Tubby

Meet Tubby, a charming and lovable Border Collie cross Kelpie, whose personality is as captivating as his good looks. With his expressive eyes, he has an endearing way of making those around him feel special.

Tubby particularly bonds well with those he considers to be 'his people'. Despite initial shyness with some men, every day sees him growing more comfortable and open, making more and more progress to overcoming this minor hitch.

In terms of his home environment, Tubby appreciates a tranquil setting, ideally in a semi-rural area. He prefers not to be left alone outside and enjoys the comfort of a warm home teeming with affectionate humans. Once he has bonded with his owner, prepare for endless sessions of tummy rubs and wholesome cuddles. Not to mention that Tubby is a hilarious fur companion which guarantees countless fun and laughter-filled days.

When it comes to other animals, Tubby is absolutely fine. He peacefully ignores cats, and even kangaroos on hikes don't trigger a hint of 'chase instinct'. In fact, he loves hikes and bushwalks, happily trotting along on your outdoor adventures. Additionally, he's just as content curling up next to you on the couch for a quiet evening.

As with most Border Collies, Tubby thrives on being active. For this active boy, nothing is more fun than a hike in the great outdoors or playing around in water. Yet, he also enjoys the simple pleasure of nestling in bed with his foster mother. His adaptability also extends to car rides where he's a delightful passenger.

The ideal family for Tubby is one that understands the breed's need for a little bit of activity and plenty of affection. As such, an active couple or family who can provide him with love, patience, and understanding will be rewarded with a loyal, fun-loving, and incredibly loyal companion.
