About Colt - 1 Year Old Kelpie
Colt is a beautiful young Kelpie with the softest brown eyes and a gentle soul to match. Slightly shy when meeting new people, he prefers to take a moment to assess the situation before letting his sweet personality shine through.
Watching Colt grow in confidence has been a joy, and every day he becomes a little braver, a little happier, and a little more sure of himself. Once he trusts you, you'll be rewarded with a loyal companion who looks at you with such love and devotion that it's impossible not to fall in love with him.
At 12 months old, Colt is an active and playful boy who enjoys daily walks, playtime, and activities that keep both his mind and body engaged. Like many working breeds, he thrives when given opportunities to use his intelligence, but he also has a calm, easy going side and loves nothing more than curling up near his people for a snooze once the day is done.
Colt is an indoor dog who sleeps happily in his crate with the door open and would never say no to sharing the human bed. He walks beautifully on lead, is learning his basic commands including sit, down and come, and is continuing to blossom with positive guidance and encouragement.
He is suitable for a home with children over five years of age and gets along well with other dogs, cats, pocket pets, and farm animals. He isn't a chewer, isn't possessive or jealous, and has a wonderful, gentle nature that makes him a pleasure to have around.
Colt is looking for a patient family who will continue building his confidence while embracing both his playful Kelpie spirit and his affectionate, snuggly side. 🐾❤️
