Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie. Clover is a 10-week-old sweetheart who loves to snuggle! At just 9 lbs, she is already showing what a loving companion she’ll be, absolutely loving being held and would happily snuggle in your arms all day if she could! Clover is doing great with house training for her age. She goes outside frequently and uses potty pads when needed. She’s also crate-trained and will nap and sleep on and off in her crate. While she may cry a bit when she wants attention (typical puppy behavior), she settles down well and just wants to feel safe and loved. She’s curious and quietly observant around other dogs, and she loves kids, happily soaking up attention from everyone she meets. She doesn't have experience with cats, so a proper introduction is recommended. Playful and affectionate, she plays hard and naps hard! Clover enjoys mini stuffed squeaky toys, followed by long, cozy naps. She’s a little shadow who loves to sit between your feet and stay close by. Clover would thrive in a home ready for all the fun and learning that comes with a young puppy. With her sweet personality and cuddly nature, she’s sure to grow into an incredibly loyal and loving companion.

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).
