About Boba Fett
Boba Fett (house name is Rufus) is an 18month old desexed male Border Collie, surrendered due to family personal issues and is now looking towards a new and happy life!
He is an absolute sweetheart, loves cuddles and gives great nose bumps for head rubs and ear scratches, happily would sit up on the couch or on your bed if allowed! He has been learning to sit on his bed and understand that inside is bed time but he does wander here and there to see where you are!
He loves kids, of all ages, is fantastic with them, he can get excited and yip and if new kids, neighbour’s etc. enter property he can yip and bark so primary kids are better, this can be resolved with good settlement and some training.
Not much he doesn’t like except being left outside, he will scratch at the door insistently to be inside with his family unless they are outside with him! Reactive to strangers at times, barks at the fence when he hears voices over the fence, that does settle down when he feels settled!
He knows how to sit, shake, drop, stay, ‘on your bed’, ‘come back’, just needs a little more training with his new person to perfect and his recall is good!
Isn’t really that interested in cats and can live with dog savvy cats but look out if they run as his natural instinct is to chase! Otherwise they can sleep beside him! No pocket pets!
Loves, loves, loves dogs especially like minded dogs that love running and wrestling and running some more! His foster home had a border collie cross and they were best of mates, wrestled constantly!
With another dog he could be ok at home alone but I think he ideally would suit a person home more often than not to snuggle up to, to follow about, to help you make sandwiches, oh he does reach up on the bench if anything is left out!
A good sized backyard, or block with lots of bush land or similar for exploring and for running! Or someone who can take him on long walks each day, bike rides, beach visits and friendly dog parks. Teenagers and older kids can walk him with a harness but he can pull.
