Jeb

4 year old Sable male

Bio for Jeb

Jeb (Jebediah) is a tall, stately, four year old, neutered male. He stands a statuesque 28 inches at the shoulder and weighs 99 pounds. In spite of his size and dignified appearance, Jeb is still a puppy at heart. He is extremely playful and loves to romp and chase with the other collies at his foster home. You would expect a big fellow like Jeb to try to dominate the other dogs but, in fact, he is quite the peace maker, always deferring to the other collies. He is always ready to initiate play and loves to bring his favorite toys to his foster mom so they can play fetch.

Jeb's size and energetic personality were the reasons that his former owner reluctantly had to give him up. He didn't seem to realize his own size and strength, and when the activity level got high, he was just too much dog for the small grandchildren in the family. Although Jeb is not at all aggressive to either people or dogs, he does have a very strong herding instinct and that, coupled with his size, means that he should probably not go to a family with small children or small animals.

Jeb is well behaved in the house and is given the run of his foster mom's home. He is smart, eager to please and knows all of the basic commands. He went to obedience training as a young dog and was one of the stars of the class, finishing fourth in a class of 25 dogs.

Jeb loves human attention and petting. One of his favorite tricks is to slip his muzzle under your arm and then, with a toss of his nose, flip your hand onto his head in a not-so-subtle "pet me" move. He also loves to be groomed and will even offer up his tummy for brushing and combing.

Jeb is looking for a forever home that has plenty of love but no small children or little animals. This gentle giant is ready to lavish some lucky family with a BIG helping of collie love.

Jeb is being fostered in the Duluth, MN area
