Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie (medium coat). Please contact stephodellbchotmail for more information about this pet. -+-*-✨ Hi there — I’m Maeve! ✨ I’m a 2-year-old Border Collie × Australian Cattle Dog mix with a big heart and just the right touch of sparkle. I’m spayed, healthy, and ready to find that special person who’ll love me as much as I’ll love them. ❤️ I spent several months in a shelter before coming to rescue, so crate training was a little tricky at first — but I’ve made excellent progress and am well on my way to being a pro! I’m also housetrained, ride nicely in the car, and don’t mind baths, blow dries, or nail trims. I adore other dogs and absolutely love my daycare days! I really shine when I have a canine playmate. I’m also fine with cats — I may give them a playful chase, but it’s all in fun and I stop to sniff once I catch up. At first, I can be a little cautious with new people — I like to take my time getting to know you — but once you’re part of my circle, you’ll have my whole heart. Loyalty runs deep with me. I even graduated from a basic obedience class and continue to work on my good manners every day. If you’re patient, kind, and looking for a loyal companion who’ll bring warmth, joy, and a touch of sparkle to every day, I think we might be a perfect match.

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).
