Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie / Labrador Retriever / Mixed. Hi… I’m Neely. I’m a 8.5-month-old Border Collie/Lab mix with a heart of gold. I’m still young, but I’m already starting to wonder why I’m still waiting. I know I'm not the best at meet and greets. I am a little shy when I meet new people and I guess they don't like that. I do try but I just like to get to know new people. I wish someone would give me a chance! I’m playful and curious about the world, and I try so hard to be a good girl. I’m doing well with potty training. I’m learning to sit — I’m not perfect yet, but I’m trying. I’m also getting better on the leash every day, because I really want to make someone proud. I’ve spent time with kids, even tiny ones, and I was gentle the whole time. No nibbling, no chaos — just kisses and quiet love. I like to follow my people around, staying close, just in case they need me… or in case they leave. Right now, I’m happy where I am — but what I really want is my own home. A place where I don’t have to wonder how long I’ll stay. A family who sees me before I grow up and get overlooked. They had a training class at the rescue and I did great. I made some new friends. I'm a friendly girl! I feel comfortabe with other dogs right away If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow who will love you endlessly and never stop trying, I’m right here. Waiting.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Borador, a delightful cross between the intelligent Border Collie and the friendly Labrador Retriever, is a relatively new designer breed gaining popularity. Originating from the desire to blend the best traits of both parents, Boradors typically inherit a medium build, often with the Labrador's strong frame and the Collie's agile grace. Their coat can vary widely in color and texture, from short and dense to medium-length and feathery, usually requiring moderate grooming. Temperamentally, they are known for being loyal, energetic, and highly trainable, making them excellent companions for active families. They thrive in environments where they receive plenty of physical and mental stimulation, making them less suitable for small apartment living unless daily exercise is guaranteed. While generally healthy, potential owners should be aware of predispositions to conditions seen in their parent breeds, such as hip and elbow dysplasia or certain eye conditions, underscoring the importance of responsible breeding practices.
