About Yoshi

Adoption Fee: $300
Jack Russell / Border Collie
Age: Puppy
Sex: Male

Yoshi is fostered in Bradenton, FL (Manatee County). We are a foster-based rescue and always looking for foster families. Yoshi is a busy, clever 22 lb mixed breed - we are thinking border x Jack, with terrier being dominant in his prey drive and demeanor. He is suited for a performance home, or an active home that will give him one-on-one training time and take him to classes & activities. He is estimated to be between 1.5-2 years and found himself in a rural shelter before we pulled him. He measures 14 in. at the shoulders and 17 in. from shoulders to base of tail. Yoshi has fantastic sports potential. He has good recall, knows sit and stay, and is working on down. He has excellent tug drive (videos available upon request) and also loves to play ball. This is a dog who doesn't give up and has few inhibitions unless his handler teaches them. He loves to jump and climb to high vantage points, and hops like a bunny when he runs. He recently tried lure coursing and did amazingly (see attached video). He would also excel at flyball with his ball & tug drives, and he dead ball retrieves. We could also see him doing agility, nosework, barn hunt, disc, EarthDog or any number of other sports. He is a sweet boy, a bit mouthy, but easily corrected and doing much better with this. He does require a fenced yard. He is very excited about life in general, loves other dogs, and can be a bit much for older or selective dogs. We do want to see him go to a home with a playful or tolerant companion dog, if possible. Yoshi is housebroken and crate trained, and as with any dog, routine is key in maintaining these. His leash walking is improving, and he thoroughly enjoys going on outings. He is a perfect gentleman at adoption events, farmer's markets and at the baseball park, but get him near a dog sports activity and his drive kicks in! He will greatly benefit from obedience and other classes, and his foster is hoping to start him in basic ob soon. Yoshi is kind to children he meets on leash, but with his rambunctious nature he is not suited to a home with small children. He is very good about getting baths, nail trims and vet exams. Cats are unknown, but probably a no due to his high drive. Yoshi is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines and preventives, microchipped and heartworm-free. He is a wonderful little dog just waiting to be scooped up!
