Meet Ernie



If you are looking for more of a cuddle bunny in your border collie Ernie is your man. He is still a bit dependent on his brother Bert but when separated he really seeks out human attention.  He is the first to come when called and desperately wants to please.  He is more cautious in nature than his brother but will always follow his brother’s naughty lead.  He is food motivated and in true border collie fashion learns very quickly.  He learned come and down in one lesson and is doing very well with the “come” command although that is still a work in progress.  He loves other dogs and would do well with a canine companion although he doesn’t always understand when he is being corrected by another dog so needs an older dog that is understanding of his puppyish ways.  He is very good in his crate and will lay quietly until the door is opened.  He is the more vocal of the two brothers and will often give you a couple of barks just to let you know he is near and wants some attention.    Ernie is doing well with housetraining and has less accidents then his brother although if you reach toward him too quickly he will sometimes “piddle” a bit

 

Ernie is still a young guy and needs work on his socialization both with people and other dogs but the glimpse of the “mature” dog I see in him is that he will develop into a very loyal and loving boy.
