About Lola

My dog's name is Lola and she is 9 years old. She is part Border collie, part mutt, and acts like a herder. She is ~70 lb, black white and brown, with 'rot spots' above her eyes. She responds to come, sit, stay, leave it, on your bed, out. She is kennel trained, chipped, and has all her shots. We got her as a puppy at the Oregon Humane Society. She is not destructive, although she likes chewing up paper and cardboard. If you leave food unattended, she will eat it. She is border conscious, and never tries to escape or dig. She likes to play tug-of-war and Frisbee. She limps on her hind legs with too much exercise. Vet said it might be CCLs. We decided against surgery and instead to back off on the exercise. Since then she does not limp. She very much enjoys going on walks. She is ok on a leash, but will pull. She is a dominant dog, and is ok with other dogs once she gets to know them, once they know she's the boss. She is not a good dog park dog. She just wants to be with her pack and all the random dogs to stay away. If a random dog approaches her, she will run them off. If they don't approach, she will leave them alone too. She gets VERY excited when new people come over. She loves to sound the alarm when there are prowlers, especially Amazon Prime deliveries and neighbors checking their mail. She does not like a lot of chaos, and thus, is not a big fan of small kids. She thrives on a stable routine. Mostly she wants to be involved in what her people are doing, and gets anxious if she is left out.
