About Red - 3 Year Old Kelpie X Cattle Dog (Trial)
Red is a vibrant and charismatic Kelpie X Cattle Dog who will be a devoted dog and love to join your forever home!
As a working breed, Red is extremely intelligent and eager to please his people. He is treat orientated and is a great dog to train. He is excelling in training at the shelter and working hard on his new skills. He has great recall to his name.
An affectionate smoocher, he loves to sit on the couch with you and cuddle. He would need to be invited indoors, as he finds comfort being in the same space as his family. He is housetrained.
When going on walks, Red prefers a harness and is well behaved on the lead. He can be redirected when distracted by those pesky flying birds! Red has a strong natural chase drive and would not be suitable to small pets, poultry or cats.
Red is a people loving boy and can get excited when meeting new people and jump up to say hello, to ensure safety he would be best suited to older children.
He is athletic and agile, he has been going on runs in the shelter and has proven to be a fantastic running buddy! A home that could offer daily runs would make him VERY happy.
He came into care with a small doggy sibling, since being in care Red has become selective with dogs. He can be adopted with a dog sibling but would need a meet and greet to ensure a good match. He prefers the company of females.
Red would need secure minimum 6ft fencing in his new home.
In overview, Red is:
- Extremely lovable and playful
- Dog Selective
- Intelligent and needs ongoing training/enrichment
- Athletic, he would love a running buddy!
