Description
Dog Breed: Collie (long coat). Skye is a classically beautiful sable collie. She is a happy and lively 18 months old, extremely well-behaved indoors and used to being adored - because she is adorable! Skye was surrendered due to an unexpected death in her family, and is a little confused about her sudden change in circumstances, but she is cheerful and loving in her foster home. She is happily playing with the other dogs in the family and with neighbor dogs, and is building her stamina on long woods hikes. Skye is a cuddler and fully expects to sleep in the bed with her human family and snuggle on the sofa during TV time. She loves to eat - except fruit, nope, won't have anything to do with apples or bananas - and definitely wants a bite of whatever you're having, please! Skye is spayed, housebroken, good on a leash, and already trained for the basics (come, sit, shake). She is looking for an active forever family with another dog or doggie daycare to help burn off her young collie energy. Skye is an absolute sweetheart!

Overview:
The Collie, a majestic and intelligent breed, originates from Scotland where they were primarily used for herding sheep. Known for their striking beauty, Collies typically possess a long, flowing double coat that comes in a variety of colors including sable and white, tricolor, and blue merle. They have a graceful, athletic build, with a distinctive long muzzle and expressive eyes. In terms of temperament, Collies are renowned for being incredibly loyal, gentle, and highly trainable, making them excellent companions. Their affectionate nature makes them particularly well-suited for families with children, though their need for moderate exercise means they thrive in homes with yards, rather than cramped apartment living. While generally a healthy breed, potential owners should be aware of a predisposition to certain conditions like Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA) and drug sensitivities. With proper care and training, a Collie will enrich any household with their devoted companionship and bright personality.
