Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat). Introducing Echo!! Don't let her age fool you--this old gal still has a lot to offer! Echo loves going for walks and even loves to swim! She is the bst of both worlds--she loves hanging out on the couch but also won't say no to a little adventure! Echo would benefit from some continued positive reinforcement training in her next home to perfect her manners. She gets easily overwhelmed by other dogs so she is looking to live as the only dog in the home, but may be able to have some very laid back and polite canine friends out of the home. She lived with cats previously, and both cuddled and chased them, so a dog-savvy cat would be best. She could also live with sturdy kids who don't mind a rowdy dog. If you'd like to learn more about whether Echo is a good fit for you, come into the shelter to start the matchmaking process!

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.
