Meet Tallie:
Tallie is a resilient older puppy Border Collie with a powerful drive, a unique personality, and a huge heart. This heavy-coated girl is ready to find her forever partner—someone who understands her potential and is ready to give her a job to do.
Her Story:
While Talim wasn't a match for diabetic alert work, we discovered her true passion is scent detection with allergens like peanut butter and gluten. She is extremely level-headed, social with other dogs and people, and has a strong desire to please. Her focus and drive would make her an incredible candidate for a career in scent work, or for an active home that loves training and competing in dog sports like Agility or Fast CAT.
Tallie is a seasoned traveler and exceptionally well-socialized. She is great with loud sounds, having been exposed to everything from dirt bikes and gunfire to sounds of WW I and WW II. She's been on long car rides to BC Nationals, Florida, Kentucky, and Missouri. She's visited the mountains, the beach, and even went to a Fourth of July fireworks show without a flinch—she was more interested in a nearby hot dog! While she tolerates kids, she's not a fan, so a home without young children would be the best fit for her.
Tallie is a bundle of energy who loves to play hard and is great at puzzle games. She will settle down at night to cuddle and watch a movie. She is crate-trained, but she does prefer to eat alone and will need her new owner to respect her space during mealtime. She is not for breeding, as she is outside the breed standard for height, and will be placed on a spay contract. While she sometimes plays "keep away" with a ball, she has the foundation to be a fantastic teammate with a little more training.
Goes Home With: A detailed file including her health records, parents' health info, and a 3-generation pedigree. She is microchipped and AKC registered.
Puppy Bag: Her extensive puppy bag includes five days of food, basic grooming supplies, toys, a blanket, her big lamb chop toy, a slip lead, and more.
