This Charming Man

is desperately seeking a new home.



Musty (a name to which none of us are that attached) belongs to a relative who basically doesn't want him anymore. It's not Musty's fault, there's nothing wrong with him, he's just in the wrong place at the wrong time.


Yes, that's a slightly suspicious look- I'd just rocked up at his kennel with a dozen strange dogs running loose around me- but Musty's a cool kid, and made his introductions, offered to play and shared his leftover bones with them all. No noise, no fuss.


He's a "two and a bit" year old farm-bred kelpie (no papers), medium sized and athletic, a handsome dark solid red. He has basic training as a yard dog (barks and works the outside of a race) and is castrated. He's a happy, friendly, active boy who loves people, gets along well with other dogs, has no issue with other dogs, and has been visiting other farms and feedlots since he was a pup, so he's pretty well socialised and takes strange places, noises, dogs and people in his stride.



I don't think Musty's particularly fussy about what sort of home he finds- he just wants something to do and someone to do it with. He's a clever energetic young dog who just wants to please his people.

Standing a little oddly because he's on a rock:


He would be a fantastic agility/obedience option for someone that wants to start training with a young adult, and with a little bit of basic education he'd make a great family dog for an active home. Or if anyone wants a great mate to give them a hand in the sheepyards, he's up for that too.



For any more information on Musty, just email me (nabudi@bigpond.com) or post in comments!

He's absolutely gorgeous. Too bad there's an ocean between us or I might would have to snatch him up!

Ok, this is weird. My comment disappeared!! Yikes. Anyway, what I was trying to say is that he's awful handsome - too bad there's an ocean between us!

Gee, Laura, I'm almost tempted to stuff him in a crate and send him over... Still no new home for Musty, but hopefully we have something in the pipeline.
