Bailey ~ Border Collie X (on trial 21/7/2018)

This very happy go lucky boy is Bailey. He is a 14 month old Border Collie X, well only a little cross as his mum was a purebred Border Collie and dad was a Border Collie x Cattle Dog.

Bailey loves, loves his toys and playing fetch. He is at his happiest having someone to play with him in the yard. Bailey is super smart but being a young boy his attention span is rather short. He hasn’t had much training and would love nothing more then for someone to spend the time with him to further his training. He is learning very quickly and can sit and come when called. He does jump up to say hello but is being taught to sit for a good pat.

Bailey does pull a bit on lead and will need a good walking harness to help with this. He hasn’t had a lot of socialisation with other dogs and does get a bit excited with other dogs but he is a social boy and would love to play. He hasn’t been exposed to cats or pocket pets.

Bailey is toilet trained but does pee a little when excited or nervous. He does currently sleep outside on his nice warm bed but we would like a spot inside for him. It is a must for Bailey to be with his family and be allowed inside when someone is home for some of the time. He doesn’t mind being outside but wouldn’t suit a family who is not home much so full time workers are not suitable.

Bailey's perfect home is a good size yard to play in, someone who wants to play with him in this yard, a daily walk, a family that wants him as a family member and a home that will love him. Bailey is a delight and will bring one lucky family so much joy!

Since Bailey can be a bit excitable, children over 10 years old would be a better fit.
