Description
Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Border Collie / Mixed (short coat). Hi there, I’m Rucker I just made my way up from Mississippi, and I’m on the lookout for my forever family! I may be a big guy, but trust me—I’m basically a giant marshmallow. I’m a chill, easygoing boy who loves hanging out with my dog friends and my humans. I’m not wild or over the top, but every now and then I get a burst of zoomies that will absolutely make you laugh My favorite things in the world? ✨ Being close to my people ✨ Snuggling up for cuddles ✨ Going on nice walks ✨ Tagging along to the kids’ games and cheering them on ✨ Relaxing in the yard by a cozy fire while you toast s’mores I’m really just an all‑around good boy who wants to be part of everything you do. I’d love a family who will toss a ball with me, take me on adventures, and let me be part of their daily life. I’d also do great with some basic training classes—not because I’m naughty, but because I want to bond with my new family and learn all the things that make me the best companion I can be If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, gentle big guy to complete your family, I’m your boy.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Borador, a delightful cross between the intelligent Border Collie and the friendly Labrador Retriever, is a relatively new designer breed gaining popularity. Originating from the desire to blend the best traits of both parents, Boradors typically inherit a medium build, often with the Labrador's strong frame and the Collie's agile grace. Their coat can vary widely in color and texture, from short and dense to medium-length and feathery, usually requiring moderate grooming. Temperamentally, they are known for being loyal, energetic, and highly trainable, making them excellent companions for active families. They thrive in environments where they receive plenty of physical and mental stimulation, making them less suitable for small apartment living unless daily exercise is guaranteed. While generally healthy, potential owners should be aware of predispositions to conditions seen in their parent breeds, such as hip and elbow dysplasia or certain eye conditions, underscoring the importance of responsible breeding practices.
