Collie (long coat) : : Male : : Adult : : Large
Tristan is a neutered male approximately four-year-old sable and white rough coated Collie. He housebroke himself with a doggie door, practically overnight. This is a smart dog with a gentle nature and a sense of humor to boot. I have seen him run through the dog door at top speed, make a right turn at the guest bathroom, vault over the couch and keep on going. He will be found lying upside down with a bone in his mouth, fast asleep. Tristan adores the company of other dogs and might be lonely or bored without a doggie pal to play with. He also enjoys the company of men, women and children. The kids should be 8 or over mainly because Tristan is a long, rangy Collie and toddlers could get knocked over with his exuberant energy.
Tristan was a stray found out on his own in Colorado Springs with no identification and no one claimed him at the shelter. He still needs to put on another 15- 20 pounds to fill out his large frame. Perhaps his sensitive tummy plays a part in his being malnourished. But he is eating well on Precise Lamb and Rice Sensacare with no corn, wheat, soy or byproducts. Good quality food, exercise and play time and lots of love will make him strong and keep him on the right path for a long and healthy life.
