Description

DEXTER's ideal home

Dexter is a two-year-old Kelpie cross Collie seeking out adult adopts to share action and adventure with. Dexter would love a home with adopters who are keen to do dog sports such as Cani cross, scent work and positive reward training. He is looking to be the only dog in the home, a home without cats or small furries, and care may be needed around livestock. Dexter is instantly friendly with new people and would be fine with a reasonably busy environment and visitors to the home. He is not used to being left alone, loves company; time left is best built up gradually. He has history of being housetrained and may need reminding using positive reward training. Dexter is worried by traffic and will need a home and walks away from busy roads. Experience with Collies, or high-drive dogs with working brains would be beneficial.

Could you be DEXTER's perfect match?

Dexter is a friendly boy who loves to be active and on the go! His big love is a ball, and he would play all day everyday if he could! He has a very clever brain and therefore needs mental stimulation as well as physical exercise. Plenty of sniffing, searching for treats is great for the mind. He would enjoy learning and getting involved in search games for fun. Dexter knows a sit and is currently learning to walk with a loose lead, name response when out and about, and muzzle training as a skill. Dexter lacks social skills when it comes to other dogs and prefers his personal space. When Dexter is calm and his exercise needs have been met, he likes a fuss and is affectionate.

Border Collie Buying Checklist

We highly recommend every buyer reads through the below advice when purchasing or rehoming a Border Collie.

View the animal in the place it was born and raised - check for genuine home environments if buying privately, or the quality of the breeders set-up if applicable.
If viewing a puppy under 6 months, by law they MUST be seen with their mum.
Make sure the animal's old enough to be rehomed. 8 weeks should be the earliest a puppy can be rehomed.
By law, all dogs MUST be microchipped

Avoid Potential Scams

There are a number of red flags to look out for when purchasing a new puppy:

Seller demands a deposit without allowing you to see the dog first - never send any money before meeting the animal in person
Seller is reluctant to send you additional photos or videos
Seller offers to deliver the dog/puppy
Seller asks to meet in a mutual location
Seller uses fake or stolen photos from the internet. Always carry out a "Google image search".

Although we have a number of automated systems in place to prevent scam and fraudulant adverts, these can never be 100% accurate and its important to use caution when buying online. We do not accept any responsibility for transactions between our users, especially when our safe buying advice is not followed.
