Bailey

Hi, Nice to meet you!

I’m Bailey or Sir Bailey as I’m sometimes referred to by my foster parents. I am a gentle, sweet and loving 1 year old kelpie. I love nothing more than a good pat or belly rub from the humans that I trust, and adore napping near your feet. I am quite petite for a kelpie, and even though I am slow to trust people I am still a fun-loving kelpie at heart.

I absolutely love playing with other kind and friendly dogs, and even enjoy sharing bed with my foster sister. I am still a little timid about the world, but have come a very long way in foster care. I now enjoy my walks out and about, but am still learning to gain confidence in new areas. I have learnt to walk on lead, but still need some reminding to not pull as I’m very keen to sniff all of the new smells. I absolutely love playing and bouncing around with other friendly dogs, but I can still get overwhelmed at times.

I need a family that will continue to provide me with the skills to gain confidence, but also help stimulate my kelpie brain with regular structured training. Although I love nothing more than napping at your feet, being a kelpie I still need regular physical and mental exercise.

A family with prior kelpie or working dog experience would suit me well, with a confident friendly doggy pal who can show me the ropes. I enjoy spending time with the humans that I trust, so would love my family to be at home the majority of the time. I sleep well inside in my crate at night and have basic commands.

I would do well in a household with no young children and that isn’t too noisy. When given space I love to run around, and would love a little hobby farm or home away from the busy city. I’m still working on my recall, but as my confidence improves each day so does my recall. I really want to please my humans, so once I trust you, I am very easy to train.

I can’t wait to cuddle up with my forever family and become your best friend.

Lots of licks,

Sir Bailey
