Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie / Hound (short coat). MERCEDES aka “Sadie” is one of Maserati’s six puppies. MAZI is a sweet girl, a good mama and loves everybody, even strangers! We’re hoping the puppies take on her personality. Dad was a traveling salesman – most likely of the hound of variety. Attaching a copy of the DNA results to this listing. The highest percentage of their heritage is of the herding breeds so we’re looking for active, dog oriented homes. Sadie is very sweet, like her momma, and is a lighter color than the others - kind of an “off-black”. Will she grow up brindle like her mom, or a dark chocolate? Adoption fee of $350 will cover a eventual spay/Neuter when they are old enough. Vets are now recommending after the first heat for girls snd after the growth plates close for the boys - This helps prevent some health problems as they mature. The puppies have received their deworming and will have their first vaccine And are totally weaned from mom. They turned eight weeks old on Easter day and are available now. We do ask that Adopters of puppies under 12 months of age attend a basic obedience class with them. We find that this results in a more confident, settled pup and reduces returns down the road. We can recommend a group class with a positive reinforcement trainer. If you feel like your family is up to puppyhood, please fill out an application at panimals.

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).
