About Frankie
Frankie is a beautiful 8-week-old Kelpie X Ridgback with a gentle, sweet nature.
She is the quieter and slightly more timid of the two sisters, but once she feels safe, her lovely personality begins to shine. She is affectionate, curious and already learning that life can be full of kindness, play and love.
Frankie and her sister Tilly came to Hoof & Hound from a difficult situation. We may never know everything about their early start, but we do know that they got out in time. From here on, Frankie deserves nothing but the best.
She is expected to grow into a solid medium-to-large dog and will need a secure backyard, daily exercise, mental stimulation, ongoing positive training and plenty of involvement in family life.
Frankie would suit a patient, loving home that understands puppies need time, consistency and reassurance. In return, we think she will grow into a wonderfully loyal and loving companion.
Frankie is microchipped, vaccinated for her age and wormed.
She will be required to be desexed at the appropriate age under veterinary advice and in accordance with Hoof & Hound’s delayed desexing requirements.
She’s one of the lucky ones — now she just needs her forever family.
Medical notes
