Axle ~ kelpie puppy (on trial 20/05/17)

Meet Axle! He is a loving and loyal, 6 month old male Kelpie puppy.

Axle is a great looking young dog with a healthy shiny black and tan coat. He is eager to please and fast to learn and has already picked up commands of sit, drop (lay down), shake and Hi5 with both paws, working on Hi10 and stay. Axle comes running at his name or a whistle.

Axle is toilet trained and sleeps in a room by himself. Axle can use a doggy door and kennel. He can be a bit shy so lots of encouragement and positive words are needed.

Axle loves to play with you or he can entertain himself and will pick his toy of choice from his own toy box. Axle loves to fetch but is not obsessive. Being young, he does like to gently mouth items including hands, so ongoing training will be required for this energetic youngster. Bath time will require some patience as he is not a fan of water. He is not a jumper and knows it’s not polite to jump on beds or couches.

Axle is great with kids and will sit all over them although he may accidently knock over a small child if excited. He gets on with other dogs and just wants to play with them. Axle would be very suitable for a family on a farm or acreage with a secure house yard. He has been around horses but does chase ducks and flying things, as kelpies do. He has not been exposed to chickens or cats.

This little guy will steal your heart and love you for life.
