Batman to the rescue! Batman is a very cute, very happy, very smart 8-month-old Border Collie mix. We know that his mom is a purebred Border Collie, and based on his looks we think dad is a Heeler, Cattle Dog or even a Jack Russell (the ears give it away!). Batman is not a big guy - he is leggy and actually a few pounds overweight at 27 pounds. He is housebroken, crate-trained, rides nicely in the car and knows a few basic obedience commands – he is a fast learner. He still pulls on the leash a bit.
Batman absolutely loves people and has never met a stranger. He is a medium-to-high Velcro guy who loves to explore his yard but who also stays within eye and earshot of his foster family. His foster mom has started him in agility classes and he is a natural. He is smart, food-motivated and a natural athlete. Batman loves other dogs, approaching respectfully, and then he is off and running for a good game of “chase and be chased”! Batman is a medium-to-high energy dog with an off switch. He loves those chase games, loves agility, but when playtime is over he settles nicely, either near his humans (he is a great snuggler) or in his crate. Batman is not a fan of cats and he is still too much of a bouncy puppy for small children.
Batman’s ideal home is an active one, with a family who is dog-savvy, enjoys training and is interested in the kinds of activities usually associated with herding dogs. A fenced yard is important, and he would love a playful dog pal. Children over the age of 10 would be fine with him. Looking for a young dog full of fun? Looking for an agility ace?
