Meet Beau
Breed: New Zealand Huntaway
Barking from: Palmerston North
What's up dog?
Beau is the stereotypical class clown, he always brings happiness & enjoyment to those around him. Its never a dull day when Beau is in the office. Hes always up for pats and is there for anyone that needs cheering up. Outside of work and home, he is a very active sport dog who travels around New Zealand for competitions and almost always comes home with a ribbon (or a few!) proving his consistency and stability in whatever hes doing. He is very close to making Champion in one sport with another on the horizon likely sometime next year. Being a dog that was bred to move livestock with his gloriously loud bark, keeping him quiet when hes excited is a struggle but we have persevered and now getting recognition from other handlers for the change. He loves a good adventure and exploring new places but being the good herding dog he is, his true love will always be working sheep.
