Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie (long coat). Border Collie male Welcome Piccolo from Stanislaus Animal Services! Piccolo was listed by the shelter as 2 years of age, but our trusty foster who happens to be a veterinarian thinks he’s quite a bit younger. He’s 60lbs. Piccolo is ready for a home…one that is training focused and can handle the equivalent of a bull in a china shop. This guy is big, bouncy, and jovial. His vibe, love you to death. He’s dog social and a big time player so resident dogs buckle up. Cats, critters, livestock unknown at this time. He did sleep soundly in a crate overnight, not a peep. Piccolo is microchipped, neutered, and UTD on vaccines. Piccolo is in Reedley, CA (south of Fresno) for a few days and then he’s headed to the Central Coast of CA.

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).
