This little boy is a very placid and quiet boy who is a little timid around people and places. He is very affectionate and loving once trust has been gained. I believe he would be a beautiful companion for someone he appears to be a very loyal and loving little dog who needs a helping hand to build up his confidence. Introduced to CRM/RFS: 5902/2012 Stafford x. This little fella was very shy when meeting the staffy x he hid behind me, after a while he sniffed the staffy and felt more comfortable he followed the staffy for a little while then came back to sit by my side. He shares a pen with two other small dogs, he is very quiet in the pen and appears to get along with them well.

Meet Charlie, surrendered by a young couple who did not have the time to devote to him and were perplexed by the consequences of his boredom in a suburban backyard. Well, the rest is history. Charlie has plenty of push and is a tireless worker who is now being trained to work dairy stock. Added to this, he is an extremely friendly type who will do anything to please his master. Charlie is now being tweaked and, with two weeks of full training, will be available for adoption soon.

Huey arrived with a hairline fracture to his right foreleg which requires splinting, bandage changes and confinement. In true cattle dog style, he takes all of this in his stride. Huey is a lively and loving dog with lots of character. He is a typical cattle dog, being loyal and always at your side, and has a good nature, getting on well with his gentle foster sister and rather bossy foster brother. When introduced to cattle and horses, he was interested but calm, although he hasn’t been into the paddock with them. He chases cats with fervour, and a home with cats would not be recommended. Huey is biddable and responds well to commands and is progressing very well with his toilet training. He has been left in a crate while his fracture has been healing and has shown no signs of being destructive to his bandage or his bedding. He loves nothing better than to cuddle up next to you or sit at your feet, but does not appreciate being excluded from company and will become demanding if this happens (barking). He therefore requires a home where he is included as part of the family, and then he will be a loving and loyal companion. He is a little protective of his home but has shown no signs of aggression.

Bear is a friendly energetic dog. He has had some training to work cattle but would equally suit an active family that would like to make him a big part of their every day life. He is sweet and never without his smile. He would be best suited in a home without cats or other small animals but gets along well with other dogs. Does Bear look like the companion you are looking for to keep you company on your next adventure?

Dear little Snip(pet) is a very inquisitive pup. She will investigate her surroundings and not be threatened by the unusual. She is gentle and comes when she’s called (albeit a bit delayed if she’s busy with something). She loves cuddles and being with people, especially children. She is one of four kelpie x pups from an original six from Grafton, NSW. She holds her own in the pack despite being smaller than the boys and will make an excellent allround, family dog.

Rocket is a 1 year old Kelpie X loving boy who is full of energy and just wants to play. He is still a little bit shy and would suit a family with older children as he jumps a bit. He is very gentle even when he jumps and lands very nibbly on you. He can stand on two feet when he want to look at something, which makes him look a bit like a large meer cat! Rocket is very good with other dogs and plays well with them. He adapts well to change. He loves cuddles and kisses and can sit when asked.
