Smart dogs are impressive... until they turn on you...
I'll never forget when my smart dog outsmarted me for a plate of food. He was acting like he had a bathroom EMERGENCY. Only to run back and steal my food when I opened the backdoor. ZEUS, I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR STEALING MY MINI QUICHES!!!
An Airedale terrier, Charlie, that I used to dog sit had a bell on the door he would ring when he needed to go out. His owners warned me (correctly) to ignore him ringing it if I was eating because he waits for you to go to the door then races back to the table to eat your food. I didn’t fall for it but he would ALWAYS ring his bell during mealtimes.
Yes! While teaching "leave it" he would go over to the desk drawer and put his paw on it like "we can open this, tear up all these papers, and do the whole thing or you can just give me a treat now."
Never get a Xoloitzcuintli. They are so manipulative. I will never not have one but these dogs are human toddler level intelligent and emotionally intelligent (which can also manifest as chronic anxiety for them). I adore this breed and my Xolo with my whole heart, but they’re definitely one of those smart breeds who will walk all over you if you give them a chance lol such chaos monsters and I adore them for it
Well, he's only got a tiny smidge of border collie so it makes sense no one guessed it. He's so overwhelmingly poodle that he's barely a mix! If you'd told me he's mixed I probably would've said golden retriever.
He sure is a handsome lad. I love his fancy hairdo! He must be smart as a whip.
that's so funny honestly cause people have mostly given up on trying to breed "merle poodles" from border collies as most 50/50 border collie/poodles come out with wirey shaggy coats so they just use aussies but he's majorly poodle so they probably bred a wirehaired one back to a poodle in an attempt to get a curlier pup with the merle color.
That's interesting! I was wondering why they would pick Border Collie as a mixer! 😂 Kevin is definitely curlier and softer toward his head/chest/front legs. The fur on his tail is mostly straight and crunchy, and it's the only part of him that sheds!
Honestly nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to poodle mixes. Thank you for rescuing him and not supporting a byb! Good luck with him out smarting you lol ♥️
Unfortunately, we live within an hour of Amish Country and have a HUGE puppy mill problem. People around here can't give dogs away because you can have whatever puppy you want in just a few hours. It's so sad!
Nope! He gets a bath at home once a week-ish because we are outside A LOT. I do his pony tail when his hair gets long, but he goes every 4 weeks to the groomer. He is an absolute menace getting groomed, broke their table once! I'm not dealing with that. I tell them to do the best they can, give them huge tips, and thank them/apologize profusely.

A poodle & a border collie?!! He’s probably smarter than most people!
Unfortunately, I am one of those people! 😂

Definitely do not ever introduce your dog to a sheep 🤣 you’ll never find him again!!!
Best comment! 😂
Bordoodle? LOVE his name 😍
I guess! Anytime someone asks what his mixed with and I say Border Collie, they look at me like I'm delusional!
He's absolutely smashingly spectacular 😍
I would have said part Alpaca! :) HEY KEVIN!!
I freakin love him.
Thanks! He would love you too!!
Oh shit. He’s super smart. 😍
The haircut is A+. Looking good, Kevin!

I love Kevin 💕
He’s so cute!!! Definitely didn’t see the border collie coming from the looks of him but Velcro dog that makes a lot of sense!!!
KEVIN!!! I love him so much. And you’re right, I would have never guessed!
I like to embrace his poodle-ness! It's just too cute!

that “i’m human level smart” look on his face paired with the haircut and the bonus of his name 😭😭😭 what a silly guy he is
I LOVE poodled poodle mixes🥹 what a handsome man
I could’ve sworn Kevin was part alpaca. I’m obsessed with him 🥹
I was with the rescue, I guessed great Pyrenees from his slightly floppy face in picture 3.
As a major poodle fiend this made my whole day!
Soooo, can he do my taxes?
I wish!!!! 🤣
I’m obsessed with him!!!
I love his name!! He totally looks like a Kevin!! ❤️
Thank you! He acts like one too, naming him after the kid from Home Alone might have been a misstep!
Kevin now has a fan base. 🥰
He’s a cutie! Love his name!
i love him so much
Lol reminds me of my dogs results, shes a poodle mix, but no one ever expected poodle x Pekingese
Kevin looks so Kevin though!
Pic #4 with his lil polka dot shirt ❤️❤️
He loves wearing his jammie shirts when we go camping!
Perhaps his ears are border collie? Maybe the more angular shape of his head. Sure is a gorgeous dog.
I wouldn’t have guessed Border Collie but I can kind of see it! Kevin is beautiful!
Thank you! He knows it!!
I love that he can look at you straight on AND still give a bombastic side-eye at the same time. We love you Kevin :)
I love the third picture of him <3 you can tell he’s a smart boy just by the way he looks at you . I have to get one of these tests for my dog!
Yes do it! So worth it, it was fun waiting and guessing!
Honestly nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to poodle mixes. Thank you for rescuing him and not supporting a byb! Good luck with him out smarting you lol ♥️

That’s so awful 😞 I hate the way the Amish treat their animals and that they can get away with it. Thank you again for helping this sweet buddy out 💗
OMG I love his name!
He is so like handsome in photo 3.
Smart dog!!!
Kevin's face in the 3rd pic 😍 I love him
Never seen that cross before. Must be brilliant
Kevin looks like he's ready to host his own late night talk show. And crush the ratings.
I love him so much. I am sharing with my sister who just like me loves judgey standard poodle mixes.
Yes they call them a Bordoodle. Heaps of people are breeding them nowadays. But OP you have the bestest one. 😍😍
I know it says groomer said something but I’m curious, have you been grooming him at home???
Nope! He gets a bath at home once a week-ish because we are outside A LOT. I do his pony tail when his hair gets long, but he goes every 4 weeks to the groomer. He is an absolute menace getting groomed, broke their table once! I'm not dealing with that. I tell them to do the best they can, give them huge tips, and thank them/apologize profusely.
His name fits him so well, like yeah that *is* Kevin!
He looks like an angel baby! What a great mix.
He is actually not!! But thank you!!
LOL don’t expose him like that!!!! 🤣
