Akira

Amazing akira
Get ready to meet akira, an 8-month-old australian koolie. Koolies are very well sought after in rural australia. They have been bred to be the “ideal” working dog, so this means they’re highly intelligent, extremely active, and great companions. Koolies have a diverse gene pool and so do not suffer from the many genetic problems found in recognised breeds, they have an expected lifespan of about 18 years. Koolies are confident all-round dogs with a natural ability to head, herd and heal. They have the ability to block with force when necessary, mob stock together (and keep them together) quietly and confidently, using speed and force when needed. Koolies are hardy, displaying endurance and enough speed to outrun and head stock when required. They remain alert on the job, ready to spring into action and have the ability to relax when the stock are travelling quietly and are under control. Koolies are extremely intelligent, take very few lessons to learn and naturally seem to know what to do while thinking for themselves. They are generally receptive to commands and can bark and back when instructed. Koolies can adjust to difficult situations and often surprise their master with their intelligence and clever actions. Koolies display a small to moderate amount of eye, often only lowering their head slightly to observe the stock and position themselves accordingly. Koolies don't often show 'eye' in a very noticeable way but display great concentration and intuition making them capable of anticipating the stocks next move. Unlike other working breeds, which are noted for their crouched form or style and preference for either yard or field work, koolies are at ease working in closed surroundings such as yards or trucks and being out in paddocks and droving. They can work with any type of animal from ducks to bulls. The koolie also has an amazing sense of smell, often able to detect an ill sheep lying hidden in the grass a remarkable distance away. The sheep in need of attention would, if not for the koolies keen sense of smell, easily be missed and evidently die. Though we have never seen akira out in a paddock, she fits the description of a typical australian koolie perfectly. She’s so smart she has even figured out how to open all the doors in the safe house! akira is very affectionate and wants nothing more than to simply please you. She gets along great with kids and other dogs, and isn’t fussy at all when it comes to food! so whether you want the perfect sheep or cattle dog, or a fabulous companion that can keep up with your active lifestyle, akira could be just what you’re after!
