Another thing you need to know before adopting a Borador pup is what to expect from them in terms of behavior. So, are Lab Border Collie Mixes good dogs? Here’s what you should expect…
Personality
One thing you’ll quickly notice is that Boradors are very smart. Their intelligence comes from the Border Collie side of the family.
Border Collie Lab Mixes are also very playful and friendly, which is something they get from their Lab parent. Their high intelligence and eager to please nature makes Boradors very easy to train.
Very Social
Boradors are a very social dog breed. They love being part of family activities, whether that is running around at the park or snuggling on the couch.
Boradors are not aggressive, and will get along well with both kids and other pets. Their outgoing nature also makes them very friendly to strangers, which makes them suitable as companion dogs, rather than guard dogs.
Attention Loving
Border Collie Lab Mixes love being with their family at all times and being the center of attention. This means that they are not going to take it well if you leave them alone, and will often develop separation anxiety.
Therefore, these pooches are not suitable for people who are rarely home.
High Energy Levels
Due to the working dog origins of the Border Collie and the Lab, Boradors have lots of energy. Therefore, you should be ready to give your four legged friend lots of exercise, such as taking them for long walks, swimming, and playing fetch.
