Hi, I'm
Baloo
Border Collie
My story
Meet Baloo! Personality & Energy Level: Baloo is an exceptionally smart, energetic puppy with a strong desire to learn and please his people. As a Border Collie and Kelpie mix, he is an active working-breed dog who needs plenty of physical exercise and mental stimulation. He will thrive with a family that enjoys an active lifestyle and can provide long walks, daily activities, and consistent training. After a good session of exercise and activity, Baloo is happy to settle down on the floor and entertain himself with his dog toys. Baloo will benefit from continued training, consistency, and clear expectations. His intelligence and willingness to learn make him a wonderful candidate for someone who enjoys working with and training their dog. Training & Intelligence: Baloo is very intelligent and has learned commands remarkably quickly with his foster family. He is eager to please and enjoys learning new things. Commands he currently knows: - Sit - Lay down - Off - Shake - Come here - Wait / Release - Leave it - Go peepee He has also learned to wait for his release cue before exiting through the front door. Compatibility - Children: Loves kids. - Other Dogs: Loves other dogs and enjoys playing with them. - Cats: Has not been tested with cats. Leash Training: Baloo currently barks at other dogs while walking on a leash because he is excited and wants to play with every dog he sees. He will need additional leash training to learn appropriate walking manners and remain focused around other dogs. Ideal Home: Baloo needs an active home with people who have the time and commitment to provide daily exercise, training, and activities. He would do best with an owner who is patient, consistent, and comfortable working with an intelligent, high-energy working breed. He could be an excellent candidate for a farm or property where he has a job to do. Given his Border Collie and Kelpie heritage, he may particularly enjoy herding-related activities such as driving, gathering, tending, or droving. With the right training and introduction, he could also enjoy having responsibilities around a property. Baloo is not recommended for a sedentary household or someone who does not have the time to dedicate to his exercise, training, and mental stimulation. What Makes Baloo Special? Baloo has the intelligence, energy, and eagerness to please that make working breeds so special. He learns quickly, loves people and other dogs, and wants to be involved in whatever his family is doing. With an active home, continued training, and a purpose, Baloo has the potential to become an incredible lifelong companion.
