🐾Copi is relaxed and loving. She is a 6 year old heading dog. She enjoys being around people and other dogs; she would be best suited to someone that works on a farm/lifestyle block or works from home, as she gets lonely when left alone. She doesn't bat an eye at ducks, chickens, sheep or cattle - she is pretty cruisey.

Her owners inherited Copi from a family member. Despite her being truly lovely and affectionate, she is a working dog that won’t "work", so they are looking to rehome her. If they didn't already have a large dog team they would love to keep her. It appears Copi's first owner treated her more as a pet/companion than a working dog, so she didn't receive the training a working dog should when she was young. Attempts to train her since have proved futile, she just isn't interested. She would much rather play with the other dogs in our large dog team or play fetch with a squeaky toy.

💥Rose has been adopted ❤️

Rose is a beautiful Huntaway retired cattle farm dog, 10 years old. Her owners have had her for 3 years and will be very sad to see her go but they are re-homing Rose due to change in circumstances.

Rose is very kind and loving, always down for a good scratch and cuddle. She will come up to you and nudge your arm to lift it up for some loving. She is great around children, and dogs she knows (unsure about dogs not known to her) She still knows some of her commands.

Got a loving retirement home for Rose? Contact her owner via the link below:
