About Poppy:

Poppy is a medium-sized, female Huntaway, aged 4 years old.

Description:

Poppy is a happy, affectionate little girl with a big personality and an even bigger love for people. Full of energy and enthusiasm. She loves being involved in whatever is happening around her and is especially fond of following children around and joining in with family activities.
While she originally came from a working home, she has had very little work over the past two years and is now much more accustomed to life as a companion. When around stock, she is happy to follow other dogs and understands the environment, but she would need a very gentle and patient handler if she were to return to any type of working role. Her future home does not need to be a working one, and she is likely to be happiest as an active family companion who can enjoy plenty of exercise, adventure, and involvement in daily life.
She gets along well with other dogs, although she can be protective of her food, so sensible management around feeding times is recommended. She has met cats and has shown curiosity rather than aggression, but any resident cats should be introduced carefully and managed appropriately. Her experience with chickens is unknown.
Poppy walks nicely on lead and knows how to sit. Her recall when focused is excellent, but she can become distracted by the exciting things happening around her. Continued training will help build consistency.
She appears comfortable in new situations and tends to take things in her stride, although she has not had extensive exposure to different environments. Poppy has been an outside dog up until now and generally waits to toilet outside of her kennel.
She has not yet been left completely alone for extended periods and may bark occasionally.
Poppy travels happily in a dog box on the back of a Ute, although she has not yet been tested travelling inside a car.
Poppy would suit an active home where she can be included as part of the family and given regular exercise, companionship, and ongoing training. In return, she will bring endless affection, plenty of fun, and her joyful, bouncy personality to lucky adopters.
