This 10-week-old, 10 lb Border Collie mix has never met a stranger! Known as the friendliest pup of his litter, Puddle would absolutely win "best greeter" if it were a job--he's always the first to say hello and make new friends. This happy, well-rounded puppy is as smart as he is lovable. Puddle already knows how to sit, and he's doing great with potty training for his age. He settles well into his kenne alongside his littermates, and can keep his sleeping area clean overnight--an impressive start for such a young pup! Puddle is wonderful with kids of all ages, including toddlers, and does great with other dogs. He doesn't have experience with cats. Puddle loves games of fetch, squeaky toys, exploring, and playtime. When he's not on the move, he's just as content snuggling up with his humans. As a Border Collie mix, Puddle will need regular exercise and mental stimulation to keep him happy and thriving. He would do best in a home ready for an active, playful puppy--ideally with a fenced yard or a solid plan for daily activity. If you're looking for a smart, affectionate, and outgoing puppy, Puddle is ready to splash into your life!
