Description
Posted Breed: Border Collie. Age: 1 year Sex: Neutered Male Estimated Breed: Border Collie Mix Weight: 38 lbs Good with dogs?: Yes Good with cats?: Unknown Good with children?: Yes, older only Special/Medical Needs: Energy Level: Medium Adoption Fee: $650 Foster Home Location: Cochrane, AB Cartman is a very sweet shy boy. He's truly coming out of his shell. He loves all dogs big and small. He is still afraid of children (mine are 10 and up). He wouldn't do well with young children as he doesn't like unpredictable movements at this time. He is fully house trained and has been respectful of the house. He likes to play with toys and is learning how to play with the other dogs. He enjoys running around in the yard though he is too afraid to go out without his human at this point. He's good in the tub and likes to be brushed. He is still head shy though does allow me to pet him now.

Overview:
The Border Collie is a highly intelligent and energetic herding dog, originating from the Anglo-Scottish border region where they were bred for their exceptional sheep-gathering abilities. Physically, they are medium-sized dogs with an athletic build, typically weighing between 30-55 pounds, and feature a double coat that can be rough or smooth, appearing in a wide variety of colors, though black and white is most common. Their alert, intense gaze is a hallmark of the breed. Temperamentally, Border Collies are renowned for their incredible trainability, eagerness to please, and boundless energy, making them excellent candidates for dog sports like agility and obedience. However, this high drive means they require significant mental and physical stimulation; without proper outlets, they can become bored and destructive. While loyal and affectionate with their families, their herding instincts can sometimes translate to nipping at children or other pets if not managed, making them generally better suited for experienced owners who can dedicate time to their training and exercise needs. They are definitely not suited for apartment living and thrive in homes with large, secure yards and active lifestyles. Health-wise, they are generally robust, but can be prone to certain genetic conditions such as Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA), hip and elbow dysplasia, and Trapped Neutrophil Syndrome (TNS).
