About this Dog
Ernie is a 4 year old Border Collie who was found stray when he was approximately 2 1/2 years old and was adopted by the persons who found him. However, Ernie is not comfortable with the young child in the home, and his owners want to find him a forever home where he will not be around young children. If you want more information about Ernie, please e-mail his owner at [email protected]. Ernie is a larger BC at 55 pounds, and has good house manners, rides nicely in the car, and likes his crate. He is fine with other dogs; it is not known how he would react to cats. As mentioned, small children make him anxious and he displays a variant of herding behavior that includes nipping. This nipping is likely a sign of stress and Ernie would do well with an experienced BC owner who could address this stress and the nipping behavior. Ernie has nipped a friend of the family in what could be considered a bite: skin was not broken, but Ernie needs to learn behaviors that do not involve his use of teeth. He is intelligent, active, and trainable. His owners say this about Ernie: Ernie is a wonderful dog who loves to play with other dogs and snuggle. He is energetic but tires out with exercise, a visit to the dog park, or a walk. He loves routine and appreciates consistent walks every day. He does very well with his commands and doesn't mind spending time in his crate or going on car rides. Ernie does have strong herding/nipping behavior and, unfortunately, it seems that he exhibits more of this with small children.If you can offer Ernie a home without small children, he has the potential to be a wonderful companion. Please contact his owner at the above e-mail.
