Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie (medium coat). Please contact stephodellbchotmail for more information about this pet. Handsome Nimbus!!! Sweet adorable Nimbus just started an obedience class and he's loving it!!! This handsome pup is very friendly and outgoing! He LOVES toys, treats and all the people and dogs he has met so far. He loves the agility tunnel and A-frame. He is pretty fearless of the obstables at this time. He will make a nice perfomance prospect in obedience, agility and possibly herding. The pups and their mom, Luna, were surrendered by their owner. We are told that dad is a registered Border Collie but we have no proof. Luna and her pups were very well taken care of but the owners felt it would be best for Come Bye to take them. Luna and her pups are being fostered in Plymouth, IN. Please contact stephodellbchotmail if you have any questions about Nimbus. You can complete an application to adopt Nimbus or any of the dogs on our website at ebyebcrescue . *** The potential adoptor will get a refund on the Application Fee if it’s determined by the Foster Parent that it’s not a good match for the dog and the dog for them, if we do not process their application.

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).
