Meet Cricket, a 9-week-old Border Collie mix with a personality just as beautiful as her looks! With her calm, gentle nature, Cricket truly stands out as a special pup. She's already showing off her intelligence--learning to sit, patiently waiting for rewards, and making great progress with potty training. She settles nicely in her crate and keeps her sleeping area clean overnight, which is impressive for such a young puppy. She's not very vocal so she makes for a great roommate. Cricket is great with kids of all ages and gets along well with other dogs. While she hasn't been tested with cats, but she could do well with proper introductions. She enjoys squeaky toys, chewing treats for teething, and spending time outside exploring. As a Border Collie mix, Cricket will benefit from regular exercise and mental stimulation, though she has a calm presence in the home. She'd thrive in a loving environment where her intelligence and sweet nature can continue to shine. If you're looking for a smart, gentle, and well-rounded puppy to grow alongside your family, Cricket might just be your perfect match!
