Assorted BCs There is now
a website
specifically to list working dogs in pounds. If you would consider adopting a
BC direct from a pound, then please have a look. Many dogs die each week in
pounds due to the lack of sufficient good homes. Click

Jazz and Atchy --- (posted 5/9/2011) ---
This is a pair of very attractive classic long-coated BCs in gorgeous
colours. They are being rehomed because the current owner cannot be
home for enough hours of the day, and they are barking at assorted
stimuli in her absence. They can be rehomed separately.
Jazz loves to play and she loves playing with other dogs, or with
people. She would not suit a home with rabbits. Jazz will get out of
the yard if there is a hole in the fence, but she does not jump
fences. She is a happy, self-contained girl.
Atchy is a bit more people focussed, preferring people to other dogs.
He can get stressed if left alone, and a new owner would need to have
plans to manage this.
Both dogs are desexed, fullly vaccinated and on annual heartworm
prevention. For more info on both of these BCs please contact Sarah
Webster on 0418784630.
Archie --- (posted 11/10/2011) --- Archie is a cute boy, but a
bit too reactive for a family with small children. He would suit an
active family that was prepared to give him ongoing training and
management. At 2 he is still really a puppy. Archie is used to a lot
of exercise, and loves swimming best of all. Archie is not always
confident with other dogs, and sometimes he is not pleased to interact
with them. Some ongoing training with positive rewards in the presence
of other strange dogs needs to be continued. Archie has a lot to offer.
For more info on Archie please contact Lucy at smile_cece1@yahoo.com.au
Samson --- (posted 14/10/2011) ---
Samson is a very clever and playful boy. He
fetches beautifully on land and water, shakes, sits, lays and obeys
when told to come and he responds to the words "this way" if he needs to
be diverted. Samson loves the dog park and for years, loved to herd and
chase other dogs for fun. He always respected those dogs and gave them
the space they themselves preferred. He has a problem with bouncy playful
dogs. and little fluffy ones or puppies. He tells them to leave him
alone in an aggressive way. This aspect of Samsons personality needs
management, and he might be able to have his confidence increased when
dealing with bouncy enthusiastic dogs.
Samson also mouths legs
when he wants you to stay in the yard with him, as a way of herding
you, although never in an aggressive way and never hurts.
Samson is not very interested in children, but has tolerated the
toddlers in his family well, and will give them a sniff or a lick if
they want to interact. He has always been very gentle with them.
Samson likes to snuggle into your neck when asked for a
cuddle and you receive a beautiful warm cuddle. He is in great health
He doesnt bark much. He is an absolutely beautiful boy.

Sammy --- (posted 14/11/2011) ---
Sammy is approximately 6-7 years old, desexed, male border collie x. He
is predominantly white with black and brown markings including a very
fetching patch over his left eye. Sammy has been with my family for
four years since we adopted him.
Since we took him on he has progressed several levels at behavioural
training, he has a novice jumping title and has two clear rounds in
novice agility. With the right new owner Sammy would be a great dog to
continue agility training as he is very attentive, quick to learn and
very mobile. He competes in the 500mm category. I am very sadly giving
him up for adoption because we have an 19 month old little boy who is
walking/running around and Sammy does not tolerate children at all. He
has been socialised with other dogs previously and usually with some
success, particularly dogs that are smaller than him or not at all
threatened by him. He has not been exposed to cats so I would not try.
He needs two walks a day, he loves car rides, chasing a ball or hoop
or frisbee. Likes swimming too.
Sammy comes with his portable crate, dog bed, harness, muzzle,
balls, toys etc. I will also pass over details of his NSW dog
registration so you can continue competing with him.
Sammy is a devoted dog, who needs to be carefully managed. In the
right home he and you will be very happy.
Please contact me on my email or mobile if you would like to know
more or meet Sammy. Can send pictures.

Eartha --- (posted 17/11/2011) ---
Meet Eartha. She is a petite four-year-old border collie with a very
gentle nature. She was adopted by our family last year and is very
loving and sweet. She needs a home with very secure fencing, and
where she can either be with people who have time to intensively
house-train her or are happy to have her as an outside dog. She is
extremely patient and gentle with young children, but we have not been
able to stop her from jumping up on visitors in excitement. She is a
sweetie and will make someone a great and loving pet. We are in
Albury, NSW. 02 60259868
Chloe --- (posted 1/12/2011) ---
Chloe is a very attractive classically marked girl with a long smooth
coat. She's a very intelligent, gentle dog. She is in good health &
has no vices.
Chloe loves people, including children. She is cautious with
strangers initially, but warms to them quickly. She has done
very well at dog training over the last two years. Chloe's
family just don't have the time to spend with her, and they
want her to have a home that does. Chloe is desexed amd with her vet
work up to date. Her only issue is Collie nose - a condition involving loss
of pigmentation on the nose. This means that she always must have
sunblock on her nose, or she will suffer badly in the sun, even in
short doses. To find out some more info about Chloe please contact
Phil on 0419 159 541
Baxter --- (posted 7/2/2012) ---
Baxter is a gorgeous 6 yo boy who is very much loved at home, but
who isn't social with small children. He is seeking a new home where
he will be managed in the presence of small children, or will not have
to be exposed to them.
Baxter is desexed and up to date with all his vaccinations, etc. He has
completed training and is obedient on commands, such as sit, drop, on
your bed, heel, outside, 'dance' etc. He is walked daily, loves any
form of action (car rides,
walks, runs, chasing tennis balls, other stimulating activates) and is
very obedient. For more info on Baxter please contact Aaron on 0435
963 919. Baxter will bring with him his bed and kennel and his
favourite toys.
