Colin

Colin is a Kelpie x Border Collie 8-9 month old pup.
Colin along with his brother was the last of a litter that dodged a
bullet & luckily found himself safe in the care of Wodonga Dog
Rescue.
Colin is a classic energetic working breed pup whom will require
continued guidance & training to ensure his needs are being met.
His curious & adventurous nature suggests he'll turn into a beautiful
life-time companion.
During Colin’s stay with his foster guardians, he is continuing his
habitualisation & socialisation training. This means lots of initial
exposure to new 'things' that are structured & positive to help assist
Colin in becoming a sound & solid life-time companion.
Colin is one confident & happy little dude. He is extremely intelligent
& super energetic. Like any young working breed pup, Colin will
also require mental stimulation, possibly in the form of trick training/
obedience type activities & on-going guidance, feedback &
leadership. Particularly as he enters his next teen developmental
stage.
Colin currently lives in a very active house-hold with 2 humans, 2
felines & 2 canines. His current regime is physical exercise,
obedience & life-skills training every other day.
Colin gets to go to his foster carers work on a farm where he gets to
meet other folks & practice crate training & being alone. He also
goes to Dog Day Care every fort-night for structured socialising with
other dogs. Colin is crate trained & is an inside outside dog. Inside
rules are sitting on his bed & sleeping in his crate at night. We are
currently embarking on his leash skills for walking & learning not to
chase his feline sister & brother.
Colin would suit an active household with people that have had
prior experience & a sound understanding of living with working
type breeds dogs.
He’s a real delight to have around & keeps us on our toes :-)
