Daphne Border Collie & Golden Retriever Mix Bakersfield, CA

Meet Daphne: Your Perfect, Playful Companion

Daphne is an 18-month-old Border Collie and Golden Retriever mix who is as beautiful as she is affectionate. Saved from the brink of euthanasia at an overcrowded shelter, this sweet girl has been searching for her forever home for months. Despite her long wait, Daphne remains an outgoing, confident, and incredibly loving dog.

Daphne is a dream when it comes to training. She is solidly crate trained, doing amazingly well in her crate, and she's fully potty trained. She adores going for walks and thrives on the affection and attention she receives from her human friends. Her bright personality and trainability make her an excellent companion who is always eager to please.

But there's one unique trait that has made Daphne's adoption journey a bit challenging. Daphne has a special talent that is both incredible and a little tricky—she was born with spring-loaded legs that allow her to jump six feet without a running start. While this makes her an extraordinary athlete, it also means she can easily clear most fences, presenting a bit of a challenge for her new home.

However, this doesn't diminish her potential to be an amazing pet. In fact, we believe that with the right approach, Daphne's jumping ability can be managed and even enjoyed. We're committed to supporting Daphne's adopter with professional training to ensure she stays safe and happy. Instead of discouraging her natural talent, we encourage jumping as a fun trick and in play. Daphne has even been trained to jump up into your arms on command—how cool is that?

We believe Daphne would thrive best in a city home without a backyard where she might be tempted to test her jumping skills over the fence. With her incredible personality, affectionate nature, and unique talent, Daphne is ready to bring joy and excitement to a loving family.

If you're looking for an extraordinary companion who will keep you entertained and fill your life with love, Daphne is the perfect match. Come meet Daphne and see just how amazing she truly is!
