Border Collie looking for a new home

For sale: a delightful male Border Collie puppy, located in Wexford. This striking black and white puppy is full of affection and ready to become a cherished member of your family. At nearly 10 months old, he has been vaccinated and wormed, ensuring a healthy start to his life with you. He would love a rural setting or an active family.

Bailey is house and crate trained, he's great with children and other dogs. Used to cats but will give chase if they run and won't hurt them, just wants to play. It's heart-breaking that we need to find him a new home but due to health reasons (my own; not Baileys) we have no other option. He loves to play fetch, go for walks, will do basic commands (sit, lay, paw) and is such a fast learner. He loves his food, lots of cuddles and praise. A little weary at first but doesn't take long to warm up to people. He's in perfect health and up to date with flea, worm and vaccine.
