Hi, my name is Garth. I am approximately 2 » years old male classically marked border collie with a semi rough cough. When the good folks at BCIN rescued me late last Spring, I was very sick a very nasty upper respiratory infection that turned into bilateral pneumonia within the week. I loved all of the tender loving care as I was given at the vet's and during my recovery. I have fully recovered fully with no adverse affects to my health.
I am a typical Border Collie with moderate to medium high energy. I do have an off button if given lots of daily and consistent exercise. I love to run and take lots of long walks. I'm not too interested in fetching a ball or Frisbee, so I think it would be wonderful to find a good running or hiking partner and someone with an active lifestyle. I am eager to learn and do know some basic obedience commands. I walk well on a leash as long as you like to walk at a fast pace.
I have good house manners as long as you don't mind me getting up on the couch to cuddle with you. I don't counter surf. I don't touch things that don't belong to me and I am house trained. Did I mention I love to cuddle? I'm very sweet and affectionate. My foster mom calls me a "Velcro Dog", whatever that means. I just know that I love attention and want to be with my person all the time.
I get along well with most other dogs. I probably wouldn't be good in a home with a cat as I like to chase little critters that run from me. Small children probably wouldn't be a good idea either. I'm a very sweet, loving guy looking for a home where I will get lots of attention and exercise. My ideal home is one where I will thrive with consistent exercise and obedience training, as I possess has the traits that BC owners like about this breed.
