CHANCE

| Chance is about 2 years old, and is a purebed tri colour male border collie with an easy care smooth coat, and big brown lamps for eyes. When he turns those high beams on you, you definitely bask in the glow of his adoration! Poor Chance was adopted but returned because his new person was allergic to him. Chance really deserves a home of his own, as he has so much to offer a person! Chance has a lot of obedience skills; he can sit, lie down, kennel up, walk nicely on a leash and even come fairly reliably now. Deer and cattle are still too tempting, so Chance is best off in an environment where he can`t have access to livestock. Chance does enjoy playing frisbee, and he is very devoted to his person. Chance seems to like all people big and small, but he does not have a high tolerance for rough handling so he is not a good candidate for a home with children. Chance will only be available to an adult-only home, with someone who rewards for positive behaviour and is not super hands on. He lives peacefully with several other border collies currently and enjoys chase games and wrestlng with his female foster `sibling`. He is very snuggly and enjoys cuddles, but he also requires clear boundaries and does best in a home where he knows the rules. Chance is a pretty soft dog, and needs some confidence and trust building. Positive obedience classes can help achieve this. Chance is kennel trained and loves to ride in the car - he likes it so much that sometimes he prefers to nap there. His first night in foster care he made a bed under some shrubs in the garden and was delighted to learn that he could come sleep in the house! He has made no efforts to escape the fenced yard, but a secure fence is necessary for his own safety. At just 2 years old, Chance is the perfect age to begin training in your favourite sport. He is VERY fast and loves to run, so if channeled appropriately these skills could be tranferred to something like agility. With more work on his recall, he could probably make a very nice working dog for stock. With time and bonding, Chance will be the best dog you ever had! He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped and ready for a home of his own. We can be reached at bcrescue@shaw.ca |
