PUNKIES
Meet Mr Punkies!!!! Punkies is a 3 year old, 40lb male border collie mix. If you’re thinking he doesn’t look like a border collie, you’re 97% correct. Punkies is a Heinz 57 mix but is 46% herding dog(sheepdog, collie, aussie, cattle dog, border collie, german shepherd!). We had him DNA tested. His other top breeds are Husky, Terrier and Elkhound. All these breeds created a very goofy personality in a small package. He definitely likes to herd the other dogs and is very talkative. He is very entertaining at times too. Kind of a little clown dog.
He is wary of new people but will warm up quickly. We think he was likely abused in his past life but still wants to trust. He’s a cuddly guy and will seek out attention. He’s learning to play with toys and he’s learning how to play with other dogs. He lives with 2 other border collies and a German Shepherd. He’s about medium energy so is not over the top like a border collie. He is very herdy so little kids are probably not the best idea. He will need at least a 4ft fence and he requires a physical fence and decent sized yard to run around in. He’s crate trained but will protest, especially if he knows you’re home. Overall he really is a fun little guy who continues to settle in and be more of himself the longer we have him.
Punkies is neutered, up to date on shots & on tick & flea preventives! If you would like more information on Punkies you can email mcclellanka@gmail.com or apply to adopt below.
