Bordernese

Escape artist so fence yard a must. Very smart.

most lovable and affectionate animal I've ever owned. feelings get hurt easily. Most attentive to females.

Because she has arthritis in her 2 back legs, she is quite handicapped. She does want to go for her daily walk with our 3 yr. old golden retriever.Everyone loves her and she is very friendly with everyone she meets. She leans against people and they pet her.I plan to get another Bordenese when she leaves us as they are so good natured and easy to train.

We adopted Bailey 2 months ago, and she has settled well with our older blue heeler, lily who is 10. Lily is not a cuddler but Bailey is which is fantastic! Sweetheart who wants constant touching, walks very well with lily and I now have two intelligent protectors!

Fun and loving. Easy to train and gogood compabcompany

She was a rescue that had heart worms and had also had a collar imbedded into her neck. She was probably left by herself b cause she was scared of everything. She didn't know how to leash walk and I guess she just ate when they threw something to her. She has had such a wonderful transformation and is turning into an awesome dog with training. Every once in a while she reverts back to hers kiddish self but I am continuing to work with her.

He is wonderful. Up for anything.

We are in the process of adopting a 3 year old male. Don't know anything about the breed so this site has been very helpful. We had a golden retriever (lost to cancer) and a sheltie (old age) that we lost within the last 1.5 yrs and can't wait to bring another fur baby into the house. I think this breed with work for us.

She is very sweet but not calm at all...needs to be in your face at all times..preferably wrapped around my neck. She was super skittish as a puppy but is way more sociable now..super sweet when she is being quiet and calm. She is also still a puppy so hopefully the need to be in ones face all of the time will change as she gets a little older..We are definately in love though..<3

Quickly house broken but still gets too excited when guests first arrive. It takes time for her to settle down and be the good dog she often is!

My Boxer and Corgi Lab mix were far easier to housebreak. He is just a fun loving fuzzy lil guy at 3 mmonths. He loves his big brother boxer Ali, 5yr old. Ted is a good puppy but tears up pillows frequently.

she is anwsome dog . loyal ,friendly and a good sheep dog .

This guy just showed up at our property. Ran away from a cattle ranch down the road, so they let me keep him. He is super affectionate and eager. Melts into pettings and wants to snuggle. Is curious and attentive. Its hard to believe how lucky I am to have this guy show up in my life! After my flat-coated retriver Duvessa passed in the spring, I wasn't sure I was ready for another dog. He really just has made himself at home tho. Even gets along with my friends rat terrier, who doesn't like ANY dogs. Shows how gentle this breed is.

Picked up as stray. Weight 60 lbs, skinny. Two types intestinal worms and heart worms. Now 78 lbs, all infestations gone. Successful heartworm tx. Beautiful, friendly. Acts like a ungainly teen. Loves everybody.

she is lovely and very excitable, playful

By the time Daisy was 10 weeks old, we were the 4th owners for her. This caused her much separation anxiety throughout the years but we have been blessed with the best dog in the world. The first 3 owners in her early stage, made a big mistake getting rid of this fantastic girl. Big....huge mistake.

The most mellow and well-behaved dog. Very loyal and a lot of love to give.

We rescued him and they told us he was 3, 25lbs and great with cats.....he was more like 1.5-2 yrs, chased cats, and was about 65 lbs...needless to say he is the sweetest boy, afraid of thunderstorms which is when the cats are his best thunder buddies and wouldn’t trade him for the world!

We got Poe after loosing our black lab, still had a yellow lab. This dog is loving, crazy, ball crazy, loves his sister. We have found these guys crave affection and want to be with you at all times. They are very smart, easily trained, learn quickly, mind very well. I would have to say they are the most entertaining dogs we have ever had, they make us laugh constantly.

I gave Pearl to my husband for Christmas when she was an 8 week old puppy. He cried when he opened the box. I trained Pearl because I’m more consistent than my husband but once she was trained, he kept up with the command words and outcome expectations. She knows many tricks. She responds extremely well to treat training and learns very quickly. She is very loyal and loves to be with us. She never runs away and if she goes exploring in an off leash area, she returns when my husband claps his hands. These dogs do not like being hot. Pearl enjoys being outside and has 3 acres surrounded with invisible fencing. She stays within her boundaries even without her collar on (no beeping, no shocks). She has a bed just inside out deck door. She likes to come in to spend time close to us in the evening but stays on her bed. She lets us know it’s her bedtime when she stands up. She prefers to sleep in the garage where it is cool. She has a raised sling bed with a traditional dog bed on top of it. This keeps her up off the cold concrete floor and minimizes pressure on her hips and other joints. The garage is kept slightly heated during winter (5C-10C). There is a pet door which allows Pearl the freedom to go in or out at her pleasure. If she wants to come into the house with us, she waits at the deck door and gives a little whine. If we don’t hear her, she will give 1 short “arf”. She rarely barks even when people drive onto our property. She doesn’t lick or jump up on people. She doesn’t chase or jump up on vehicles. She LOVES going in the vehicle with my husband and she really enjoys meeting people. Her coat is very healthy and does not require much brushing. She goes for grooming 2-3 times a year. She eats a raw diet of cubes of ground mixed meats which she prefers to eat frozen, straight out of the freezer once a day. She never gets into garbage in the garage. Her treats are kept in a low, open, plastic container on a table in the garage. Pearl could easily stick her nose in and start chowing but she never has. She loves getting a hand fed treat rewards and takes them very gently. Pearl does not like mice, birds, squirrels, cats, rabbits, deer, moose, coyotes, or other dogs on our property and stays busy chasing them away. Pearl is very ball motivated and will play fetch with a ball or stick with any one until they are too worn out to throw again. Read more at: https://wagwalking.com/breed/bordernese
