Hi everyone, I am the intelligent Ollie and here's some info about me:

Age: 8
Breed: Border Collie
Weight: 18 kg
Height: 24.5 inches
Male (neutered)

Like most Border Collies,  I like playing catch, any agility type activities, rolling around in the grass, and appreciate having my own space at home. I usually prefer to initiate greetings with people myself. When new people approach me suddenly, I get a bit of a fright, but I'll be affectionate once you get to know me.

Sometimes I guard my food and can react towards some dogs when walking on leash, so I would need a little help and patience while I learn to trust other people and dogs. I have nipped at someone in the past and had a near miss with an attempted bite recently as I guarded my food. Since I am a border collie, I pride myself in learning fast and I do even better when I receive praise. A trainer has already helped me with introductions to new people and I no longer feel I have to guard my food as much as I have in the past, staying calm when adults walk by when I'm eating. Unpredictable behaviour however still gets to me, so I would not be suitable for a household with children.

An adoption fee of $100 applies.
