Colby ~ 10wo Kelpie X Cattle Pup (22/12/20)

Meet Colby 10 week old Kelpie x Cattle
Sweetest boy you'll ever meet. He Loves his toys , toys and more toys. He also loves the water and will play for hours. As he is a mixture of high energy working breeds, Colby won't disappoint you in the energy department

We will grow up to be medium, and will need to attend puppy training classes and continued obedience training due to our size and breed.

We are at the puppy stage where we are biting a lot and chewing things so we need consistency in our training. We will also need a family that understand we will need a lot of exercise and mental stimulation or we will get bored.

Before applying for for one of us, I have some questions for you to consider:

-Have you thought about loving and caring for me for the next 12-15 years - maybe even longer ?

-I am a furever dog

-I won’t be a tiny puppy for long and will get up to mischief as I become a teenager. Are you ready for that?

-Have you thought about my extra puppy meals throughout the day?

-Will somebody be home more often than not to keep me socialised?

-I will most likely be a medium adult so do you have solid and tall fencing (5-6 foot) to keep me safe? No rural or wire fences as we have springs in our legs

-I won’t suit an apartment , courtyards or a small yard. I need a medium to large yard to play and rumble in!

-Have you thought about my ongoing physical training and mental stimulation (enrichment games) so that I don't get bored and destructive?

-Will I have access to inside at all times to ensure that I am a part of your family?

I'm watching and learning from you from the moment I open my eyes. Being inside means that I will learn what leads to praise and reward and what doesn't. Being under supervision also means I learn boundaries (crucial as I grow older) and means I am less likely to develop nuisance behaviours due to boredom.

As we are not yet desexed, we are only available for adoption to Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Central Coast and Port Stephens areas as I will need to be returned to our vet for desexing when I am approximately 5 months old. I am NOT available for long distance or interstate adoption.

I'm currently living in Glendale NSW (Suburb of Newcastle NSW).

My adoption fee is $600 which covers my desexing, vaccination, microchipping, flea and worming treatments. You can see all of our available dogs at www.dogrescuenewcastle.com.au
