BC - Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Troy, Missouri

BC stands for border collie because that's what BC looks like, but we also know he has other breeds in the mix. He is a handsome and smart fellow who is the biggest puppy of all and has maintained this status all along. We can't wait to see what he looks like when he is full grown.

Despite being the biggest, he does not use his size to dominate any of his littermates. He also is not super duper active - often remaining very chill. He is very playful and fun loving and often leads the zoomies around the others, with many chasing him. He is athletic and also quick to open a bag of dog food if it is in his reach. He is no dummy and likes to eat. He will be very food motivated when it comes to training.

His mom's DNA is all that we know. Mom is mostly Australian Shepherd with Labrador and some terrier with a dash of Rottweiler and cocker spaniel. Dad was a traveling man - and we know nothing about him. I'm going to guess based on a few of the floppy ears that some have German shepherd and perhaps a little border collie. (No one looks like the other, but maybe BC looks most like his dad!!) The kids should be between 45-60 pounds.

All the puppies have been socialized since they were born. having been found on Day 2 and arriving at the Sanctuary on Day 4. The mom is sweet and friendly and was abandoned with other dogs. (All were rescued.) BC is utd on all shots, wormed, microchipped and spayed. He will need his rabies shot at 16 weeks.

The Australian Shepherd is a highly intelligent and energetic herding dog known for its loyalty and work ethic. Originating in the United States, despite its name, this breed is prized for its agility, trainability, and versatility in various dog sports and activities. Australian Shepherds have a distinctive medium length coat that comes in different colors, often with unique merle patterns. With proper training, socialization, and exercise, these dogs make excellent companions for active families and individuals seeking a devoted and playful four legged friend.
