Ben

Such a handsome boy our Ben!  And a true collie!  He is definitely the dog for someone who appreciates the cleverness and focus of a working dog and he will need an interactive environment where he can express his strong traits.

Ben is 11 months of age, so will be a year in November 2026.  He is very sweet and gentle with people, loves cuddles and giving the paw and will happily spend his days following an owner around a garden or farm.

Ben gets very stimulated by movement – whether that is other dogs, cats or livestock – he wants to round-up and get working!  As a result we would prefer to see him in a home without other animals so they don’t have to bear the brunt of his need to work!  He just needs a person who is looking for a loyal, clever companion.

A rural home with no direct access to livestock is the environment that will suit him best.  We also wonder if Ben night want to round up any children in the home, so ideally only teenagers+ for Ben.  Owners who spend plenty of time walking, gardening or farming would be ideal.

Ben settles very well at night, he loves bed, he is very clean in his kennel and he understands and responds well to clear routine.  If you are able to provide Ben with a suitable, loving home, please read the Adoption Process on our website and apply using the Adoption Questionnaire.
