Bc X Kelpie, Obed/flyball Trained, Excep Potential

[caro]

Mickydee is looking for a home!

Are you looking for a fantastic dog that would be the companion of a lifetime? Or a potential top-level sporting competition dog that has already had basic training painstakingly instilled?

If so, and you have a well-fenced yard area and you allow your dogs to spend time inside with you on a daily basis as well as doing lots of fun and active things outside, Mickydee would love to meet you. .

Almost one year old, he is a medium-sized, short-coated black border collie x kelpie and is one of the most special dogs his foster mum has met, which is saying a lot, as she has had a dozen foster dogs in the past few years.

Mickydee is obedience trained to a high level and regularly attends classes at local clubs (upper red Newcastle, level four Northern Suburbs), where several instructors have commented that he has the potential to go onto UD level. He sits, drops, stands, comes, heels, rolls over, barks on command, fetches a ball, jumps upon command (has done a couple of baby agility classes) and can be trusted off-lead even in the state forest. He is also already doing a full flyball run, with ball back to tug toy.

He loves travelling in the car, gets on well with other dogs and loves people and children. He does not bark excessively, is house-trained and knows where his mat is in the family room and goes to it upon command.

He is without doubt an exceptional dog and if his foster mum wasn't bursting at the seams with pedigree youngstock he would be staying with her for ever.

Mickydee will be $250 desexed, vaccinated and microchipped. Please only enquire if you can meet the criteria mentioned at the beginnning of the story and have some experience with dogs.

Mickydee can be viewed by arrangement in Wyong where he lives, or on some Saturdays at Northern Suburbs (St Ives) and some Sundays Newcastle (Hillsborough)
