My name is Kipper!

Kipper is a very sweet and loving Australian Cattle dog (Heeler)/Beagle mix. His personality is almost all Heeler. He is high energy and likes to exercise/play. As far as he's concerned, fetching his ball is his job and he takes it very seriously. He would do well in a home with older kids or no kids, with owners who are well-acquainted with Heeler behavior and training. He doesn't like to be alone for long and once he finds 'his person' he is loyal as can be. We've had him since July 2024 and we're looking to find him a new home now because my two youngest kids are just too young for him and we overwhelm him. Also, I unfortunately don't have the time or knowledge to give him the training he so desperately longs for. He needs a lot of space to run once he is trained, and would do well if he was given an actual job on a farm, or somewhere like it. He can be quite territorial in our own yard so we aren't sure how he would do in a home with other dogs. Let me know if he's right for you.
