About Prince Courtesy Listed

Prince is a bright, loyal Border Collie mix with a quick mind and a love for working alongside his people. In very little time, he’s mastered commands like spin, leave it, and stay—always eager to figure out what comes next. Housebroken and currently a healthy 57 pounds, Prince is on a good path with his weight and ready to keep making progress in his new home. His moderate energy means he’s happy with a mix of physical and mental activities, so a household that enjoys both will suit him well. Prince is deeply bonded with his people and does best in a predictable, structured environment. He’s shown some frustration around barriers but has done well meeting other dogs off leash. However, Prince does not get along with cats, so a cat-free home is a must. What he needs most is someone who understands herding breeds and can offer confident guidance, a calm routine, and activities that keep him sharp and satisfied. Ready to meet your new best friend?
