About Bowie
Hi, my name is Bowie! I’m an energetic Border Collie x Poodle who loves to learn!
PERFECT HOME
Bowie would love to be the centre of your world!
When he came into care he was severely matted so it’s important his new owners maintain his grooming needs.
Bowie is a smart and driven boy who’d love a sports home where his needs will be fulfilled.
ABOUT
I’m absolutely obsessed with people and so far, I haven’t met a person I don’t like! I’d happily spend as much time with you as possible and would love to be the centre of attention.
I’m a clever, energetic boy who is very food and toy motivated, which makes me a great candidate for training and dog sports. Just like you’d expect from a Border Collie, I have plenty of energy and would love to have a job to do. An active adopter who enjoys training, enrichment or sports would be right up my alley!
TRAINING
I’m still learning my house manners and I don’t have much of an off-switch yet, so I’ll need someone who is happy to help me learn how to settle and relax. I am, however, crate trained and sleep through the night.
I’ve also made some really wonderful progress since coming into care. When I first arrived, I found being behind a barrier very difficult and would bark constantly. I’ve come a long way and can now happily spend time alone outside. A huge improvement!
When it comes to other dogs, I’m still figuring things out. So far, I haven’t shown much interest in playing with other dogs. I can be neutral around them when I’m on lead, but I can become frustrated when barriers are involved. For now, I’d be happiest as an only dog in the home.
If you are happy to put the effort in and am experienced with high energy dogs, then you could be the right fit for Bowie.
