Ellie is 9 month old and had already 4 homes. Now you might wonder why... Well, to be honest, I am still wondering it.
This dog is just lovely. She is good with other dogs and children. She has a brilliant recall and is very obedient. She just wants to please. She is desperate to please.
She is very slight build and light on her feet.

She really is a lovely dog and I cannot fault her. If my circumstances were different at the moment, I would be truly tempted to keep her.
Ellie must have been told off in the past, so when you raise your voice she goes in submission and wees. But I am sure she will overcome this with time. She is already much more confident than she was when she came here.

Ellie is very playful with other dogs. She is like a puppy and just wants to play nonstop. So if there is another dog in the household, it needs to be able to "keep up" with her.
She would love doggy company. She works lovely for food and slowly discovers toys.

My son ran her in an Agility lesson, just to see if she likes it and though she was bewildered of the new environment she tried her best for him and did quite well. Wasn't scared of any of the equipment.

The person adopting her needs to be gentle and needs to understand that she needs a bit time to gather confidence, but already she starts to behave like a proper collie and coming out of her shell.

She is a smashing dog, really!

If you are interested, please get in touch with Gill at the Border Collie Spot.

Thanks for your time!
