Adopt Jasper

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 6 months

Meet Jasper, a beautiful young male Collie just under a year old, full of potential and a real zest for life. He is a striking black and white boy with bright, intelligent eyes, everything you would expect from a true working Collie. Jasper is a very people focused boy who thrives on connection. He wants to be with you, work with you and learn alongside you. He will build a strong bond and enjoys being part of daily life. Jasper is exactly what a working Collie should be, clever, driven, active and always thinking. Because of this, he is not suited to a typical pet home. He needs purpose, structure and someone who understands how to channel his mind. Without this, like many Collies, he can quickly become overwhelmed and too much for the wrong home. He is working hard on his learning and shows huge potential. He responds brilliantly to engagement and will absolutely thrive with someone committed to training and building a proper working relationship with him. Jasper can be sensitive to fast moving things such as bikes, joggers and traffic. This is something he is working through and will need continued, knowledgeable handling, not avoidance or frustration. He is a happy, affectionate boy who loves people, but he needs the right people. A rural or semi rural home is essential, along with space and an understanding of the breed. Collie experience is strongly preferred, this is not a learn as you go type of dog unless you are fully committed. Jasper is not difficult, he is simply a true working Collie in need of the right outlet. In the right hands, he will be an incredibly loyal, intelligent and rewarding companion.
