Sparky or Sparkle as Geoff calls her which incidentally suits her much better is a lovely girl.
\nShe has come out of her shell and has been to the pub with Geoff this week where she greeted all and sundry with enthusiasm.
\nSparkle 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.
\nEven though she is shy when meeting new people and this may put people off at first she is a very affectionate girl.<\/p>\n

Sparky is a ten month old Kelpie who didn’t want to work sheep she liked to lay in of a morning much more.
\nShe 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
\ndiscussions.
\nBeing 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.
\nKelpies are highly intelligent more intelligent then a lot of people depending on the circles you mix in,
\nshe could give David Cameron a run for his money in a political debate.
\nKelpies are active dogs and need mental stimulation too.
\nWe think that Sparky will be good with cats as she has come from a farm where there were farm cats.
\nShe is also good with children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
