Clyde is an absolute sweetheart with a bright smile and a warm, gentle demeanor that makes him instantly lovable. At 1.5 years old and weighing 39 pounds, this handsome boy has a soft face and brown eyes that are sure to melt your heart. He is easygoing, friendly, and still possesses a fun bit of puppy energy, keeping life interesting and playful. Clyde is learning his basic commands, already understands 'Sit,' and is doing remarkably well with house training. While he's not a fan of the crate just yet, he is smart and eager to learn with continued positive reinforcement.
As a Labrador Retriever and Border Collie mix, Clyde embodies the best traits of both breeds. He has the friendly, outgoing nature of a Lab combined with the intelligence and eagerness to please of a Border Collie. This makes him a highly trainable companion who thrives on engagement and activity. He loves going on walks, greeting other dogs, and soaking up all the attention he can get. His moderate grooming needs and shedding are typical for his breed mix, and his high energy and exercise requirements mean he's always ready for an adventure.
Clyde would flourish in a home with a yard and plenty of space to stretch out. He is looking for an active person or family who enjoys daily walks, hiking, or other outdoor adventures, as he has high exercise needs. He does wonderfully with older kids, other dogs, and new people, making him a versatile family member. While he finds cats a bit too tempting to chase and can get car sick, with patience and continued training, Clyde is sure to become the perfect hiking buddy and devoted companion for the right home.
