Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Kody’s DOB is 09/15. He is a male Border Collie, Germ Shepherd Dog mix. Kody was adopted from BCIN as a puppy, and was recently returned to BCIN.
Kody responds to basic commands of sit, down, heel, and come, even from 40 yards away. Kody is super smart and he is a candidate for Rally O or advanced trick training. He is treat motivated and will work for them. He can jump over a pole or through a hoop (his command is to “jump”) and knows how to play dead (command is “bang” with a finger pointing to him). He can shake with both left and right paws, and raises his front paws to “sit pretty”. He also can roll over (left and right_ spins around (left and right_ backs up with the command “back, back”. He can bark on command to “bark”. Kody’s passion is to retrieve balls and catch Frisbees. One of Kody’s favorite games is to play “pick” where you hide a treat in one of your hands. He will sniff each hand, one at a time. When you give him the command “pick”, he will put his paw on the hand that he thinks has the treat. If he guesses correctly, he gets the treat.
Kody is house trained and also crate trained. He minds the house rules and respects rooms that are off-limits, in addition to staying off beds. He loves to chew on Nyla Bones and will go and get one when he is not involved in an activity.
Kody had regularly attended doggie day care and likes to be around other medium to large dogs. However, Kody is more friendly off leash than on. Kody can often be aloof with people. Kody is well behaved at bath time and good about trimming his nails. Kody is also a water baby. Kody is a very active dog that will require a higher level of daily activity. He will also require a lot of mental stimulation. Kody is strong willed, and requires a very experienced owner. Kody like to travel, and he is very loyal, in which sometimes he can be protective. Therefore, he will not be placed in a home with children.
If you are interested in meeting our dogs, please fill out an adoption application. We require a pre-approved application to be on file before any meet and greets are scheduled. The electronic application can be found on our website at http://www.bordercolliesinneed.org/border_collie_rescue_and_adoptions/adoption_application.html
