ADOPTED – ALL HAVE FOREVER HOMES –

THE SPRING FLING PUPS are such a sweet group of puppies that are sure to steal your heart. Even the spunkiest & most adventurous of the puppies is super sweet. Born May 22, 2023, the pups are 9 weeks old & are ready to go to their forever homes. All of the puppies are “border collie” energetic & smart, so be prepared with games, training opportunities, or dog sports for these dearies; a few really like to play in water and all love toys. If you give them what they need to work their little brains & bodies, they all have an “off switch” & will be happy snuggling, or hanging out with you—some more than others, so ask lots of questions about the puppy you want to bring home. The puppies live with other dogs in their foster home, so they are well-socialized to dogs. They have had lots of visitors in their foster home, & they have been charming to one & all. They don’t yet have a firm grasp of housebreaking, as they’re all still together, providing each other with plenty of distractions. As smart as they are, that should come together once they have one-on-one, consistent direction from you. They eat their meals in their crates & have ridden in a large crate together for the ride to their foster home & to the vet without getting carsick. The SPRING FLING litter is being fostered Granite Bay, Placer County, CA.

NOTE: Three of them are hard to tell apart so we have included some non standard photos to help you ID them in the long video

Adventurous, curious, confident, & with lots of energy, Ash can go from focused & on-the-job to goofball in the blink of an eye. He will be a blast to train, using toys & treats & through the wonderful bond he’ll form with his person, & after training or lots of play, he will love to snuggle. Because he is smart & high energy, he will need things to do to stimulate him mentally as well as physically to help him be the best boy he can be.
