Meet Jiuer ("Joe") Please read the entire bio (bite history explained) before inquiring. Joe is a 2.5-year-old, 16 kg (35 lbs) male Border Collie looking for a special home with an experienced owner who understands high-drive working breeds. He is up to date on his vaccinations, microchipped, and was recently neutered. Joe is incredibly intelligent, athletic, and eager to stay active. He loves being outdoors, enjoys fetching balls and loves being around people. He is friendly with strangers and has many of the qualities people love about Border Collies—bright, energetic, observant, and always ready to engage. Joe's ideal home is one with an experienced adult owner who is familiar with herding breeds and committed to providing consistent structure, ongoing training, regular exercise, and appropriate mental enrichment. He is not suitable for a first-time dog owner or a family with young children. Joe has a history of resource guarding and territorial behavior. There have been two bite incidents involving family members, one of the recent incidents required medical treatment. Because of this history, we don't feel that we can safely manage him anymore. He will need an owner who understands these challenges and is prepared to work through them carefully.

If interested in Zep, please contact Alex via email at asdehaan@gmail.com. Zep is a 7.5-year-old spayed female Border Collie weighing about 60 lbs. She is microchipped and current on vaccinations, including rabies. Zep is a very sweet, loyal dog who loves attention and being close to her people. She will come up and put her head in your lap when she wants attention, and she often follows me around the house. She loves walks, playing, and being included in whatever is going on. She is smart and has picked up the things I have taught her pretty quickly.
