Border Water Dog

The Border Water Dog is an intensely bright, athletic, and people-focused hybrid with the Border Collie’s laser-sharp work ethic and the Portuguese Water Dog’s affectionate, social nature. Expect a dog that learns quickly, thrives on activity and mental challenges, and bonds closely with its family while keeping a watchful eye on everything around it. Its coat is usually low-to-moderate shedding but needs regular grooming to prevent tangles, especially if the wavy texture leans curlier.
