Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie (medium coat). Adoption Fee: $300.00. Hey everybody!!! My name is Cu (copper) and I love doing summersaults! I get my name from my coloring and everybody compliments me on it. I’m a male border collie mix and I’m just over a year old (2 months). I weigh just under 50 pounds, but my foster thinks half of that is my long luscious locks. (Does the Fabio head shake...) I am the friendliest pup you’ll meet! I love meeting other dogs and playing with toys. I like to steal my foster sister's toys and play keep away. I also love meeting new humans. And will instantly lean in for petting. I’m crate trained and I’ve learned how to use a doggie door already. I also really like going on walks! I’m still improving my leash etiquette, but I’m super excited to keep learning! I’m very gentle and love getting my belly rubbed, and almost always do a summersault for it! I would love a home with another furry friend to run and play with. And would love going on all the adventures so I can learn and experience the world. Lets get together and go sniff some things!!!

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).
