We have 2 x Kelpie x Cattle pups - 6 months old, that need homes.
They would make great family dogs, I also see potential to be trained as working dogs, as both parents are working dogs and they want to work our other farm animals.
They attach to us and want to please us and be with us always and are very loving with us. It's really coming down to they keep going at all the other animals, and getting at our chickens constantly.
We've had them for 4 1/2 months, so they are still young enough to be trained and also attach to someone else. I don't have the facilities to keep all animals seperate from each other. Nor do I know how to train them as working dogs etc.
I got them as pets for the children which they are wonderful with the kids. I have to keep them tied constantly and keep a watch on them constantly, just for the other farm animals. I just can't anymore. We came home and one of them got of her lead and got the all our chickens.
They would be great pets(if no other farm animals, or had an enclosure), but I do also see potential to be trained up as working dog. We have a golden retriever that they get along great with,it's just the chickens horses etc that they want to work on.
I hope someone can give them the home they need. I'm overloaded with other commitments and don't know how to solve this other than find them other suitable loving homes.
