Description
Dog Breed: Australian Kelpie. Dahlia is a loving, loyal, and very goofy girl. She is always down to play with her favorite toys, a racquet ball or tennis ball, squeaky stuffed animals or a cardboard box, she just loves to play with you. She also loves to run so a yard is a must. At night after a long walk, she loves to cuddle on the couch and sleep until it's time for bed. Dahlia was adopted July 2022 and was a little over a year old, so i think her birthday is about June 2021. She is anxious around other dogs so would need to be the only one in the house, but I think with time and training, it's fixable. She was attacked so she is skeptical of unfamiliar dogs. She has never been around a cat so i'm not sure how she would react around them. As for children, smaller children make her nervous since they're so close to her face and she can get a little over excited and jumpy so it's best to have older kids in a house. Dahlia now knows sit, down, stay(sometimes), still learning "come" but she loves learning, and weighs in at a svelte 52 lbs. If you feel your home might be the right place for this wonderful dog, the place to start is with the adoption application found at .dfwrescueme/adopt. Once submitted, the foster will contact you to tell you more, and to arrange a meeting! The adoption fee for all of our dogs is $300.00, which includes their vaccinations and spay/neuter. Dahlia is participating in the DFW Rescue Me Guest Dog Program, so custody and ongoing care are provided by the foster, not by DFWRM.

Overview:
The Australian Kelpie is a highly intelligent and energetic working dog, originating in Australia during the 19th century specifically for herding sheep in vast, challenging terrains. Physically, they are medium-sized dogs with a lean, muscular build, typically weighing between 25-45 pounds and standing 17-20 inches tall. Their short, weather-resistant double coat comes in various colors, including black, red, fawn, chocolate, and smoke, often with tan markings. Temperamentally, Kelpies are known for their unwavering loyalty, boundless energy, and remarkable trainability, making them exceptional at dog sports and tasks. However, their high drive means they are generally not suitable for apartment living and thrive in active families or individuals who can provide extensive exercise and mental stimulation. While a generally robust breed, some common health considerations include progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) and hip dysplasia, though responsible breeding practices minimize these risks. Their intelligence and eagerness to please make them rewarding companions for those who understand and can meet their demanding needs.
