Rex, Collie, 2 years old

Rex, Collie, 2 years old



His Story Rex has had 2 homes before. The first weren't geared up for his "Collieness" and the second was as a work companion, but Rex was too young to spend his youth sitting in a van! He is now in foster with another dog and we are seeing his rich character come through.

Salient points Long haired Collie with an intelligent mind keen to learn, to focus on activity and especially "fun activity!" Strong on the lead at this stage of his life and level of training.

Advert Rex means King ... and Rex is so much the King of Collies! He is a beauty and his beautiful mane and robes turn all heads. He is not a hyperactive Collie, but is a young energetic Collie who needs companionship and occupation. He would settle with another dog and tries to tame his energy into gentle dealings with people and dogs. We are seeing him with his 'kennel energy', but he will soon settle past his excitement and signs are he is equally ready to chill. We have not cat tested him.

Rex is just 2 years old and is everything you would expect from a Collie of this age and size. He hasn't had strict training, but his temperament is well meaning and he tunes into expectations and focuses on reward incentives readily. Rex needs a dog experienced family who aren't bowled over by his 30 kilo weight/size, but appreciate his youth and richness of character and walk/talk with him through his training needs to put the polish on his crown and have fun with this clown!

Ok this is going to get you all drooling then, as it has me ...

An update on Rex by his fosterer!

“Batman and Robin refusing to leave the bat cave after a busy morning fighting crime



If no one minds, i'm just going to show off Rexs' new skill

We've switched up the walking now, he's now walking on a halti and a metal lead. It's made such a huge difference, so really just to show how manageable he is in this combo.

ONE FINGERED!!! GO REX!!!!!!



Rex and I have been working hard all day to impress everyone with this, so hope you enjoy!

Just to show how well he looks after his wonderful break -



Rex has benefitted so much from his time in foster. Unfortunately due to their personal circumstances they cannot keep him longer and he is back in kennels. Waiting for another respite in foster or his forever home to come along!
