Beagle Versus Bordoodle: Introduction
Are you thinking of getting a new pet dog, and you have narrowed down your choices to the Beagle and the Bordoodle? Well, you have come to the right place. Because in this article, we will provide you with a detailed comparison of these two dog breeds to help you decide which of the Beagle and the Bordoodle better suits you.
We will provide you a detailed discussion and comparison of dog attributes such as intelligence, price, general health, friendliness, etc, for both the Beagle and the Bordoodle.
Furthermore, we will let you know which one of the Beagle and the Bordoodle is better suited for new dog owners, for owners with kids, for owners that live in apartments, for owners with dog allergies, etc.
Importantly, we did some analysis and calculation and we obtained a number that we call the Better-Pet Score™ for both the Beagle and for the Bordoodle. The dog breed with the higher Better-Pet score is the `better` pet. We hope that these Better-Pet Scores will provide you with more insight into deciding which pet to get between the Beagle and the Bordoodle.
Our only goal here is to help you make a well-thought-out decision on your next long-term companion, be it the Beagle or the Bordoodle.
Beagle versus Bordoodle: Overview
A very important difference between the Beagle and the Bordoodle is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Beagle is a small-sized dog while the Bordoodle is a medium-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Beagle belongs to the Hound Dogs group. Hound Dogs were bred to pursue and hunt warm-blooded animals. Hounds hunt by using their good sight or their good sense of smell. Dogs that belong to the Hound Group have strong prey drives and often will stop at nothing to catch what they are pursuing.
On the other hand, the Bordoodle belongs to the Mixed Breed Dogs group. Mixed Breed Dogs are not purebred dogs.
Beagle versus Bordoodle: Comparison Table
The table below compares the Beagle to the Bordoodle based on different important factors such as Price, Health, Kid-friendliness, etc.
When a dog breed scores higher for a factor than the other dog breed, the box of the breed that scores higher is shaded green and the box of the breed that scores lower is shaded red. When there is no difference between the breeds for a particular factor then the box is shaded gray for both pets. Also, when the factor is not important in picking a pet, or when the factor cannot be compared between two pets, the box for the factor is shaded gray for both pets
Most of the factors in the table for each dog breed are ranked on a scale of 1 to 5. “1” means “worst”, and “5” means “best”.
However, some factors such as “Price”, “Average Lifespan”, etc. cannot be on a scale of 1 to 5, so they are not on a scale of 1 to 5 in the comparison table.
Later in this article, we will further explain each factor as it applies to the Beagle and the Bordoodle
| Factor | Beagle | Bordoodle |
|---|---|---|
| Tolerates Being Alone | 1/5 | 3/5 |
| Does NOT Drool | 5/5 | 4/5 |
| General Health | 1/5 | 4/5 |

| Tendency NOT to Wander | 1/5 | 3/5 |
| Calmness/ Low Vigor | 1/5 | 4/5 |
| Potential For Playfulness | 5/5 | 4/5 |
| Average Lifespan | 12.5 years | 13.5 years |
| Average Price | $1210 | $1590 |
| Price Range | $700 – $1500 | $900 – $2150 |
| Common Health Problems and Recommended Health Tests | No Data |
Next, we added the scores of the factors that can be added together for the Beagle in the table (that is, `Ease of Grooming` score + `General Health` score + `Calmness` score + …etc) and we compared it to the corresponding total score for the Bordoodle. We call these total scores the Better-Pet Scores, as we mentioned earlier. We called this score the Better-Pet score because the better dog breed will have a higher score. This is because the pet will the higher score will have minimal needs and be easier to have as a pet.
The Better-Pet score for the Beagle is 71 out of 125 while the Better-Pet score for the Bordoodle is 92 out of 125.
Despite the higher Better-Pet score of the Bordoodle, we still believe that the Beagle is a better pet than the Bordoodle.
This is because Beagles are much cuter but you cannot put a score on cuteness. If you could put a score on cuteness, then the Beagle will come out on top.
Also, we are biased in favor of the Beagle :-). We are for the Beagle. So get a Beagle!

Note that a lot of factors determine how much you can expect to pay for the Beagle puppy or the Bordoodle puppy. This includes if health screening tests have been performed on the puppy, if the puppy is from a famous pedigree, the US State where the puppy is bred, etc.
