Skye

Adorable Skye is an energetic, beautiful two year old black and white border collie mix who learns quickly and loves nothing better than to please. She uses her soft feet gently to give you high five, get a well-deserved hug or enjoy a belly rub. A few of her favorite things are loads of exercise, plenty of hugs and petting, chasing toys and playing with her companion canines. This 36 lb girl bundle of very high energy either needs a job, someone extremely active and/or someone willing to spend time understanding how to keep this gorgeous, loving and strong headed girl challenged. Skye is obedient, does well in her crate and sleeps quietly on her bed at night inside with five other dogs. Skye would make an excellent herding dog OR agility girl but again, requires someone with experience. She does get along with most dogs but occasionally dislikes a particular pet for no apparent reason. In a home with another dog, she would do best if with a dog that had a lower energy level than she does. She does NOT like cats and she prefers women. Skye has developed good ground manners that need to be continued and reinforced. With a strong prey drive, small pets like squirrels will be challenged should they find themselves in her space. Ms. Skye does love nothing better than the healthy chase of any prey..a cat, squirrel, bird, etc.. For this reason, Skye will need a fenced yard. The successful adopter will have a job for Skye, a safe secure fenced in area and/or some experience with highly active border collies or herding breeds who need a job. Although Ms. Skye loves her walks and thoroughly enjoys her human, it is nearly impossible for her to expend all her energy without hours of exercise. Skye enjoys an indoor / outdoor lifestyle where she can learn, be challenged, get plenty of exercise and hang out with human and canine companions, etc.
