Meet Kelly
Breed: Huntaway
Barking from: Taihape
What's up dog?
My name is Kelly and I am a 2,5 year old Huntaway. I go to work on a Sheep and Beef farm everyday as without me, my œHooman would not be able to work properly. I love my job and I am very passionate about it. I have a good bark because only with a good bark the sheep/cattle will move forward and in the direction I want them to go. I drive them with my bark from the back and make sure none of them escapes. I usually work together with my team mates Chase (another Huntaway) and Skye (a heading dog) I am also very useful in the sheep yards where I drive the sheep with my bark through the races. If they are naughty, then they get told off by me.
