FERN

​

A very BIG ask!

​

We’ve been trying to find a suitable home for Fern for a while now behind the scenes!

​

We’re not taking owner hand-ins routinely but were asked to make a special exception a while back. She is currently still with her owner but time is running out for Fern so here’s our last ditch attempt!!

​

• 4.5 year old female

• ISDS registered collie

• Spayed

• No health problems

• Cannot live with children

• Needs a rural home

​

Fern has a very high herding drive, which we think would be perfect for working on a farm or life in a rural home. She is generally well trained, biddable and responds well to hand signals. She has great recall, and is also good around other animals, including livestock.

​

However while Fern is a loving (and fairly quiet) dog at home, her strong collie traits have led to some problematic behaviour on walks (i.e. nipping when trying to control movement). Her behavioural problems occur mostly when she is on a lead by traffic or with people directly walking towards her (eg on a footpath), her behaviour can be managed if kept away from traffic and at a good distance from other people, however where that’s not possible she is muzzled.

We know this is a massive ask but hope there is the perfect home for Fern out there!
