Experienced Dog/BC Owner Potentials
Tip is a striking boy that is a more private dog with strangers and affection. Once he feels comfortable he will open up his trust, really enjoy his time with his people and is super smart. He is ready to bound outside for fun times or leash activities. He needs lots of room to run and play with a 6 foot wooden fence and he can be overly stimulated using his herding mouth; tricks and redirection help this young man know the direction his human is asking for. He does focus on balls as he runs and explores things. He is easy on the leash but strong if something catches his interest and is totally excited when we run and play in a few hill hike/bike trails enjoying commands for jogging as well. Tip is more private about his comfort level for love/petting and is working on this as he does enjoy our fun hugs and makes eye contact. Tip is looking for an experienced dog person who understands the sensitivities of the Border Collie. His litter came to my rescue July 4th 2014 at 4 months of age which is a prime life experience for any dog. Tip 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 absorbing all sounds and movements of life, pretty dang scary for young herders. He is still learning about strangers and how they should approach him for the best positive experience. He is not suitable for cats or children/grandchildren as he is scared of fast movements and can fear bark. 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 walks. 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 Tip and potentially stay a few days to further the matching process
