Poppy

Say hello to Poppy!
Poppy is a gorgeous, young and intelligent little Kelpie who came into care a few months ago with a litter of pups, after 4 previous homes, so we are keen to ensure her next home is her last home! SHe has been with us for a while now awaiting the right home to come along.

Poppy's ideal home will be with an owner/family who understands the Kelpie breed well. In her current foster home, we have discovered that Poppy has a terrific instinct for sheep herding and we would love to find her an environment where her training in this area can continue, allowing Poppy to reach her full potential.

Having a job to do on a hobby farm will benefit Poppy greatly. She is a terrific little companion when invited inside and settles brilliantly when asked. She also loves cuddles and is good around children.

Poppy is crate trained, toilet trained, respectful around other dogs of varying ages and sizes, and knows some basic obedience (sit (with implied stay), place, kennel, and her release word "ok". She also walks very well on and off leash, however needs work on recall when around other animals as she becomes very focused. She loves going for car rides and walks in the bush. She really is the kind of dog you can take everywhere.

It is clear that our active girl does best in a home with another dog, so homes without another dog will unfortunately not be considered.

If you think you might have the perfect home for Poppy, we would love to hear from you!

Poppy is located in Ballarat. Due to the current Covid restrictions, we will only be taking enquiries from residents outside of the Metro Melbourne/Mitchell shire at this stage.
