Sweetheart of a Border Collie (f)

Bonnie the Border Collie in Kerry..

Bonnie is nearly a year old and looking for a new home, shes very intelligent, very sweet and affectionate dog to those who know her.

She's very quick to pick up commands, and knows lie down, stop, go, come-by and away , fetch, drop, "in" and "out" for cars and doors and is very good on the recall "whistle" and lead trained. Since she was 8 weeks old ive been training her for tasks around the yard and shes very quick to learn and sticks to her routine.

I kept her for a working dog and she simply doesn't have the temper or aggressive nature to work cattle so sadly I cant keep her.

She would make a great pet as shes brilliant with other dogs "raised with 3 other dogs or various ages" and affectionate to people and mad about kids.

Very hard to see her go, but shes not suited to a farm life and she needs a home that has more time for her.
