If you’re looking for a pint-sized powerhouse of brains, speed, and heart — Sprite might just be your dream adventure buddy! Approximately 10 months old and 25 pounds.
Sprite is a smol but mighty mix of Border Collie and ACD (confirmed by Embark), and she embodies the best of both worlds: athletic, intelligent, and endlessly curious. At just 8 months old, she’s already fast, agile, and loves to climb, explore, and zoom through life with a big grin.
She’s a toy chaser extraordinaire who hasn’t quite mastered fetch or tug yet, but she’s eager to learn — especially if snacks are involved! Sprite is highly food motivated, quick to pick up new skills, and thrives with regular exercise and mental challenges. She’s crate trained, potty trained, and travels like a pro, though she’s still polishing her indoor manners.
Sprite has great recall on the trail, loves hiking, and yes — she swims (see video)! She adores people and other dogs, though her play style leans toward the rowdy side. She reads other dogs well, but she’ll need continued guidance for polite greetings and managing her barrier reactivity. Because of her high herding drive and enthusiasm, she’s best suited for homes without young kids or cats (chasing is her favorite sport).
Sprite’s ideal home is one that embraces her drive and intelligence — agility, scent work, herding, dock diving… this girl could shine in it all!
If you’re ready to channel all that sparkle into fun, adventure, and teamwork, Sprite will be your most loyal (and speedy!) partner.
Sprite's adoption fee is $350 and includes spay, vaccines and microchip. If you are interested in meeting and possibly adopting Sprite, please complete an adoption application located here:
