Gemma (adopted 14/11/14) ~ red kelpie

Meet Gemma, 10 month old, female, red kelpie x. Super sweet and so gentle! She loves to be with people and other dogs. She is great with kids. She is gentle with our 4 year old and a 7 year old and doesn't jump on them.

Gemma is super smart and quick to learn. She can sit, wait for her food and shake hands. She is ok on a lead but can be quite focused when there is something she wants to sniff. She needs more practice with returning when called before she can be off lead. Gemma would love to go to dog training lessons and I'm sure she would be the star of the class!

Gemma will need a well fenced yard as she might be tempted to go off and explore if given the opportunity. \ She was a little unsure about the lake but with a little more experience I think she'll soon enjoy going for a swim.

All round, Gemma is a great dog! She is an active bread so will need a home where she is taken for a walk or run every day and her brain is engaged with training, play and toys. After a bit of fun, Gemma loves nothing more than to cuddle up with you on the sofa or just to be with you. She needs to be allowed inside because it gets very lonely outside.
