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
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
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
Pepper --- (posted 29/1/2026) ---
Pepper is a desexed short haired B/W border collie. She is 6 yr old.
She has a beautiful personality, great with kids and adults, and she
has a decent recall.
Pepper loves playing with buckets and balls.
Unfortunately due to the addition of toddlers and moving of house she
can't get the exercise and space she needs. For more info and
any enquires email sophiemcg95@gmail.com
Brutus, Diamond and Meeka --- (posted 24/2/2026) ---
Due to an unfortunate situation a family is trying to rehome three
young BC girls, preferably together.
Brutus (Yes, a black and white girl - lovingly named as a pup) due to being the biggest in the
litter and at the time we were considering giving all the pups new
homes but our daughter took to Brutus so deeply that we kept her. At
this point she knew her name so we kept it.
Brutus is the best dog anyone could get.
She's beyond loving, submissive, well behaved and obeys when she’s
called, she can walk off lead around the property and won't run off.
However, if the other dogs take off she sometimes follows but will
always be the first to come back.
She's adorable and loves affection.
Diamond is another black and white pup, we tried to sell Diamond 2 times as a pup but
her beautiful nature of being timid and very loving meant that we
found the 2 options were not suitable for her.
One had a dog that was intimidating her from first sighting and the
other was very strict and Diamond has a heart that just wants love.
She can be a boss lady too when she's confident enough.
Diamond likes to lead, she has to be ahead of the other dogs when
walking or she tends to pull to be in front.
Meeka (tricolour) the mum is socially awkward.
She has been like this as a pup.
She's a bit overweight so could do with lots of exercise.
She will have trouble bonding with a new owner so with all of them
it's going to take someone with time, patience and not easily offended
to win their trust, especially Meeka.
For more info on these girls please contact Margaret at
