Bear

Bear is the definition of a true gentleman—beautifully behaved in the home, easy to handle, and a dream on walks with solid recall.

He’s got that classic Kelpie brain (smart as anything!) paired with a soft, devoted nature and absolutely adores his humans. Especially the mini kind! Where there are children, there is Bear! He will follow them around the yard, watch closely as they play and his favour is to nap on a little lap while watching Bluey.

Bear is a social boy who gets along well with other dogs and dog-savvy cats, but deep down, Bear would be happiest soaking up all the love as your one-and-only.

Favorite things:
🥎Ball enthusiast (collector, chaser, life-long fan)
🏝️Water lover… puddles, splashes, mud—yes please!
🥕 Snack connoisseur—carrots, cucumber, leftovers… he’s not fussy!
✈️Plane hunter! Bear loves watching for planes! He'll check the sky regularly and watch from the window when inside. When he spots one, he'll joyously celebrate with some laps of the yard while watching it fly over. 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

Dislikes:
🚫 Foot rubs, washing.or general touching of toe beans… absolutely not, thank you very much

Bear enjoys his adventures but prefers to keep things low-impact—no wild jumping games, as he needs a little care for those joints. He’s happiest with relaxed play, sniffy walks, and time spent by your side.
He’s fantastic with kids of all ages and would suit a reasonably low impact active home—bonus points if someone is around more often than not, because this boy lives for his people.

A couple of quirks to keep life interesting:
🐰 Occasionally tempted to “politely” chase a bunny or two
🐴 Thinks horses need help being herded (he’s working on that one!) and he will round up sheep forcefully so he needs a home with secure fencing if he was to be on property.

Bear is equal parts sweet, silly, and soulful—the kind of dog who will make you laugh, keep you company, and quietly steal your heart without even trying.
