Oliver

Oliver is a smooth collie mix who was born on January 4, into a litter of 10.

His father was a short-haired merle collie and his mother was a collie-pharaoh hound mix.

He was originally adopted at the too-young age of 4 weeks and has grown into a gorgeous 90+ pound bundle of energy.

At 18 months, he is still very much a puppy....a BIG all of a puppy's affection, playfulness as well as unbridled energy.

While Ollie loves to cuddle, play fetch, tug of war and run around with other big dogs, sometimes he can also be somewhat grabby and quite protective.

Ollie was neutered at 6 months and is fully house-trained.

He is very, very smart and knows basic commands having worked with two trainers.

Oliver needs a very active and engaging home life.

He requires a yard with lots of space so he can run around to burn off his still-puppy energy.

He could probably be trained to be a great agility or working farm dog.

Oliver absolutely requires a physically and mentally strong person who is willing to devote the necessary time to continue his training.

This individual needs to be an exceptionally savvy dog person who is motivated to work with Ollie to make him into a great companion.

Because of Oliver's size and energy, he will not be adopted into a household with cats, small dogs or children under the age of 16.

We have many wonderful collies awaiting adoptive homes.
