2 Border Collie x Golden Retriever puppies left in Cork, looking for a good home

We have a delightful litter of puppies for sale, a crossbreed between a Border Collie and a Golden Retriever, located in Castletownbere.

These puppies, born on August 31, 2025, are currently 8 weeks old and are ready to find their forever homes. We have two males available: one solid black and one black and white. Both puppies have been vaccinated and wormed, ensuring they are healthy and well-cared for.

Border Collies are known for their intelligence and high energy levels, making them excellent companions for active families or individuals. Golden Retrievers are renowned for their friendly disposition and loyalty, which complements the Border Collie's characteristics beautifully. This crossbreed is likely to inherit the best traits from both parents, resulting in a friendly, intelligent, and trainable dog that thrives on companionship and exercise. We want the potential buyers to be able to provide a good home for these pups
