Looking for homes

Three different dogs, looking for different homes. These pups are all currently with Nan Lloyd, in Darkan, and she's trying to find the perfect home for each of them. If you think you may be able to help, contact Nan Lloyd on:

This is Meeka, a very athletic, active 11 month girl who would be fantastic in an agility or dogsport home, or just as a companion in an active family. Believe it or not, she's a New Zealand Heading Dog x Border Collie- absolutely NO kelpie blood! She has an excellent sheepdog pedigree: bred by Ken Atherton, her father is Knight, a NZHD from top trialling lines, and her mother (Deej) is a Boylee Doug-Perengery Jill daughter (same litter as Danny, father of Ceilydh's pups).

Meeka just hasn't switched on to sheep yet- she probably will eventually, given enough time, but she'd be just as happy doing something else. She is an amazing jumper, very quick and keen to learn, walks nicely at heel and is very friendly with people and dogs.



























This little tacker is, well, a midget. He's a purebred working kelpie with a very nice pedigree, he's active and playful and very friendly, and rigorous targetted vet checks can find nothing wrong with him. He's just very small, and the vet thinks he's likely to stay very small. Might be a 400 agility dog ;)





















This is another really well-bred little kelpie man, but unfortunately he seems to have suffered some sort of brain injury at birth (sort of canine cerebral palsy), and moves a bit like he's had a few too many bevvies. The vet thinks he may improve as he ages, and he can certainly lead a happy, active life, but he'll never make a sheepdog, so he;s in urgent need of a pet home, where he can enjoy lots of snuggling and play.
