Marby ~ kelpie x Lab (trial pending 28/6/15)

MARBY – “Timid and Playful”. Marby is a shy 2 year old, male, Kelpie cross Labrador who has all the lovely qualities from each of these breeds. He is gentle and playful and gets along well with other dogs and big and small humans too. He can be very shy and timid around strangers at first but will warm to anyone that shows him some affection and plays fetch with him.

Marby is a well mannered boy who is accepts being outside but will wait patiently at the door to be asked to come inside. He loves being inside with his people. He comes back when called and does basic commands such as sit, stay, drop the ball etc. He’s very intelligent and would be very easy to train because he just wants to please his human (that’s the Labrador in him).

He is a quiet dog. He has only barked on one or two occasions, only when strangers have approached and only for a short time.

He LOVES to play fetch with a tennis ball and would probably play forever if you let him. His new home would ideally have a yard big enough to chase a ball.

Marby is one of the fastest dogs around (that’s the Kelpie in him) but is still very easy to walk at a nice pace on a lead.

He is a bit scared of the hose and doesn’t love a bath but still enjoys a run along the beach, going in for a swim and paddles in the creek on bush walks.

Marby is an extremely affectionate and loyal dog who is a pleasure to have around.
