PICS of the new foster, KURI!

It's so different living with a Border Collie after living with only Shelties for years. I love it! I love my guys, but it's so great having a high energy dog around here!

It kills me knowing that I can't keep him. My mom knows the Malinois is coming in March since the deposit's in.. she even said she would take in Kuri as the fourth dog if we had a bit more space. Ack! Ah well.. whoever adopts him will be extremely lucky to have a dog like him.

I took some pictures of the sweet boy today. I'm going to write up a bio for him this weekend and then we'll start screening adoption forms after the weekend.

I started him on some jumps today. He's doing really well so far! I will be making the final choice on which home he goes to.. I'm hoping a serious agility competitor will apply for him. *cross fingers* He would make an awesome agility/flyball dog. =D

Great pictures, he is a beautiful dog. I love the last two pictures of him!

He's gorgeous! It's great that you're fostering Ashley. :)

Does he ever look happy!! Kudos to you for showing him a wonderful life that he deserves. I hope he goes to a fabulous home, where he can be himself!! He's a very cute boy! :)

Wow great pictures!!! He is ADORABLE. Its a shame you cant adopt him but soon you will have your high energy dog to keep.:)

Uh yeah... I'd say that's HIGH energy!
What a cutie!!
Good Luck Kuri on finding your furever home!

I've been in love with that boy since your first post about him. He really seems like an amazing fella. Thanks for giving him the opportunity to find the home he deserves! :D

Will ya look at that dog go!!!!!!! :p

Great pictures . You're such a blessing for this Border Collie. I hope he's placed in a loving home~~~and can continue doing his agility!!!

Border Collies are very active dogs. My friend owns three. You should see the male Jake wow, he's beautiful. I'm so happy he's in a home he deserves and I agree with Dorothy39, hopefully he'll be able to keep doing his agility once in his new home.

Whoopee! Toss it again , mom! What a HAPPY spirit! Nice pictures, my action shots are always blurry.

Kuri is just so handsome!

good pics! he's a real looker! if the rescue you are fostering for has a petfinder page or web page for him tell them to put that he'd be great for agility/flyball. someone will snatch up that cutie!

Kuri is looking great! Border Collies are great, aren't they? :) I see so much Border in him. What's that other weird breed that they think is in him?

One more question... does he ever put his tongue in his mouth? LOL

He's beautiful! I love the 6th picture :).

He came with a "pedigree" and his mum told me a bit about where he came from. I worked out the pedigree.. he's 44% Border Collie, 44% New Zealand Heading Dog and 12% Australian Shepherd.

LOL Not when he's outside!!

What a cutie!! He definately looks high energy. LOL

I hope he finds a great forever home soon, looks like he already has a great foster home. :)

That's neat how you worked out his "pedigree"! What do New Zealand Heading dogs look like?

Awww! Ashley, I wish I could adopt him! He looks like such a lover boy! Have tons of fun with him. :) :)

There aren't too many breeders out there so this is the best I've found:

Apparently they come in rough and smooth. They do have BC blood in them but apparently whippets were used too. If the average person saw a NZHD, they'd probably think it was a BC or BCx.

Aww, great pictures! He is so handsome!

Wow! He is gorgeous!

Hmm, if only I was a little closer.. ;)

Good Luck with him, Ashley! I'm sure he'll be in good hands. :)

Wow, he's handsome! He looks like a really fun dog!
