Panda

Hi! My name is Panda (nicknamed Lady Whirlwind) – I’m an 11-month-old Collie girl with a graceful stride, a gentle soul, and a big heart full of love. I might be a little shy when we first meet, but give me a moment and I’ll be your loyal shadow, always close by with quiet confidence.

As a working breed pup, Panda will need an active home where she can run, play, and explore.

**Panda is not suitable for a suburban backyard and being left alone.**

I'm quick on my paws and even quicker to learn – I’ve already mastered recall and I’m nailing “down and stay” like a champ! Whether I’m showing off my zoomies in the yard or stretched out on the couch like a queen, I’m all about that calm, clever, cuddly life. Looking for a sweet, smart best friend? I’m ready to make your heart – and your home – my forever place.

Panda would thrive in a loving home where patience, kindness, and quiet confidence are part of the daily rhythm—perfect for a single person or a medium-active couple looking for a smart, loyal companion. She’s great with other dogs, gentle and friendly, though she can be a little shy with bigger pups at first—never fearful, just thoughtful until she knows she’s safe. Her heart truly belongs to her people; while she enjoys canine company, her favorite place is curled up beside you, offering calm companionship and quiet devotion through every twist and turn life brings. Everyone who meets her falls for her instantly—she’s such a gentle, beautiful soul with a quiet magic that’s impossible to resist.

Panda has a calm, thoughtful personality with a sweet, loyal streak that shines once she feels at home. She’s quietly confident, affectionate without being demanding, and always nearby like a gentle shadow. She absolutely loves to play and chew with her Baxter toys—especially when she can toss them around and show off her speed—but she’s never destructive and knows the difference between toys and treasures. She’s a polite housemate too—no early morning wake-ups, she’ll happily wait until you’re up and ready for the day before heading out for a walk.

She loves to run at full speed in the park, but is just as content curled up by your desk for hours while you work. She’s a good eater—she enjoys her meals but isn’t overly food-driven—and she’s beautifully social with other dogs, playing sweetly with both my energetic young Kelpie and my very old Blue Heeler. No resource guarding, no drama—just a gentle, elegant soul who’s happy to share. Panda can sit, walks well on the lead and is doing well with all training.

She’s the kind of dog who fits into your rhythm and fills your home with quiet, steady love.
