Weight - approx 18kg

Vaccinated - Yes
Vet Checked/Health status or issues- no issues.

Good with Cats - has lived with a cat before, tends to attempt rounding them up, but doesn't attack them.
Good with Dogs - no, more suited to a single dog situation. She does live with another dog, although only tolerates.
Good with Children - over 6 years old
Good with farm animals - hasn't been tested- not good with chickens.
Fence requirements for dogs - fence always required but will not leave her property.
She is an absolute ball of energy, excellent on walks until you're walking past another dog and then she can be reactive , so we use alot of distractions …..for her its toys. She is very obedient, house trained and super loyal. She deserves the best home, more suited to someone with older kids- no toddlers, or kids that will get in her face, no other dogs. She likes all attention on her (typical border collie). She doesn't like the mower, whipper snipper or blower, but she can be distracted with toys and she will just run around like crazy with a toy in her mouth everytime you use them. Tell her to go get a toy and she will, tell her to sit, enough, get on her bed, she will. She would be very suited to an active person. Just typical requirements of a working dog- space, active lifestyle, consistency.
Costa is not fond of storms.
About cats
“ She was always good with my parents Burmese cats. Her bestfriend was lulu a Burmese a few years ago, she would just sit and stalk her usually. She looks like she will launch but it’s just a game”
