Western Border Collie Rescue -

"Panda" -- adopted March 2010

Do you love a double extra dynamo full of go go go?? Well, that's ME! Hi, my name is Panda, and I don't do ANYTHING half-heartedly! I am a Border Collie/Australian Cattle Dog mix - and a very sensitive and perceptive one at that. I am just barely a year old and am still finding out about the world - and wow, what an incredible place it is! The best part of it all so far is that I had the good luck to land in rescue. Whew!! Last year I was bought as a puppy by some nice folks. but I grew up into a high energy, super intelligent fella and kinda turned into a LOT more than they could handle. So they called WBCR, and here I am!

It should come as no surprise that I am a very busy fella, or that I really enjoy playing with my doggy pals, but believe it or not, my #1 favorite is PEOPLE. Ugga, I can't help myself, I LOVE them! If it looks like a human might have some attention to spare for me, I turn into total mush. And if people get down on my level, I'm unable to resist hopping into their laps for some lovin'. Guess that makes me a cuddlebug, huh?

I'm housetrained, cratetrained, and haven't gotten into anything in the house I’m not supposed to. I also know a few of the basics, like sit and lie down. But if there's a lot of things going on - like dogs playing nearby, fast movements, or something is new - I sometimes fall apart. It's just tooooo exciting! Then I can't help but bark and - get this! - I was taught to jump on the couch till told what to do next!! Because I am so easily overstimulated, a home without kids - and one who can teach me how to keep a level head and respond appropriately when excited - are tops on my New Home Wish List.

I would also love a home that has experience with herding breeds and who can help build my confidence through reward-based training and continue exposing me to all the world's wonders, too. It's a pretty amazing place out there, and if you are looking for a super sharp pup to appreciate it with - I might just be the guy for you!

Panda is neutered and fully vetted, and living in a loving foster home near Denver, CO.
