    Co. Longford, Ireland

    Smart, sensitive, and full of energy. Lexi is looking for a calm home where she can thrive and feel secure. Smart, sensitive, intense and full of energy, Lexi is a serious border collie looking for an experienced home where she can thrive. Lexi is an incredibly intelligent girl who needs more than just walks to keep her happy. She will need lots of mental stimulation, training and enrichment, and ideally a home where she can have a job or something purposeful to keep her busy. She’s happiest when she has something to focus her clever Collie brain on. She absolutely loves being active and enjoys walks, runs, hikes and, above all else, chasing her ball — in Lexi’s world, the ball is king! 🎾 She’s also highly trainable and loves learning new things, particularly when there are tasty rewards involved. Lexi is toilet trained, sleeps indoors, walks well on lead and has great recall, particularly when her favourite toy is involved. She is also continuing to work on her training and will need an owner who is confident, consistent and strong-willed, while using positive and appropriate training methods to help her continue progressing. Like many Border Collies, Lexi can be sensitive and may become overwhelmed in busy or noisy environments. She needs a calm, quiet home, ideally away from heavy traffic and lots of activity. A secure, spacious garden is a must! Lexi is looking for an adult-only home with someone experienced with collies who understands that she isn’t your typical easy-going pet dog. She would preferably live with a female main carer, and she needs to be the only dog in the home. Lexi is a special girl who needs a very specific home, but for the right person, she has the potential to be an incredibly rewarding companion. If you have collie experience, the time and commitment to continue her training, and the ability to give her the structure and purpose she needs, Lexi could be the girl for you.
