About Hamish

Meet Hamish, affectionately known as "Hamish the Ham!" This 5-month-old Border Collie/Great Pyrenees mix has a smile that's impossible not to love. With his goofy grin, gentle personality, and curious spirit, Hamish has a way of making everyone he meets smile right back. Hamish is the kind of puppy who can happily entertain himself with a toy or a good stick, but he's always excited when it's time for an adventure. Whether it's a walk around the neighborhood, a play session with another dog, or hopping in the car for a ride, he's ready to tag along. In fact, car rides are one of his favorite things! He even knows the command "load up," and patiently waits for his leash before jumping out. This sweet boy loves meeting new people and has never met a stranger. He's wonderful with dogs, cats, and children of all ages, making him an easy addition to many different types of families. Hamish is also one smart cookie. He already has an impressive whistle recall and catches on to new routines quickly. His Border Collie brains combined with his Great Pyrenees independence make him a puppy who enjoys learning while still having a little free-thinking personality of his own. Hamish has a gentle heart, a curious mind, and a joyful spirit that makes him a wonderful companion. Whether he's making you laugh with his goofy personality, showing off his good manners, or curling up after a day of adventures, he's sure to become an unforgettable member of the family. If you're looking for a loyal best friend who loves everyone he meets and is always ready for the next adventure, Hamish is waiting to meet you!

Ideal Home

Hamish would thrive in a home where someone is around more often than not due to his crate and separation anxiety. He would also benefit from having another friendly dog to keep him company and help build his confidence when his family is away.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions are mentioned in his description.

Training & Support

Hamish has a few things he's still working through, specifically crate and separation anxiety. He would benefit from continued positive reinforcement and patience as he adjusts to new routines and environments.
