Meet Tito!
Tito is an approximately 2-year-old, 40-pound bundle of joy, a stunning mix of Border Collie and Australian Cattle Dog. His striking black-and-white coat, unique speckled markings, tall alert ears, and mesmerizing amber eyes (one with captivating multicolored marbling!) make him a truly unforgettable sight. Tito’s soulful expression hints at the intelligence, loyalty, and sensitivity that he brings to the table. He's the kind of dog who forms incredibly deep connections, loving with his entire heart once he trusts you and always wanting to be close. He has a gentle guardian instinct, naturally keeping an eye on his loved ones as if he feels responsible for them.
Ideal Home
Tito thrives on companionship and inclusion in his human's daily life. He loves long walks, adventures, and exploring new places. As a highly intelligent boy, he needs his mind and body engaged, so puzzle toys, treat-stuffed Kongs, and enrichment activities are a must! He is eager to learn and enjoys having a job to do. Tito needs someone experienced with intelligent working breeds who understands the importance of consistency, leadership, and mental stimulation. He does not do well with dominant dogs, particularly males that challenge him, and would likely do best as the only dog, with a female dog, or with an experienced adopter who fully understands dog behavior, structure, and proper management.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions were noted in his description.
Training & Support
Tito is house-trained, crate-trained, and walks beautifully on leash. He is very treat-motivated and would benefit greatly from continued obedience training, structure, and clear boundaries. Like many loyal and protective working breeds, Tito can be cautious around strangers. In situations where he feels unsure or overwhelmed, he may bark or growl to communicate discomfort and create space. He needs slow introductions, patience, and someone willing to understand his personality and earn his trust. Once he feels safe, his affectionate and loving side shines through beautifully.
