Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie. Farmer is an 11-week-old Border Collie mix and a pretty chill pup! At around 12 pounds now, he’s in that perfect squishy, playful puppy stage. Farmer is already crate-trained and doing great with it—he’ll even wander in on his own to relax with the door open. He’s also well on his way with house-training and just needs a bit more consistency to fully master it. He handles alone time well and is especially excited to greet you when you get home, tail wags guaranteed. He has met other dogs and doesn't usually react very much, and has done really well with neighbor kids. He does not have experience with cats. Farmer loves romping around with other dogs (especially his sister and resident pup). When he plays, he does the cutest little “air chomp”, biting at nothing with tiny snapping sounds that will absolutely make you laugh. He’s also a fan of Kong toys and enjoys short bursts of energy. Once he’s gotten his wiggles out, he’s more than happy to curl up in his crate or puppy bed for a cozy nap. Farmer would thrive in a home ready for puppy life, continued training, playtime, and lots of love. As a Border Collie mix, he’ll grow into a smart, active companion, so a family excited to engage his brain and energy will be a great fit. If you’re looking for a sweet, silly, and snuggly puppy to grow up with your family, Farmer is ready to plant himself right in your heart.

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).
