Medium (25 – 60 lbs) Learn MorePigeon is a Border Collie/Labrador mix who is about 8 months old. This 35-pound puppy is ready for new adventures and is eagerly looking for an engaged and active household. Many things are new to this girl, so she will need a guiding hand to help her navigate the world. She will need lots of training and socialization coupled with someone who can provide more than “walks around the block”. She is a sweet people and dog-friendly pup.
Please do your research on herding breeds:
- Herding breeds are typically industrious, athletic, energetic, focused, highly intelligent, fast learners and loyal. These traits describe dogs who require daily exercise, both mental and physical, for their well-being. These types of dogs may get bored and develop problematic behaviors if left to their own devices.
Though Pigeon has not been cat-tested, herding breeds tend to have a high prey drive, so a cat-less home is best. (Slow introduction with a dog-savvy cat may work if you are willing to put the time in.)
