Helena is a 5-month-old Border Collie/Great Pyrenees mix with a sweet face, a bright mind, and serious puppy charm. She is friendly, social, smart, and an all-around wonderful young dog. Helena likes people, enjoys other dogs, and is good with cats. She is handling puppyhood with an impressive amount of grace. She is still a baby, so she will need the usual puppy basics: structure, training, patience, supervision, and a family ready to help her grow into the lovely adult dog she is clearly meant to become. Because she is a young, active mix of two intelligent breeds, Helena needs a fenced yard where she can run, play, explore, and burn off her puppy energy safely. She will do best with a family that enjoys a bright, engaged dog and understands that smart puppies are always learning, including the things no one technically meant to teach them. Helena is a great puppy, and anyone would be lucky to have her.

Training & Support
Helena will need the usual puppy basics: structure, training, patience, supervision, and a family ready to help her grow. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for:
- Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only hold it for one hour per month of age.
- Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise.
- Socialization. The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home.
- Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well-adjusted dog. Patience is required and will be rewarded.
