Tedi is a delightful young 6month old red & tan female kelpie wanting her forever home.
Tedi is very smart and learning quickly. She is very energetic and playful, true to the kelpie breed. When she first arrived with us just before Christmas she was extremely hyperactive and very naughty! Since then we have been working hard with treat based obedience training and is doing very well with it. Also feeding her a good quality preservative free dog food has made a big difference. She has since learnt to sit and wait for her food, wait to be invited inside or out, waiting when our gates open and not rushing through. She can also sit and lay (drop). I don’t think she’ll be too far of learning to shake paws! Although like all puppies she still requires a lot of ongoing training and persistence with her new owners and knowing the kelpie breed she’ll need a lot to do to keep her busy.
She is very happy to sleep in a crate and also happy to sleep outside in a kennel or pet trampoline bed. She comes inside and mostly puts herself to bed in the crate. She hasn't had any toilet accidents inside since she's been here. She is ok with children, however I believe she would be better suited to older children who are able to cope with her jumping and train her. She's learning to chase balls, although having two other ball chasers in our home she doesn't stand much of a chance!

She loves tug of war with her rope toys. She chews a lot being a puppy so don't leave shoes out. We just leave lots of toys and she mostly occupies herself with them. She loves her kong with treats and will happily sit there for hours. She loves chasing and playing wrestle games with our two other kelpies. Tedi loves all food and needs a go-slow bowl to slow her down.
Tedi is so fast and agile. If she went to right home who had time to train her I believe she would be an amazing working dog or even just a pet for an active person or family. She would even excel at agility.
She is a lap dog inside and would love to be a loving companion to the right person, maybe even a great tradesman's dog with the right training! She can jump so she'll need at least 6ft fences! She doesn't try escape here as she has the company of our other dogs when we our out. She is great with our two indoor Persians, under supervision of course.
Unfortunately Tedi’s previous owner was unable to continue caring for Tedi due to having her first baby. Knowing Tedi well she would not be appropriate to have around a baby or young children until she calms down. I took her on hoping to keep her with our growing Kelpie Family! Unfortunately she has been showing some aggression towards one of my kelpies for no reason. I’m concerned that as she gets bigger the aggression could get worse and end up in severe fights. She’s great with my other kelpie. It has been a very heartbreaking and difficult decision for both us and Tedi’s previous owner. We are in constant contact to find Tedi the right home. Please know that we are only finding Tedi a new home to allow her to live to her full potential and be free to be Tedi!
Tedi will need a big yard or land would be even better, someone or a family dedicated to give her the love she deserves and training. Perhaps she would be better in a one dog house hold but be socialised regularly with other dogs in the community.
Please also note Tedi is fully vaccinated, wormed, heart wormed, flee treated & microchipped. She is not yet desexed and will not be going to her new home until she is desexed and fully recovered. She will not be free to her new owners. I just ask the new owner pay for her desexing fee. I also need to organise her lifetime registration, I’m just waiting for her to be desexed to do this.
If you think you are the right forever owner of Tedi and meet the above requirements in Tedi’s profile please call me
