More About Me
Likes, Dislikes, Fears, Endearments and Quirks
Typical of the Kelpie Heeler, Quinn is active, intelligent, friendly, playful and eager to please her human companions. 

Loyal to her owners and wary of strangers, this breed has a natural herding instinct and tendency to nip although Quinn is learning to curtail this. 
 

Quinn is affectionate, smart, gorgeous, loving, easily trained and generally very well behaved.  She takes time to warm to strangers and is naturally protective.

​
Ideal Owner
Active singles or couples, perhaps with older kids, home more often  than not and able to continue Quinn's training. 

Quinn is currently living with another friendly dog but tends to want all the attention. Hence, we recommend she is the only permanent dog in the home but should be fine with friendly dogs that visit. 

Any kids should be at least teenagers and only if gentle and calm around dogs. No dog deserves to be rough housed or exposed to a loud, chaotic environment. 

Quinn will not suit homes where people live in very close proximity to each other with small outside areas e.g. villas, units, apartment complexes, terrace houses, strata complexes etc. 

As Quinn is people orientated she needs to be part of family activities.

She will not suit homes with residents that are:
  • very young, frail, elderly,
  • renters,
  • novice dog owners or
  • time poor.​
Tolerance to Being Alone During the Day
Will alert to something strange but is not currently a nuisance barker.
​
Quinn will suit any of the following:
  • someone home more often than not.
  • stay at home parent.
  • someone that works from home.
  • part time workers.
  • empty nesters.
  • active retirees.
Quinn occasionally digs if bored but this is improving. 
​​
Exercise Requirements
Medium - playful and moderately active.

When ON a lead ...
Quinn is well behaved unless distracted by another dog. 

When OFF a lead ...
Her recall is generally good unless distracted by another dog. Needs a little more work. 

Type of Yard Required
  • Medium to large interesting and secure.
  • May take advantage of an open gate and wander off but does not usually try and escape.
  • Ok with shoulder height fencing.
