His Story: Archie was found stray in a nervous state Jan 09 about 8 months old and unclaimed. His confidence has grown 100 fold since then and he has matured into a truly beautiful dog.

Salient points: Archie confident and proven living within a pack of dogs with people coming and going.  Needs to be homed with a confident dog or dog confident family. Submissive by nature. Can react to cars and some dogs when out on lead as many Collie x Shepherds can do. Good with horses!

Advert: Archie is 80% German Shepherd. He has the Shepherd long body, tail and muzzle ... even fur type.  His ears however suggest a complimentary influence perhaps Collie. He is young now around 18 months old. He is sensitive by nature!  Archie is a very loving dog who bonds deeply given a chance. He loves being out and about, very interested in everything and a really good boy. In foster Archie loved " A trip in the van and he loved sticking his head out of the window with the wind blowing his ears all over the place. He is very chilled at home and takes no notice of the horses, loves water - the hosepipe is one of his favourite games ." Currently in kennels near Gatwick

Archie mixes well with dogs and his submissive nature shines through, they are pleased to have him around. Adapts well to new situations now. Archie is neutered, vax'd and chipped. If you love Shepherds and if you have met the Shepherd x Collie mix before, you'll know just how much you'll love Archie. He will train well and are intelligent. Sadly the only thing he needs work on is barking when he sees other dogs approaching outside and when close to traffic. He obviously got a scar when stray. This can take time to eradicate but he has achieved so much in other areas.  Looking for his forever home with a fab family. He loves being out and about or pottering at home. Superb dog.
