Joy (On Trial 20/12/14) ~ border collie

Joy is a 4.5 month old, short haired, border collie x puppy. She loves a good wrestle and game of chase with our 3 other foster dogs. She also loves cuddles, whether it be with animals or humans. Joy is amazing with kids of all ages and is very gentle with them. She loves to give us lots of her affectionate wet kisses.

Joy is living in a foster home with rabbits, cats and dogs. She loves the other dogs, but being a herding breed, she can't resist trying to herd the rabbits and cats so she's not suitable to a home with them.

Joy walks very well on a harness and lead and loves our nightly walks together. Trips to the beach are a special treat. We have started basic training such as "Sit" and "Stay" and this will need to be continued in her new home. We have also started house training her and she is doing well but isn't perfect yet. We always recommend dog training classes to give your new family member the best start in life.

Joy is an inside dog and needs to be allowed inside when people are home and to sleep inside. She needs to be treated like a member family. She likes nothing more than sleeping in her bed on the floor next to your bed at night.

Joy has a short, very low maintenance coat that can easily be cared for by just the occasional bath and brushing.

Joy is gorgeous, active and friendly young dog who is a delight to have around.
