Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie / Shepherd (short coat). Lucy is about 12 weeks old and appears to be a Border Collie/Cattle Dog mix. She has lots of energy and drive and will be a fun pup for someone who understands working breeds. She warms up faster with another dog in the home, but with patience and structure she’ll bond beautifully. She’s doing well in her crate (a few minutes of barking, then nap time) and is eating great. Lucy will thrive in an active, committed home ready to channel her smarts the right way. For a complete list of our pets and photos please visit our website fochp

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).
