Sparky or Sparkle as Geoff calls her which incidentally suits her much better is a lovely girl.
She has come out of her shell and has been to the pub with Geoff this week where she greeted all and sundry with enthusiasm.
Sparkle is much smaller than she looks in her photos about Springer Spaniel size. She is in fact a Collie cross Kelpie rather than the full Kelpie we thought she was.
Even though she is shy when meeting new people and this may put people off at first she is a very affectionate girl.

Sparky is a ten month old Kelpie who didn’t want to work sheep she liked to lay in of a morning much more.
She has settled in well with Jeff and his five dogs and horse, is a favourite with Jeff’s friends at the pub and being a Kelpie able to keep up with the high brow
discussions.
Being young she likes to pinch anything that may be edible or chewable and just this morning whipped the butter off Jeff’s kitchen counter and gobbled it up before he could take it off her.
Kelpies are highly intelligent more intelligent then a lot of people depending on the circles you mix in,
she could give David Cameron a run for his money in a political debate.
Kelpies are active dogs and need mental stimulation too.
We think that Sparky will be good with cats as she has come from a farm where there were farm cats.
She is also good with children.

One thought on “Sparkle (a.k.a Sparky)”

  1. Hi, I am looking for a dog for my mother who lives on portland, She has just had her constant companion a border collie put to sleep due to old age and is not looking for another dog, My main issue is that she does have 6 cats that do mainly live indoors so we are looking for a dog which is great with cats, A young medium sized dog would be great, one that enjoys constant company and two long walks a day,
    Thank you so much
