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
lachlanbrown97@hotmail.com
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
Nutmeg and Lucy --- (posted 26/1/2026) ---
Nutmeg and Lucy are looking for a new home together, as they are the
best of friends. Nutmeg is an 8yo pedigree brown and white girl, and Lucy is a
7yo black and white girl. Both of them are very happy, friendly, and
affectionate; wonderful around people; well-mannered and well-trained and used
to being part of a family. They are loyal, intelligent, and full of
personality.
They would suit a home where they can stay together and continue to be
loved as much as they are now. Ideally, we're hoping for someone with
experience with Border Collies (or active dogs), and space for them to
enjoy life.
This is not a decision we've taken lightly - our priority is finding
them a safe, loving, and stable home where they’ll be truly cherished.
If you or someone you trust might be able to offer Nutmeg and Lucy the
home they deserve, please reach out or share this post. We're very
happy to answer questions and chat with potential adopters.
For more info on this pair please contact Mark at matthewsmar@icloud.com
Chai --- (posted 13/3/2026) ---
Chai is a beautiful border collie who will be 4yrs old in August. He
is full of energy and very affectionate.
He doesn't like balloons and reflections. He could probably use some
positive reinforcement training to build up his confidence. He loves
a walk. He has had
training but needs more. He has grown up in a household with kids, and he has
been very playful. For more info on Chai please contact Surmila at
surmila115@gmail.com
