GUIDO Border Collie Mix Chesapeake, VA

Guido is a big, beautiful Border Collie cross. He is now going on 5 years old and around 75 pounds. He would be happy as the only dog (he prefers it) that way he gets all the attention.
As for playtime.... Guido loves playing with balls, toys, and water hoses. He hasn’t had a lot of leash training being in the country; however, he does do well on a leash. It doesn’t take long to get him to remember what is expected of him on the leash. He is very intelligent. He will need a daily dose of an energy burning activity... fetch is one of his favorites, even jumping into the pool in pursuit of an
overthrown ball. He does love to swim.
Guido can be reactive around pushy or large dogs, so his playtime should be in a fenced yard and only with dogs he feels comfortable with. NO dog park exercising for him with all those unfamiliar canine personalities running around.
Guido is kind of picky about who he wants to live with. He prefers the company of adult people. He isn't crazy about youngsters. Therefore, he will be considered for adult-only homes. In addition, he isn't fond of cats, chickens or pushy big dogs. He has more of an alpha personality towards other dogs.
So, he would be best in a household without these as well. If your family situation fits this, consider yourself one of the lucky candidates for this attention loving guy.
Guido is ready for a family that he can slather with love and attention and who wants to reciprocate the attention. But most importantly, his family needs to be versed and comfortable providing structure, leadership, and positive reinforcement training.
Guido is house trained, crate trained, neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative and up to date on shots and preventatives. He is being fostered by the Atlantic Region Central Border Collie Rescue in VA Beach. If you would like more information about Guido, you can email hallhavenfarm@gmail.com or you
