My name is Chuy!

Chuy (pronounced chewy) is a 4 1/2yo, 41 lb. border collie mix. As a herding breed dog, is a highly active boy and very strong. Chuy is good with people; he greets everyone with tail wags. He can be vocal, especially when the doorbell rings. 

Chuy will be happiest living in a home with a large fenced backyard where he can run. He’s very energetic and needs lots of exercise and playtime. He is fully house trained, and although he has never been a fan of a closed crate - he will sleep inside one as long as the door is left open. He has basic obedience training and knows commands such as come, sit, stay and paw. He walks well on the leash, pulls a little at the beginning, but after a few sniffs, he walks fine. Chuy will chase cats and squirrels.

Chuy is sensitive to loud noises such as fireworks and alarms. He hasn’t been around young kids. He prefers not to have another dog unless it’s a female. Yes, this boy is a ladies' man - he gets along well with female dogs. He is not aggressive towards male dogs, but he gets jealous when he has to compete for the love of his human with another male dog. He has been around dogs of his size but hasn’t been tested with small dogs. 

He loves to fetch balls, and enjoys doggie dental bones and treats. He enjoys animal crackers and carrots too. His favorite food is ProPlan Shredded Chicken with a side of either Blue’s Country Chicken Stew or Beyond Chicken and Sweet Potato in gravy cans. 

Chuy will make a wonderful addition to an active family. He loves car rides, long walks, quiet home environments, and visiting the park.
