Description
Dog Breed: Border Collie (long coat). Border Collie male puppy Welcome Zip from Stanislaus County Animal Services! Zip is a 7 month old, 38lb, what appears to be pure bred border collie. Probably a stock dog from a nearby farm or ranch. He’s the real deal and as a result looking for an active, breed savvy home. Leash walks ain’t cutting it for this guy. We’re aiming to place him into a sport dog home or a training-forward, action packed lifestyle where a dog of this caliber can be mentally and physically fulfilled daily. Zip is quick to bond and would crawl into your skin if he could. Per his foster, he is very friendly and wants to have his person around more often than not. After all, border collies were bred to work closely alongside their people and not miss out on the fun. He likes other dogs but will bark/nip if they get in his space. He is however easily redirected and still decompressing from the shelter. We have no doubt this boy will settle into pack drive shortly. Zip walks well on a leash but has no idea about basic commands. He will need training and patience but overall a good boy. Zip is microchipped, neutered, and UTD on vaccines. Zip is currently in Reedley, CA (near Fresno) More photos, video, and updates: .facebook/.cchdrescue/ search in posts and photo albums.

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).
