Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie (medium coat). Rue is an adult Border Collie who lives in Fenton, MO with her owners, and due to the presence of children in the home now, Rue's owners feel that she would do better in a home without small children, so they are seeking to re-home her. You can e-mail Rue's owners at theschopperfamilygmail for more information about Rue and the type of home they seek for her. Rue was obtained by her current owners when she was a puppy, from a breeder who appears to be no longer around or breeding. Rue is an intelligent dog whose habits make her easy to live with, except for the uneasiness she displays around small children. Rue has not been tested on cats, but her owners believe that given her strong herding/prey instincts, she should not live with either cats or small children. However, in all other respects Rue is a congenial companion and would likely do well with another dog in the home. Here is how Rue's owners describe her: "Rue is a beautiful Red Merle that loves other dogs and playing all day or going on long walks. , , She is also a cuddler when given the chance and wants nothing more than to please her owners. , , She is not good with children but other than that is wonderful." If you think Rue would be a great addition to your childless home, please contact her owners at the e-mail above.

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).
