Magnum ~ 3.5yr Old Border CollieX(On Trial 26/9/21

Meet Magnum, the extremely excitable 3.5 year old Staffy x Border Collie. Magnum quickly warms up to people and is a well-mannered dog who loves affection, pats/scratches, and tug of war with his chew toys.

Magnum will make sure he is a part of any activity you’re doing: running, walking, reading a book, cooking, taking a nap, etc. He is food motivated and takes treats very gently. He gets very excited at dinner time and will jump around in circles which is a joy to watch.

He will need a family that knows he needs to have a lot of exercise and mental stimulation or he will get bored. Magnum has some basic obedience including sit and a reliable recall, though he may benefit from ongoing obedience training, particularly walking on the lead.

Magnum has been a loving companion to younger kids previously but we believe the best fit for him would be children older than 8yrs has he is still learning not to jump. A home with another dog, preferably older and around the same size, would also be suitable. Magnum is not suited to a home with cats or pocket pets.

As I love my humans so much, I’d love to go to a home where I am welcomed inside and be involved in my new family’s life. It would be great if someone worked part time and was mostly home during the days or I could go with them, as I get scared when left alone.

Magnum will love a medium-sized grassy backyard with plenty of room to roam. His new home would require secure 6ft fencing with no gaps or holes.
