Baxter is a bright and eager young Border Collie with a spirited personality. Known for his intelligence and boundless energy, he's always ready for an adventure or a new challenge. He thrives on mental stimulation and loves to learn, making him a joy to train. Baxter is an affectionate companion who forms strong bonds with his humans and is always up for playtime or a good cuddle after a busy day.

He will excel in a home that understands his need for a job to do, whether it's advanced obedience, agility, or simply engaging puzzle toys.

With proper introductions and continued socialization, Baxter could also happily share his home with other active dogs.
