Holt is a charming 5-month-old bundle of joy, a mix of Border Collie and Great Pyrenees. With his sweet face and sharp mind, he embodies the best of puppyhood and is ready to become someone's most cherished companion. Holt is friendly, social, intelligent, and a truly excellent young dog. He loves people, gets along well with other dogs, and is even fine with cats. He's doing a wonderful job navigating his puppy years. As a baby, he'll need the usual puppy essentials: consistent structure, dedicated training, plenty of patience, and supervision. A family eager to help him grow into the magnificent adult dog he's destined to be would be a perfect match.
Ideal Home
Holt is an energetic mix of two intelligent breeds, so he would thrive in a home with a fenced yard where he can safely run, play, and explore to burn off his puppy energy. He'll do best with a family that appreciates an engaged and bright dog and understands that smart puppies are always learning and exploring their world.

Training & Support
Holt will need the usual puppy basics, including structure, training, patience, and supervision. Prospective adopters should be prepared for the realities of puppy-raising, including:
- Potty Training: Puppies need frequent potty breaks, roughly one hour per month of age.
- Crate Training: Crate training is recommended until the puppy is at least one year old to prevent chewing on inappropriate items when unsupervised.
- Socialization: Providing many positive and varied experiences during puppyhood is crucial for development.
- Puppy Behavior: Raising a puppy is akin to caring for a human toddler and requires at least a full year to see a calmer, well-adjusted dog. Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are essential and can be time-consuming and costly. All dogs require supervision with children and obedience training.
