15 inches tall.
