Come and meet Kaia
Border Collie, 2 years old
My favourite thing about Kaia is...
She has one blue eye and one brown eye. She also stomps her paw down when trying to get attention. She also peeks around a corner showing one eye (her blue one) to check on you.
The biggest challenge with Kaia is...
Her need for exercise and mental stimulation.
The most surprising thing about owning a Border Collie is...
You hear how clever they are, but you don’t realise to the level of intelligence they have. She lost her ball once and now she drops her ball next to significant points on her walk so she remembers where she put it.
What I wish I’d known about Border Collies is...
They see you as their master, other people as their friends, so sometimes they will act more lovingly to your friends whereas they will look at you for introduction/next job.
