Collie versus Saint Berdoodle: Overview
A very important difference between the Collie and the Saint Berdoodle is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Collie is a medium-sized dog while the Saint Berdoodle is a large-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Collie belongs to the Herding Dogs group. Herding Dogs were bred for moving livestock, including sheep, cattle, and even reindeer. Herding dogs work closely with their human shepherds, and their natural intelligence and responsiveness make them highly trainable. They have high levels of energy, which needs to be channeled properly to prevent destructive behavior. Herding breeds are protective of their people and property and make excellent watchdogs. Their intelligence, agility, and activity level make them well suited to dog sports.
On the other hand, the Saint Berdoodle belongs to the Mixed Breed Dogs group. Mixed Breed Dogs are not purebred dogs.
