Cooper --- (posted 6/7/2024) ---
Cooper is a 2.5 yo old, desexed male Border Collie. My wife bought
him as a semi-retirement dog for herself but has been working 7 days a week for most
of the past year.
He is a lovely dog and has had some training and can walk well on
leash. He recently had a
four week intensive "boarding school" training experience and he is
certainly much easier to
manage and very attentive to his humans wishes. He is very
defensive of his food and the breeder says that he was the boss of the
litter in that respect.
There are two smaller, older dogs at home and he gets along well with
them but would like
them to be more playful, same for the cat.
Cooper doesn't spend much time alone at home so he hasn't developed
any boredom
related bad habits.
Our main concern is that if he gets loose from our yard due to human
error he will run up to
people and bark aggressively and we have even seen him grab a truck
driver by his pants
leg. He does not like trucks (recent training has greatly improved his
reaction to vehicles) and also wants to chase scooters and
bicycles which makes us
very nervous. Currently the excitement of freedom overcomes his
training and catching him
can be a strenuous and time consuming activity.
Given that our business commitment look like increasing, we think
Cooper deserves a home
where he can be given the education and attention he needs by people
who know and love
Border Collies. Cooper has not had contact with small children or
sheep so I would be wary
of introducing him to either without close supervision.
I suspect a semi-rural home would suit him beautifully. For more info
on Cooper please contact Peter at petercook474@gmail.com
Dom and Perri --- (posted 30/8/2025) ---
This happy and gorgeous pair of boys are looking for a new home, due to no fault
of their own, but rather and change in situation for their owners. They
love attention and get along really well together. They are very
affection with their people. Both their parents
are successful sheep herding dogs. (Dad is a BC, Mum is a kelpie).
To assist them setting into a new home, they come with a complimentary
initial consultation with Chevron Dog training in Berry, NSW. For more
info on this lovely pair please contact Charmaine at
charmaine.dogs4life@hotmail.com
Buzz --- (posted 14/9/2025) ---
Buzz is a 6yo black & white purebred BC with classic symmetrical
markings. A very handsome & affectionate boy. He loves to wrestle &
play with high energy dogs or pups or people. Loves chasing waves at
the beach. Jumping from rock to rock as instructed. Is good in the car
& on a lead walking. He gets anxious about being groomed & attempts to
bite, therefore needs a confident handler to groom him. He doesn't
roam away from home, we have no fences but we are on a large block of
land in suburbia. We are seeking a new owner for Buzz because he is
reactive & has bitten us on occasion, usually when he is being groomed
or if we attempt to touch him when he is resting. Buzz needs a
confident owner who has time to train him not to be reactive. Up until
recently I have worked from home & he enjoys the company.
Unfortunately due to my new work commitments I won't have much time
with him each day & feel he won't get enough stimulation. He wouldn't
be suited to a family with children as he is reactive to running
children. Would be a loving companion to an experienced handler.

Duke --- (posted 29/9/2025) ---
Duke is a beautiful and unique Border Collie who's looking for his
perfect forever home through Border Collie Rescue. He was born deaf,
which means he sees the world a little differently, but it hasn't
stopped him from being full of life, energy, and love.
He's an incredibly affectionate boy who thrives on cuddles and
connection with his people. When he's with someone he trusts, his
personality shines - playful, energetic, and sometimes a little goofy.
He loves to stay active, and his bright spirit makes him a joy to be
around.
Like many dogs with special needs, Duke requires a patient and
experienced home. He has been dealing with some aggression issues, so
he will need someone committed to working with him in a safe,
structured, and understanding environment. With the right guidance,
his potential is huge.
If you're looking for a companion who will reward your patience with
unconditional love, Duke could be the one. He's not just a dog - he's
a best friend in the making, ready for a new chapter with someone who
understands him. For more info on Duke please contact Lachlan at

Bella --- (posted 29/9/2025) ---
Bella is a desexed female. She is 22 months. Her vaccines are up to
date and she is a physically healthy girl. Bella suffers from high
anxiety and has high reactivity when she leaves her yard. She has been
on Fluoxetine for 6 months. She is reactive to some forms of traffic,
mainly trucks, buses and cars towing trailers, however this has
greatly reduced over the last 6 months due to training which included
de-sensitivity strategies. Bella is also very reactive to most other
dogs. She will lunge, pull, jump and cry when she sees another dog
coming, however she can also walk past a dog and not react at all. She
is very unpredictable. If a dog barks at Bella from behind a fence she
will react, however this has also reduced and she will sit and calm
down when using de-sensitisation strategies.
Bella plays with another family border collie who is 4 years old
without any problems. In fact, she is the submissive one in this
relationship. However, Bella has become aggressive towards our older
border collie (nearly 14 years). Again, this is unpredictable
behaviour, but it usually occurs when her human mum is interacting
with both dogs at the same time. Bella has also been aggressive
towards another family dog, who is a very placid labrador. This has
occurred a few times even with her humans not being present. Bella has
been aggressive towards strange dogs too. She seems to have the
'fight' element of the fight/flight stress response.
Bella sleeps inside in the laundry and will go to her bed when
commanded. When her humans are inside, she likes to be with them. She
has no resource guarding to food or toys. We have always fed the older
dog first and Bella sits patiently waiting for her bowl to be placed
down. She will then wait until given a command to eat. When given the
'wait' command Bella will not go through a doorway until commanded.
She loves playing frisbee and she loves the beach. Bella walks best
with a holtie. She is extremely affectionate with her humans and would
lap up cuddles all day. Bella would need to be the only dog in her new
family and would require patience from her humans who are experienced
with handling high reactivity and aggressive traits in border collies.

Rosie --- (posted 5/10/2025) ---
Rosie is black and white and has an abundance of energy. She loves to
catch balls and fetch things. Rosie would be suited to an acreage as
she had been living on 100 acres prior to us moving into smaller
accommodation.
Rosie struggles with being in a small area hence the need to find a
loving home with acreage. All of Rosie's needles are up to date and she
is in good health. For more info on Rosie please contact Ann at

Max --- (posted 7/10/2025) ---
Max is a beautiful classic black and white boy and he is 4 years old.
He has been abandoned at the kennel where he was staying, quite some
time ago. They are now trying to find him a good new home.
Max wouldn't be suitable
for stock work, as he doesn't like cattle and other large animals but
he is very receptive to training and would make a great agility or
flyball dog.
Max is able to jump moderate fences so proper fencing will be
necessary. Since being with us we have done a lot of work around some
bad habits that he had picked up previously. He is good with running
beside a quad bike and really enjoys going for runs.
He is a very sweet dog and we wanted to give him a chance at finding a
permanent home. For more info on Max please contact Rebecca at
beckfred13@gmail.com
Bo --- (posted 26/10/2025) ---
Bo is a 3 year old black and white female border collie. She's is a
loving dog, great with family and children. She is a typical border
collie - loves park time with fetch, frisbee and long walks. We have
done obedience and some beginner agility training with her which she
loved.
She loves people and gets on well with other dogs generally. She has
shown some reactive behaviour towards some dogs sporadically but it
hasn't been an issue. My ideal would for her to be with a family and
another dog would be a bonus. Personal circumstances is the reason for
looking for a rehome.
For more info on Bo please contact Patricia at patricia.cobh@gmail.com
Pelotita --- (posted 26/10/2025) ---
Pelotita is a friendly dog that likes to play and interact a lot with
her humans. We have two daughters 9 and 5 who have grown up together
with pelotita. Pelotita is their older sister. She has always been the
only dog in the house and she doesn't like when she gets annoyed by
other dogs that sometimes can be too much into her, so then she reacts
with a warning snap.
Pelotita is being regretfully rehomed due to her family relocating internationally.
She is a lovely and loving girl who is on some long-term medication,
but is otherwise a charming companion.
For more info on Pelotita please contact Oscar at
voscarjavier@hotmail.com
Paddy --- (posted 8/11/2025) ---
Paddy is a sweet-natured boy who's
looking for a forever home where
he can feel safe, loved, and
included. With his boundless
energy, Paddy loves chasing a ball
and will happily do so all day long!
Paddy struggles with extreme
anxiety and takes time to adjust to
new people, situations and
environments.
Loud noises and storms are
distressing for him, therefore, it is
essential Paddy has a secure yard,
preferably with access to the
inside, where he can retreat when
frightened.
Paddy would greatly benefit from
the companionship of a confident
dog, which can provide him with
reassurance in unfamiliar
situations.
Once settled, Paddy reveals his
sweet and energetic nature,
showcasing his clumsy, playful side
Due to his anxious nature, Paddy is
not suited for homes with children
or loud, busy environments.
Paddy needs a patient owner who
can provide him with the love and
consistency he needs to feel at
ease.
Paddy is house-trained and good
with other dogs, but not cats.
If you're looking for an energetic,
sensitive companion to brighten
your days, Paddy might just be the
perfect fit! Reach out to me via
messenger for more information
and to arrange a meeting.
For more info on Paddy please contact Caroline at

Jessie --- (posted 13/12/2025) ---
Jessie is loyal and loves attention, she is fully house trained and
likes to sleep inside at night.
She is playful and loves to chase a ball and also a nice pat.
She is fine around other dogs, she has been with my 14yr Jack Rusell
and my niece's border collie since Mum's passing with no issues.
Jessie has been fine around my 8yr old grandson, however does get a
little too excited around boisterous little ones, so I would prefer her
to go to someone without small children, she isn't aggressive around
kids at all, just gets a little too excited and playful.
She is having some anxiety (barking) when left alone atm and I'm
guessing that's because she is missing her human companion and also in
a new home.
Jessie has not had any formal training, but sits on command and shakes
hands. She will escape so the new potential owners would need a
fully fenced yard.
She is honestly a loving and loyal dog and I wish I could keep her but
my work travel and small yard isn't fair on her.
She needs walks and room to play. For more info an Jessie please
contact Louise at Louise@frearson.id.au
Coco --- (posted 22/12/2025) ---
Coco is being regretfully rehomed through no fault of his, there has been a
change in family circumstances.
He is a very sweet, loving and gentle dog. He has a very friendly
nature and enjoys being around people. He understand basic commands
such as sit, come, eat. He responds well to routine and positive
attention.
He absolutely loves affection and enjoys being given attention,
whether that's through playtime, walks, or simply being around people.
He has completed all his vaccinations and is up to date.
