Border Collie / Mixed (medium coat) : : Female (spayed) : : Baby : : Medium Learn more about the Border Collie.
Age: 3 months (DOB 10/16/2020)
Weight: all puppies in litter between 16.7-22.7 lbs. (as of 1/2/2021) This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Meet San Antonio, one of the five puppies in the Lonestar litter!
These pups are about 3 months old and look to be Border Collie mixes. There are three females (Houston, San Antonio, and Austin) and two males (Dallas and Denver) in the litter. Their mom was found pregnant and taken in by a senior couple, and we're now looking for homes for her five sweet babies.
The Lonestar puppies have been in their foster home since birth, living in a generally quiet household with some other dogs and cats. San Antonio loves chasing and wrestling with her brothers and sisters.
Like most young puppies, San Antonio is affectionate and playful, but will need help learning basic training skills. She'll need to be in a home with human(s) who can take the time to practice house manners, including house-, crate- and leash training. We'd recommend group training classes, ideally starting within the first 60 days of bringing San Antonio home, so that she can get into a good training routine right away. Puppy classes are a great way to reinforce the skills and commands that you're practicing at home, with the added bonus of some extra socialization time with other dogs! San Antonio seems to be very intelligent and eager to please -- two traits that typically add up to a trainable and obedient dog.
In addition to training, San Antonio will need a good amount of daily exercise (ideally 1-2 hours per day) and mental stimulation. She'll be a great companion for walks, running around in the yard, or taking a trip to the dog park -- she does well in the car and would be up for tagging along on some adventures! San Antonio would also love a variety of fun toys to play with, including squeaky toys, brain-teaser puzzle toys, and some chew toys, especially while she's teething in her puppy stage.
A tired dog is a happy dog! At the end of a fun-filled day, San Antonio will be happy to curl up with her new family and relax.
