About Blake...
Blake is a sweet boy who loves attention and affection. He is the first to come and give you a huge hug and never stops wagging his tail. Blake has come to us as a failed farm collie so has never lived indoors and is in need of an experienced collie owner. He will need an owner that can help him transition into a house dog, he is clean in his kennel but can be destructive with his blankets and toys sometimes but he is learning new things quickly, and has already got the hang of fetch and its now his favourite game. Blake is a typical working collie and has bags of energy and a smart brain that needs to be put to use. He is ok with other dogs but can get over excited and nip. He is learning to walk on lead and is strong but learning fast, like a lot of collies on a walk he will lay flat down and watch traffic as they pass. He has the traits of a working sheep dog so will nip feet if you run or play with him. We feel he would be more suited to a rural home with limited traffic, we feel he would find living in city or built up areas quite stressful, a home with children over 12 years and with people who have the time and dedication to help him become an amazing boy.
