Garth - The Border Collie Dynamo. Meet Garth, a 1-year-and-3-month-old Border Collie who embodies his breed's every characteristic! This boy's endless energy, sharp mind, and eagerness to work will leave you breathless. He's seeking an active home that can provide him with the physical and mental challenges he craves. Garth's energy level is off the charts, demanding lots of exercise like long runs, hikes, bike rides, and playtime. He's also perfect for dog sports like agility, flyball, or herding trials. Born to do a job, Garth thrives with a task to focus on, whether herding livestock, fetching, or learning tricks. Being young and energetic, he's still working on manners and can be jumpy and mouthy, especially when excited. Ongoing training and socialization will help him channel his energy positively. With herding instincts in his blood, Garth may nip at heels or try to gather people or animals. Positive reinforcement training and appropriate outlets for these instincts will be key. Garth's ideal home is an active household with experienced dog owners who can handle his energy and training needs, a securely fenced yard, and a commitment to ongoing training, socialization, and mental stimulation. A home without young children or small animals is best due to his herding instincts. If you seek an energetic, intelligent, and loyal companion who will keep you on your toes, Garth might be your perfect match!
