Meet Shep! š
I'm a handsome and intelligent Border Collie in search of my forever home. I'm looking for an experienced owner who understands my breed's needs and can provide me with the love, training, and activity I crave. As I can be an anxious boy, I'm seeking a home with no kids under 15-years-of-age and no cats or birds. I am selective with my dog friends and do prefer other more submissive and playful border collies.
PERSONALITY:
As a typical Border Collie, I embody the breed's hallmark traits of high intelligence and a strong desire to please. I thrive on mental and physical stimulation. I possess a sweet and affectionate nature, finding my greatest joy in spending quality time with my human companions. While I am naturally friendly and social, I may exhibit initial reserve around strangers, highlighting the importance of having an owner who can provide guidance and support in building my confidence and social skills. With the right guidance and care, I am eager to become a devoted and cherished member of a loving family.
TRAINING: (sleep, toilet, crate training, commands/tricks, leash walking?)
Shep has a solid foundation in basic manners and is well-behaved off leash, making him an ideal companion for outdoor adventures or invigorating trail runs. While he relishes in the thrill of exploration, it's important to note that ongoing socialization is key for Shep, requiring patience and understanding as he acclimates to new environments and encounters. With his affectionate nature, Shep can sometimes lean towards being a bit needy, seeking reassurance and companionship from his trusted humans. If you're prepared to provide Shep with the love, guidance, and adventure he craves while embracing his need for ongoing socialization, he'll undoubtedly blossom into a loyal and devoted companion ready to embark on countless adventures by your side.
PERFECT HOME: (are they tested on children, other dogs & animals, level of exercise, acerage/suburbia, need another dog?)
I am seeking a home with an experienced owner who comprehends the unique needs of Border Collies and is dedicated to providing me with the structured routine, consistent training, and activity that I thrive on. It's imperative for me to have a fenced yard where I can freely run and play, indulging in the outdoor adventures I adore. I flourish in an environment where I am actively involved in daily activities and provided with abundant mental stimulation through training sessions, puzzle toys, and interactive games. It's essential to note that I am not comfortable around children, so I'm searching for a home where I can feel safe and secure. If you're an experienced owner seeking a devoted and loving companion who will thrive in an environment tailored to my needs.
Love & licks!
