Tchoupi

Border Collie · Male · Adult · 6 years

Tchoupi is a dynamic and intelligent Border Collie who needs time to build trust. Very playful and always eager for new challenges, he loves stimulating activities—both physical and mental. He may exhibit resource guarding as well as stereotypies, which calls for a patient, compassionate, and experienced approach. Tchoupi will thrive in a home without children, with an owner who is familiar with the breed and able to provide him with exercise that matches his energy level and positive training methods to help him manage his unique traits. Tchoupi has an excellent recall and a solid foundation in basic obedience. A stable environment and reassuring interactions will be essential for building a strong bond with this endearing and lively companion.

Tchoupi est un Border Collie dynamique et intelligent, qui a besoin de temps pour accorder sa confiance.

Tchoupi s’épanouira dans un foyer sans enfant, auprès d’une personne connaissant bien la race, capable de lui offrir une dépense adaptée à son énergie et une éducation positive pour l’aider à gérer ses particularités. Tchoupi à un très bon rappel et de bonnes bases d'éducation.

About Tchoupi

What life with Tchoupi looks like

Tchoupi is a adult border collie dog waiting at SPA Beaurepaire-en-Bresse in Beaurepaire.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tchoupi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tchoupi?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Beaurepaire-en-Bresse handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tchoupi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tchoupi if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Beaurepaire-en-Bresse will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Tchoupi already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Tchoupi isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with SPA Beaurepaire-en-Bresse early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tchoupi and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
