Description
Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Border Collie / Mixed. This 7 year old Lab mix is 56lbs of pure sweetness with a side of sass. She’s spayed, up to date on vaccines, and ready to move in. She loves people, lives for attention, and believes car rides are a basic human (and dog) right. Treats are her love language and yes, her hydrolyzed treats still earn full tail wag approval. She’s got a few mysterious allergies that are still under investigation. Luckily, hydrolyzed treats work like a charm, so she can keep enjoying training, snacks, and all the good stuff without any drama. She’s kennel trained and knows her crate is her VIP lounge, especially at mealtime. She prefers to dine without other pets staring at her plate, which is easily handled by feeding her in her kennel (honestly, same). She’s a professional cuddler, enthusiastic toy collector, and currently on a gentle “summer bod” journey with her fosters helping her lose a little extra fluff. She can do well with other dogs, but she likes her introductions slow and polite. Meeting new dogs on a calm walk outside is her ideal setup. Surprise indoor meet and greets or rushed hellos can be overwhelming, so a little structure goes a long way in setting her up for success. She does live with a cat right now, but for everyone’s sanity, a cat free home may be her best match. On walks, she’s a dream in a harness and struts like she knows she’s cute. Walking on a collar still needs some polishing, but she’s trying her best. If you’re looking for a funny, loving, people obsessed dog who will ride shotgun and steal your heart she’s your girl!

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.
