Beethoven is a truly beautiful puppy. He definately has Border Collie in him, but there may be a touch of something else ~ Jack Russell, Spitz, Terrier.... Who knows. But he sure is a cutie. Smart too. When I was creating his webpage I put down that he isn't housetrained since he was just 11 weeks old, but then I checked the information sent by his foster and lo and behold, he is not only crate trained but housetrained too! Gosh, whenever I foster a puppy they're NEVER housetrained. I gotta switch breeds!
We received Beethoven and his littermates via the Southeast Border Collie Rescue, who originally rescued their momma. Because they are a breed rescue, they have found that they are most successful at placing pure breds. It isn't that they object to mix breeds, it is just that the people who come to them are not interested in mixes. So Jerri asked Judy if we could find a home for these pumpkins. No problem! We find that our supporters are more open to breeds and generally prefer mixes (that is a whole nother lecture that I won't get into now).
According to his foster, Beethove is "perfect." Not to say that she would ever pick favorites, but..... She says his only draw back is that he doesn't like to be picked up and is too fast to catch! Too cute!!! Remember, he is part Border Collie, so he is smart and energetic. If your idea of a work out is walking over to the TV to change the channel rather than using the remote, this is not the dog for you. I have a few that might be perfect, but Beethove isn't among them. But if you love to be outside tossing a ball, have I got the dog for you!!!
We anticipate that Beethoven will be neutered and ready for his forever home by mid-September.

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Border Collie originated in Northumberland on the Scottish/English border. The breed is descended from old British droving breeds with some spaniel added. An outstanding herder, this hardy, agile, untiring sheepdog, is capable of mastering any type of herd. It is said that the Border Collie has an eye that can hypnotize cattle. He crouches down and mesmerizes the animals with its intense stare. One of the most trainable breeds, the Border Collie also serves well as a narcotics and bomb detection dog and is a frequent high performer in obedience, agility, Frisbee(TM) trials, police work, search & rescue, Flyball, performing tricks and competitive obedience. Some Border Collies have been trained very successfully as blind guide dogs. Currently very good results are obtained with them for general assistance to the handicapped in The Netherlands. The Border Collie is a very intelligent and responsive dog. They thrive on praise, are sensitive and very trainable. The Border Collie is highly energetic with great stamina. Provided it gets sufficient activity to keep it occupied and ample exercise, the Border Collie will get along quite happily with other dogs, and children, however the Border Collie may be aggressive with other dogs of the same sex. They should not be trusted with small non-canine pets, however there are plenty of Border Collies that live and get along with family cats. This breed should be very well socialized as a puppy to prevent shyness. To be truly happy, it needs a lot of: ongoing attention, extensive daily exercise, and a job to do. For those who wish to reach high levels in dog sports, the Border Collie is a gift from heaven. Farmers (for whom the dogs perform work for which they were bred) are also happy with them. It is not surprising that at competitive levels in various sports such as: agility skills, obedience, and sheepdog trials, the Border Collie is represented among the leaders in the sport. They are perfectionist with a permanen
