Ria - 11 month old female Australian Kelpie

Ria was born on 4th September 2007. She was adopted from a local pound as a Collie cross. Unfortunately for her family, who loved her dearly, she grew into an Australian Kelpie! For those who are not familiar with the breed, they are Australian sheep dogs and bred to work the vast sheep stations. Now, Kelpies need a lot of stimulation and exercise for the brain as well as the body.

Ria’s family were lovely and have done a great job with her so far: she is excellent with people, children, cats and with other dogs too, but does herd them in a multi-dog situation, with a bit of ankle nipping - Kelpie style - to hurry them along!

However, her previous owners’ lifestyle and energy levels didn’t match Ria’s so she is now seeking another family to carry on where they left off with extras! She will need at least regular attendance at training classes, and lots of walks, but ideally someone who would like to do agility.”
