Say hello to Chad, a four-year-old Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix in Lynnwood, WA. Chad has a striking merle blue, black, and white coat and brings sharp energy and spirit wherever he goes. He’s 46 lbs of athletic potential and thrives with plenty of activity—think fetch, exploring, learning new tricks. Chad's mind moves fast, and he wants structure and mental challenges as much as physical ones. Herding breed experience is required here; you’ll need to be ready to set boundaries and actively teach him manners. He’s social with most dogs but tends to be dominant around males, so he’s better off with female dogs or settling in as the only dog. Chad doesn’t do well with cats or young children. A home that provides consistency, adventures, and a serious commitment to positive training will help Chad become the well-rounded best friend he’s meant to be. Chad is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
