Poppy ~ Kelpie x Chihuahua (Trial 11/4/16)

Poppy is an approximately 3 year old Kelpie x Chihuahua. She is lively little girl, hence her nickname "Popcorn". She's very playful and enjoys playing with balls and toys. She gets on well with other dogs and would be happy to have another dog as a playmate but would also be fine as an only dog so long as she is included in family activities. She would like to have a daily walk and play time with her people.

I think she would not be suitable for children under 8 because she may jump on them until she receives further training, but would be ok with older children.

Being a pocket sized kelpie, Poppy is a pretty good jumper for her size, so she'll need a yard with 5 foot fences. She enjoys learning new things and would excel with further training. She is an inside dog and needs to be allowed inside, at least when people are home, and to sleep inside.

Poppy has a lovely nature. She's a darling girl who likes cuddles and to sneak into your bed if you'll let her.
