		Pocket Rocket: Bandit Age: 10 months approximately Breed: Kelpie X Sex: Male Size: Small/medium Description: Bandit is a unique little fellow - he looks like a small Kelpie apart from his legs, which are quite short in comparison with his body. Bandit has Kelpie energy and athleticism but in a small package, so would suit a home that wanted a fun and energetic dog that was not too large. Bandit is friendly and well mannered towards other dogs and enjoys a game with his doggie friends. He loves a walk and sits for his lead to be put on, then walks nicely when he goes out. He also amuses himself playing with his toys. When not being active, Bandit finds a comfortable spot and stretches out for a snooze. With his intelligence, willingess to learn and athletic ability Bandit would make a good candidate for obedience training and dog sports. Participating in learning new things would also keep his mind occupied and would be a great way to develop the bond between Bandit and his new family. Bandit is house trained and sleeps quietly at night in his crate inside the house. Although Bandit enjoys the company of other dogs, human company is the most important thing for him. Bandit needs a home where he will be treated as part of the family and included in their everyday life including trips in the car, regular walks and relaxing together with his family during the evenings or when they are home during the day. He would not suit a home where he was required to live outside or where he was left on his own for long periods of time. Bandit has a short easy care coat. Bandit is microchipped, desexed, C5 vaccinated, wormed, and available for $300 (incl GST).

	Movie Star Quality: Sasha Sex: Female Age: 18 months-2 years Breed: Terrier x Size: Small/medium Description: This lovely girl is straight out of a ‘scruffy dog’ Walt Disney movie! We haven’t had Sasha in our home for long but so far we have found her to be a very sweet natured, loving and extremely responsive dog. She is very quick to learn, can sit and will stay at the door while you walk through. It seems she will do anything to please you so I have no doubt further training with Sasha will be a pleasure. It’s obvious Sasha has been well socialised with other dogs because she has fitted in really well with my three male terriers. She started playing almost immediately with my younger dog so in her new home she’d probably be happiest with another dog for play and company. Toys and balls are one of this gorgeous girls great loves often walking around with a ball or toy in her mouth. She’ll race after a ball when you throw it sometimes bringing it back and sometimes taking it off and quietly sitting with it. She’s also happy to play with toys by herself but mostly seeking out another dog to join her. Sasha has fairly moderate exercise needs so would a enjoy a daily walk to keep her fit and stimulated however she does love a good run around the yard too (mostly playing chase games with the other dogs). She can get a little excited when she greets you so probably best suited to a home with children 10 yrs or over. Sasha has good mealtime manners and will take treats quite gently. She sleeps very quietly at night happy to stay in the laundry with the other dogs. Her coat is soft and seems easy care so a quick brush once a week would do the trick. This girl is a wonderful all round beautiful dog who would make a great addition to most families. Sasha is microchipped, desexed, C5 vaccinated and wormed and available for $300 (incl GST).
