Nothing gets between Dex and his ball!
Always need a back-up!

Dexter is a rescue Kelpie who was waiting in foster care for 12 months to find the right forever home. He is a high drive, ball-obsessed working dog who had no off-switch. He needed a home where he could use that drive for more productive activities than pestering people to throw his tennis balls. After less than 24 hours with us, Dexter started learning some self-control and years later, he is unrecognisable from the dog we picked up!
Dexter has many quirks, but most amusingly he is able to carry two tennis balls in his mouth, while collecting others with his paws and nudging them over to other dogs or humans! His entire life revolves around tennis balls so he of course, adores playing fetch (for 12 hours straight if you let him, trust me, we've done it!). We have done a lot of work channelling his ball drive and increasing his tug and food drive to add some more versatility to his reward system. He will now even drop his ball for a tug! Dexter has rounded out our family perfectly, sleeping on our bed at night and chilling on the couch when we aren't playing or training. He is super easy to live with and just loves to please. He is always up for a run, hike or a simple walk, though in all of those options, Dex would say we aren't moving fast enough! Dexter has recently made his debut in Flyball and is preparing for his first appearance in the Obedience, Rally and Agility rings. We look forward to seeing what unfolds for Dex who, from what we can see, has huge amounts of potential! Thank you to FarmDogz Rescue for the privilege of welcoming Dexter into our lives. |
