Blossom

Some puppies are happy to sit back and watch the world go by. Blossom would prefer to know where we're going, what we're doing and whether there's a job vacancy she can apply for!

This clever little Staffy x Border Collie has clearly read the Border Collie handbook and decided to take her heritage VERY seriously. Smart, driven and full of potential, Blossom is the kind of pup who wants to get involved in everything life has to offer!

But Blossom's story didn't have the easiest beginning. Born and raised in a pound environment, she spent her first nine weeks missing out on many of the everyday experiences that help puppies understand the world around them.

Now that she's getting her chance to explore, Blossom needs an active, committed family who will help her make up for those missed experiences. Ongoing, positive socialisation with people, other dogs and new environments will be absolutely essential, along with plenty of reward-based training, mental enrichment and appropriate physical activity.

With her working-breed instincts, Blossom won't be looking for a home where the daily agenda consists of a quick stroll and a Netflix marathon. She needs people who genuinely enjoy training, engaging with their dog and giving that busy little brain something productive to do!

Blossom has the brains, the drive and the enthusiasm. Now she's looking for the humans who can help her put them all to good use!
