Where are our Border collie X Australian shepherd friends?!

DAPHNE is a one year old female border collie and Australian shepherd cross with a beautiful blue merle coat. She weighs at just 35 lbs. Daphne has one brown eye and one blue eye, which melts your heart when she gazes into your eyes. She’s the sister of recently adopted Chloe and shares many of the same wonderful traits—friendly, affectionate, and eager to please.

PERSONALITY

DAPHNE is a happy, affectionate, and loyal girl. She loves being near her people, whether following them around the house or curling up for a nap. She has a balanced temperament—not overly energetic, but always ready for fun when the time is right.

DOGS & CATS

DAPHNE is dog-social but prefers the company of herding breed dogs. She enjoys structured play and thrives with dogs who have a similar play style. She’s not cat-friendly, so she’ll do best in a home without feline friends.

LEASH MANNERS

DAPHNE has a lot of feelings when she sees other dogs on leash and can be vocal about it. She’s currently working on building calmer leash habits and will need continued training to help her navigate these big emotions. With consistency and guidance, she’ll improve over time!

HUMANS

DAPHNE is people-loving and affectionate. She happily greets new people and enjoys spending time with her humans. She’s a great mix of playful and cuddly, always ready for fun but just as happy to relax with her family.

TRAINING & SKILLS

DAPHNE is crate trained, house trained, and learning better leash manners. She’s food-motivated, making training a rewarding experience. She enjoys working with her humans and is eager to learn.

ADVENTURES

DAPHNE enjoys walks and exploring new places, but she’s also content just hanging out at home. Whether you're looking for an active partner or a loyal companion, Daphne is ready to be by your side.

If you're looking for a sweet, social, and intelligent herding breed dog who will thrive with continued training, Daphne might be the perfect match!

DAPHNE is micro-chipped, spayed, heartworm negative and on preventative, and up-to-date on vaccinations.
