Description
Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd / Border Collie / Mixed. Meet Benny! Looking for a brilliant best friend? This adorable Border Collie/Aussie mix is as smart as he is sweet! Weighing in at about 30 lbs, Benny is a focused learner who is already crate-trained, house-trained, and rides well in the car. He has mastered sit and shake, and is nearly there with the "stay" command, showing just how much he enjoys having a job to do. Benny thrives on mental stimulation, loves a game of fetch, and gets along well with other dogs. He is at his most relaxed while playing in a fenced backyard, where he is comfortable and unfazed by outside noises. While he is an affectionate companion who loves to follow his person everywhere, he is also a sensitive dog currently working with trainers to overcome a fear of moving vehicles and bicycles. Because he bonds so deeply, he needs a savvy owner who can provide the structure and positive reinforcement he needs to feel secure when others approach. In fact, if you're a bit of a homebody who prefers the company of a loyal dog over a crowd of people, you and Benny might be the perfect match! Benny is doing well with his muzzle training and consistent management, and he is working hard to be the best version of himself. He would thrive in a home with a fenced yard where he can run and play. His adoption includes two free training sessions with Clementine Dog Training to help set up a strong foundation. If you are looking for a smart, loyal companion and have the heart to help a sensitive dog shine, Benny is your boy! Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis. We strive to find the perfect home for each animal. Applications may take up to 48 hours to process. His adoption fee is $200. All CAWS animals are fixed, microchipped, and vaccinated.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Border-Aussie, a captivating hybrid of the Australian Shepherd and Border Collie, is a relatively new designer breed gaining popularity for its intelligence and athleticism. Originating from the desire to combine the best traits of its highly trainable parent breeds, the Border-Aussie typically exhibits a medium build with a striking, often bi- or tri-colored coat that can be rough or smooth. Temperamentally, they are incredibly intelligent, energetic, and possess a strong work drive, making them eager to learn and excel in various dog sports. While generally good-natured and loyal, their high energy levels and need for mental stimulation make them best suited for active families or individuals who can provide consistent training and plenty of exercise; they are generally not ideal for apartment living. Potential owners should also be aware of common health concerns inherited from their parent breeds, such as hip and elbow dysplasia, eye conditions (like Collie Eye Anomaly), and epilepsy.
