Ziggy ~ Border Collie X (on trial 6/1/2018)

Hi my name is Ziggy and I am a 4 year old very healthy Border Collie cross and weigh around 18kgs.

I am extremely well trained and do as I am asked. I can sit, stay, have excellent recall and am housetrained. I do currently sleep in my kennel outside but absolutely love my time with the family as this is my favourite thing, just to hang out inside with you.

I would make a fantastic family dog as I am great with kids. I love to play and kids make great play mates. I play fetch and love to chase the ball.

Now I do get on with other dogs but would actually enjoy being an only dog as I can be a bit bossy and protective of my people. I like to be the centre of attention when it comes to pats and love. I currently live with a cat but have little interaction with it as I don’t think it likes me much. I will chase after small pockets pets, just to play mind you, as I don’t do anything if I catch up to one.

I do enjoy a walk. If you grab that lead, I literally burst with excitement so do pull for the first 50 metres and then I settle down and enjoy myself. I have had a great time at the beach too and would love to go some more. Although I wasn’t allowed off lead.

I am a very affectionate, loving boy and like to come up for a pat by anyone at the house. When you talk to me I actually look at you like I actually understand you.

I am happy to be by myself if you work or go to school as long as you are happy to play with me when you get home.

I would suit anyone really, a family with kids 5 years and older, a young couple, an older couple as long as I you are happy to make me a family member.

I am currently living at Heatherbrae and Cellia is taking all enquiries for me. If you would like to meet me and give me a pat, please email Celia on celia4dogrescue@yahoo.com.
