3 Year old Blue Merle looking for rural home

Blue merle border collie, born May 2021, currently 21kg at 53cms tall. Many KC Show Champions and ISDS herding champions within her bloodlines. Pedigree Certificate and her Health Test Certificate available.



Raised in a rural home with primary school aged children and other dogs. An unexpected house move to a busier location with high volumes of traffic at different times throughout the day and a much smaller garden is of detriment to her. I'm regrettably seeking a better home and future for the smartest and fastest border collie I've owned.



She's athletic and needs a large garden for her favourite frisbee and ball games, but only in a quiet more rural setting. She prefers to be outside for long walks in the countryside and has given a few agility courses a go for fun. I believe she would be great at scent training but I've not got the time to dedicate to this. She will assist unloading the washing machine and tumble dryer and can open doors with handles at home. She's a quick learner and would benefit from joining her owner at work.



She's become wary and scared of loud vehicles since moving home, eg the weekly wheelie bin collections and is now reluctant to go out for walks particularly as we have to pass two reasonably busy car parks. She has also refused to leave Pets at Home due to the busy car park outside however she'll happily jump in the car to be let out at the dog park. This may have been a fear phase however it's lasted a long time. She's started barking at tractors and lorries and wants to chase; this is may require desensitisation training or lots of frisbee games early on to satisfy her prey drive.



I'm looking for somebody that has the time to dedicate to increasing her confidence, time to play tug and recall games ultimately creating a solid companion bond and enjoying a more outdoorsy lifestyle that she'll thrive in. Families with older children will be considered although I feel she'll benefit from bonding with 1 person who has experience with border collies and likes a rural life. I would prefer at least a couple of familiarisation sessions prior to re-homing so that we can ensure that you're the right fit for each other long term. She's friendly with people all ages and likes similar dogs with high energy and play preferences.
