This is Suki who was found wandering the streets of Penrith. She was smelly, very hungry, nameless, no collar, no microchip and ended up a timid and scared waif in the pound. Since in foster care she has come out of her shell and is now a happy-go-lucky puppy easily making friends with people, children and other dogs. Suki is a chocolate Labrador/kelpie cross and has the unmistakeable body shape of a Labrador but is smaller and much finer boned. She has the Labrador ears and tail but with a kelpie face and eyes. Her teeth are very good and she has a glossy coat indicative of a young healthy dog. Suki as a puppy is quite active and until she is about two years old will need a daily walk of at least a half hour.

Although Suki is steadily getting to know her name she will respond and return with a whistle. She is in need of puppy training but she is learning to sit on command and is responding well to house training. She is cat tolerant as she shows no inclination to attack or chase a cat

Suki is very affectionate and loves to be close to her carer as she will be with her new owner. When left alone she will whine for a little while but then settle down to await the return of the owner/carer. Suki is not a barker and is certainly not a fence jumper. She has a sweet, gentle nature with people and very playful in the company of other dogs. Suki would suit a working family.

Suki walks very well on the lead and does not pull, she is content to walk alongside or just behind her handler. In the car Suki usually sleeps or tries to snuggle up against the driver or passenger.
