About Spy:

Spy is a small, male Heading Dog, aged 9-years-old.

Description:

Hi, I’m Spy. I’m a 9-year-old small male heading dog, living on a farm in Woodville.

My farmer says I’m a special guy.

I’m missing half my tail, for one thing.

A cow stood on it a few years back.

It sure hurt THEN but doesn’t bother me now though!

I also like to be picked up and carried.

I’ll sit on your shoulder if you’ll let me. See my picture?

I’m a particularly funny guy that keeps my farmer laughing.

You see, when I’m happy, I’ll show my pearly whites and give a great BIG smile!

I’ve been on my current farm for the past five years.

I moved here from a sheep and beef farm, where I wasn’t working much for them.

My current farmer seems to have had the magic touch with me though.

I work hard and I’m very productive.

But I do have an insulated kennel and I’m used to full bedding too.

I even wear jackets in the winter!

So, I’ve had it pretty good, and I know it.

I’ve lived with a beardie here that knew he was onto a good thing as well.

He lived to the ripe old age of 19!

And now that I’M pushing the double digits, my farmer asked me whether I’D like to retire.

Hmm… I’m thinking it WOULD give me more time to pursue my velcro dog interests.

I’m very passionate about following my people around, hoping for pats.

I’ll lean on them and nudge them with my nose.

My farmer says I’m a happy little guy that’s done the hard yards.

And he’d like me to enjoy my golden years.

He thinks I’d settle and be happy anywhere really – so long as I have some good exercise.

I’d do well on a lifestyle block, helping with sheep and cattle a little.

But I’d also be fine in town – with a decent fenced section.

Currently, I live with nine other working dogs. We all get along well.

I just slot into the group. I’m used to dog company, but I’d be fine living solo too.

While I can share my home easily with canines, FORGET the felines!

Feral cats have devastated the native birds on our farm and I do my very best to protect them.

Cats are my enemy because BIRDS are my friends, you see. I admire them.

That’s why I perch on shoulders like a parrot!

My farmer says he’s a little worried about me and my love of food.

He wants to warn potential adoptees that I’m the ideal weight and shouldn’t overeat!

In fact, he worries I’ll become a BALLOON with constant treats I’ll never turn down!

Outside my love of food, I’m a very easy-going guy to have round!

When the mood strikes, I’ll take myself off for a dip in the trough.

My farmer says swimming’s the BEST exercise for my joints.

I’m just a fun “very happy” guy. GREAT meeting new people. I love kids too!

My farmer says he’ll be sad to say farewell, but he likes to give every doggy the choice of when retirement feels right for them.

Oh, he did ask me to let you know I’m not fixed.

So, if you’re looking for a laugh-a-minute fun, loyal heading dog – that’s also part parrot – why not consider welcoming ME into your life?
