My name is Archie!

Archie

Border Collie mix

Male (neuter to be scheduled)

20 weeks, 25 pounds

Archie was born on April 17, 2024, on a farm near North Platte, Neb. His mother was a pure bred border collie, but without a DNA test, it would be anyone’s guess as to what he’s mixed with.

We named him Archie because the mark on his forehead reminded us of the fletching on an archer’s arrow. His foster mom tells us that he’s intelligent and a quick learner, so already has a small vocabulary of commands and we want to find an adopter that will challenge him mentally and physically. He loves to run and play fetch, but he’s also content to relax on the couch with you after burning off some energy.

He is leash trained and sleeps through the night in his own kennel. Archie is also house trained as long as no one forgets to give him a let out or short walk every few hours. He’s a healthy puppy and has enjoyed being raised to this point with a female sibling, so play dates might be an option if his adopter lives in or near Lincoln.

At this age, Archie does fine with cats and other dogs. He would also do okay with children as long as parents are good at monitoring and have enough time to finish his training. We anticipate his adult size to be somewhere between 40 and 50 lbs., but one thing we are sure of: Archie is going to make someone a wonderful lifetime companion.
