After a couple of weeks in the shelter and 2 weeks at his saviors home, 2 of the 3 were flown to Boston and Reach now being fostered in CT.
Reach is a sweet boy with a lot on his agenda. He is very active and wants to do something with his new found life. He is learning how wonderful people are. He is a typical high energy Border Collie. He gets along with all dogs including the grumpy old BC and the Pomeranian in his foster home. He loves to play with his foster mom's Cattledog and English Shepherd. He has a good recall so he can go on fun off leash hikes. He is house trained and crate trained and has good crate manners. He is learning house manners such as not counter surfing. He loves to play with toys and have bones to chew on. He particularly likes annoying squeaker toys :-)
Since coming to CT, he has learned a recall, sit and wait in his crate before coming out, sit and wait for meals, not to jump on or over baby gates, not to counter surf (sometimes he forgets this though), to settle in the house and has been introduced to the clicker and to offer behaviors for treats.
Reach has been to an agility trial and within 3 minutes of arriving, he was tugging on his favorite toy even with all the action and distractions in the building. He also played with a ball for the first time at the trial. He doesn't have any noise sensitivities or over stimulation by motion.
Reach has a lot of drive and a lot to offer. He measures around 19 inches and weighs about 30lbs. He's got a little filling out to do but he shouldn't get much bigger.
He hasn't been tested on sheep yet but that can be arranged.
The name Reach comes from sailing terms. It's the fastest way to travel
