About Bella
🐾BELLA 🐾
🐶16 weeks | Border Collie X German Shepherd
Female | Medium/Large adult size expected
💗 Meet Bella
Bella is a loving, happy, people-focused puppy who bonds deeply with her people. Couch snuggles, playing in the yard, beach walks (she's warming up to water!) - she's happy anywhere with you! She plays well with her puppy friends at the beach and her foster brother.
🙌Personality & Temperament
- Affectionate and people-oriented
- Clever and eager to learn
- Playful and energetic
🧠Training
Bella is very food-motivated and enjoys learning and play. She loves chasing the ball, tug and enrichment activities. She has great recall already and picks up commands quickly! 👏
She is currently learning leash walking, crate training, impulse control and basic commands. Bella is a young puppy who thrives with structure, routine and guidance. New situations and unfamiliar dogs can be overwhelming sometimes, so she needs calm, supportive leadership as she continues to build confidence.
🏡Ideal Home
✔️Owners with a commitment to ongoing training and taking her on adventures
✔️ Working breed or GSD experience preferred
✔️ A calm resident dog would be a bonus
Bella is currently fostered with another male dog and gains confidence from canine company. She would love a sibling, but it is not a requirement.
🌟 In return, Bella offers loyalty, affection, intelligence and a deep lifelong bond. She is ready to meet her forever family 🐶❤️
Medical notes
The desexing procedure is typically performed once the puppies reach a minimum age of 24 weeks. It is a mandatory requirement that all puppies are desexed by the age of 26 weeks, unless there is written veterinary advice indicating otherwise. A contractual agreement specifying the commitment to desexing by the specified due date is required for completion.
Upon submission of documented evidence confirming the desexing procedure, a refund of $250 will be issued, and ownership transfer will be facilitated. Ownership transfer will not be processed until valid proof of desexing is provided via email.
It is important to note that all our dogs and puppies undergo microchipping, vaccination, and receive preventive measures against parasites as part of our standard practices.
