Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie (medium coat). There are so many wonderful things we can say about Bruno! He belonged to a senior man who kept him tied up, and of course, Bruno did not like that so continually made a great escape. Then he would go visit the neighborhood children—the highlight of his days! Without fail, the neighbors would take him back home and it would begin all over again. Finally the family realized their dad needed to give up Bruno so that Bruno could have a really nice life—and that’s how he ended up at the shelter. when a herding dog comes into the shelter we can tell that they are going to be frustrated if they are not placed quickly. So we contacted a couple fosters who love herding breeds, and they were willing to take in Bruno immediately. Yay for Bruno! He is now in a foster home with two toddlers, and his foster mom will get to know him very well. so far we know he is a people dog, Great with toddlers as well as older kids, and he is absolutely fine with other dogs. Good things to know! PLEASE NOTE: This pet has been posted by Friends of Campbell County Animal Control, Rustburg, VA. For questions about the pet, please email us at FOACinfogmail.

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).
