Sayreovi Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 (edited) This thread is just putting out feelers at the moment. Have picked up my latest fosters a few hours ago, and they are stunning. Both have really nice temps, very sound, my little sister dropped a wire door that went crashing....my dogs scattered, these two just stood there with cocked heads LOL Poor little Darcy, he is at the bottom of an even bigger group of dogs, the little brown tan girl who is literally 1/3 of his size, has told him off for being annoying and he immediately threw himself to the ground tail tucked between his legs Still cant believe he got told off by a puppy :D I will have more temp info when they are here longer but here is a basic description. Alexis/Lexi, she is divine, very calm and sweet.....was a bit standoffish at first but they have just been taken from one side of the state to another. Was a little possessive if she was sitting near me, with my dogs at first, but is calming a bit now. She really is gorgeous. Bella/Belle - Black Tan girl, very very friendly and happy puppy. Was desperately trying to get her sister to play but stuck with chewing on Novas ear LOL. Pretty much sums her up, she is just very friendly and happy. They would be great agility/flyball dogs and being Kelpies would need plenty of mental and physical exercise. Will post pictures when my camera charges lol. ETA: Ive been told they are approximately 15 weeks.....i honestly have no idea they are soo small i am not used to puppies so not sure what size they should be at any age.

Pink Panther Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 awwh, now that I know about them, I wish I was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trisven13 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 So glad they arrived safely - their brother and sister Tooheys & Moet are still here in Albury. Moet is nowhere near as confident as the other three but just in case anyone is after a male, Tooheys is the same lovely red & tan as his sister in Melbourne - and just as ballsy! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayreovi Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 Just waiting for pictures too load then i will post some. Nova and Belle have been playing together a bit, Nova will lay on his back and she will leap at him it is very funny too watch considering the size difference. She has begun to follow him around to his dismay, seeing as she keeps licking his mouth and rolling over in front of him haha. Little brown girl is coming around, more open to both us and the dogs. Has certainly found her voice lol This girl is gorgeous, with her big bat ears lol. She is going to be one of those dogs that are going to snob off everyone but her family.

Lablover Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Tollersowned, Just wanted to add. Good for you, helping rescue dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayreovi Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 Finally some photos. I still cant think of a name for the brown tan girl, she is reserved and shy but is able to stand up for herself quite well. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayreovi Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 (edited) Some more Dont mind Darcy lol, he wasnt too impressed with the fact that she came over and layed down like that. Photo was taken just before she snatched the toy and run lol Little Belle (black tan girl) has excellent dog manners, the other girl needs a bit of working as she considers everything she touches hers and defends it much to the amusement of my two who are 3 times her size.

I love the black and tan???? Where did they come from????? Would make fantastic herding dogs as well. Shame you are so far away. Good luck finding them a home. Try putting them on Ozherders as well.

Sayreovi Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 How do i get onto Ozherders? They came from Albury, so they may have been the "leftovers" from a working litter that they couldnt sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausdogsx6 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I rescued a kelpie from the Albury area also. She is just like your little brown and tan one. The bloke that had her reckoned that she was too small to work sheep. Didnt make any sense to me but I am really pleased to be Chelsea's mother. I wonder if they have come from the same place. Chelsea is probably about 8 months old now and a real joy to have in our pack. If that bloke only new what he has lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ausdogsx6 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 oops, I had a bit of trouble sending her photo. Looks like it sent my message with every try. Sorry guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noneybur Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Oz Herders is a Yahoo Group. There is a lot of herding people in this group and working kelpies would be a breed that some people would want to take on. Herding is a growing dog sport.

miccar96 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Do you have a name for the little brown girl yet ? What about Fleur ( french for flower) or Flora means Flowering. Would any of those names suit ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayreovi Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 Thanks, i should have changed my original post, but yes she has a name, its Alexis or Lexi. Suits her really well actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
