Drew: Weight: 42 lbs; Activity Level Active Companion/Sports; Breed: Border Collie/Aussie; Coat: Rough Coat Black. Drew is the kind of Border Collie that reads your mind with his eyes, attention to body language, and wicked smart. He can be a hyper typical teenage Border Collie, who loves to work/think at home and on the leash. Cuddly with great curls and an awesome air kiss hug trick. This pup just enjoys life so much and loves to play. He is great with any training incorporating it into play in the yard, on the leash, and with special toys enjoying new games. Drew is looking for an experienced dog person who understands the sensitivities of the Border Collie; lots of room to run and play; 6 foot Wooden Fence; human break during a work day. His litter came to my rescue July 4th 2014 at 4 months of age which is a prime life experience for any dog. Drew overcame a lot of fears and had some imprinting from the owner reaching/grabbing. All the 8 puppies were running free on her 3 acres in Louisiana, pretty dang scary for young herders. He is still learning about strangers and how they should approach him for the best positive experience so he can play with them and give those amazing kisses! Drew would do great in a home that can further his understanding of the world, create fun games when playing outside, enjoy taking ‘working’ walks/hills walks-hikes (away from sidewalk and using tricks) settling in for the day. I do feel he would benefit from another dog in his home that is on his activity level and enjoy fun BC/Aussie play or play dates with dogs he’s met on leash walk. Also, he would do well with a BC experienced school age child. He crates nicely with a break during a work day, a 6 foot fence is required, and owners that follow his diet as his colon is super sensitive. All of his training/diet have been laid out for the next journey in his life! If an out of area applicant would be a potential match it is required they come to Houston to meet Drew and potentially stay a few days to further the matching process. There is an application and home visit required, adoption $300
