Evie --- (posted 2/4/2018) ---
Evie is a lovely and athletic girl who has developed a noise phobia,
which sees her try to escape the yard if she is outside and home alone when the
noise occurs. Evie can jump quite high fences, so a management
strategy would be essential. This might be as simple as keeping her
indoors. Evie is very smart and very trainable. She is also very fast
and fit. Evie likes people and she is OK with other dogs, although
small ones tend to get rounded up. She would love a home with another
similar sized dog. For more info on Evie please contact Lisa on 0408
484 152.
Hunter --- (posted 8/4/2018) ---
Hunter is a gorgeous mature boy, one of two littermates living in his current
household. Unfortunately, the two boys have never gotten along well,
and the family have decided that both dogs would be happier living the
second halves of their lives without the stress of cohabitation.
Hunter is a slightly anxious boy, and he gets licky when he is
excited. He loves people, especially his family, and he is not predatory with other animals.
Hunter is used to be an outside dog, but he is very trainable (has an
excellent recall) and he would love to spend time indoors with his
family.
If you have always wanted a BC but didn't want to start with a
youngster, then Hunter might be perfect. For more info on Hunter
please contact Vicki on 0438 532 969 or alternatively 0456 650 660.
Lucca --- (posted 10/6/2018) ---
Lucca is a handsome black and white boy with a beautiful coat and
lovely markings. He is a friendly social dog when he is out and about,
and he enjoys the dog park. However, when he is at home Lucca sees his
role as protector of the home and yard, and he behaves aggressively
towards people he doesn't know if they attempt to enter the yard. This
behaviour can probably be moderated with some effort and positive
re-inforcement training. Lucca needs to learn that strangers in the
yard are OK, and this will take some time to achieve. If you want a
companion dog who would also
warn visitors or intruders away, then he might be ideal as he is. Lucca is
desexed. Lucca is not suitable for a home with small children. For more
information on Lucca please contact Gianna on 0410478432
Indy --- (posted 16/6/2018) ---
Indy is a very cute black and white girl with a black patch over one
eye. She is super friendly, with people, including strangers and
children, and also with other dogs. Indy is also very well trained.
Indy is seeking a quiet location with a secure yard.
She has one issue - a fairly high level of anxiety,
particular around some noises. For her, the worst noise is construction
work, power tools in particular. Her only solution when she gets anxious is
to escape and she will dig, or climb or leap until she is away. She
always comes back, but her current neighbourhood is constantly
undergoing construction, and she isn't happy.
If you are looking for a middle-aged, active and loving black and white dog with
an easycare smooth coat, and can provide the security she needs then
please contact Cassandra on 0439 043 757 or email

Bella --- (posted 23/6/2018) ---
Bella is a gorgeous BC girl who has anxiety issues and needs a
household with the time to manage them, and help her learn to be
calmer. Bella is anxious about other dogs, especially small ones, and
so walking her is not straightforward. Her fear will cause her to snap
at whatever is frightening her. This seems context based
because at home she is excited and happy with
people she knows, including the family children.
Bella doesn't like to be groomed or bathed and going to the vets is
hard work, due to her fear. She also gets carsick, possibly also
anxiety related. It would be great for Bella to find an experienced
dog home which could work with a vet on her anxiety, and over time see
her more settled and relaxed. Bella is an outside dog, preferring not
to come indoors.

Milo --- (posted 20/7/2018) ---
Milo is an aristocratic looking chocolate boy with a predominantly
white face and fully pricked ears. His dark eyes and his nose match
his deep chocolate markings perfectly. Milo's family are moving and
they need to find a new home urgently. Milo would love to live with
another BC. He would also like a home that has some experience with
BCs, as he is an anxious boy and can be nippy (so no homes with small
children please). He loves playing fetch, of course. For more
information on Milo please contact the Akehurst's on 02 8097 7002 or Mel
on 0451639326
