Introducing Joey the Kelpie

We’d like to properly introduce you all to the newest member of our family, Joey the Kelpie.
Joey arrived at the farm two weeks ago and has been undertaking a trial period to see if she might be a suitable adoption for us. Being quite a unique home environment for a rescue dog, we needed to be sure Joey could happily coexist with so many different dogs.
Joey has come from Working Paws, a rescue organisation that helps working breeds who have been rejected from Australian farms, be suitably rehomed. Before finding her way into foster care through Working Paws, Joey was on a sheep farm. It didn’t work out at the farm, and knowing Joey now, we can probably work out why it wouldn’t have. She’s already given our horse a nip on the nose and when she first arrived she was very focused on jockeying the dogs and not the activity/game. Not a great combo when herding sheep, and there was a lot of work in store for us.
Joey has gone through an intense period of training and socialisation over the last two weeks. We could tell from the minute we met her she was super intelligent and would respond very well to the language we teach at the farm.
In the two weeks, Joey has been helped to swim for the first time. She showed a very eager keenness to get in and swim with the pack, and after showing her and offering her lots of encouragement she has not only become a full farm fish ... she’s just started on Friday gone, to dive in. She’s a very quick learner and has a can do attitude we absolutely love!
Joey is somewhere between 10-14 months old and an incredibly sweet dog. From the first day she arrived she has showered us with hugs and kisses. She wants to snuggle with you on the couch with her whole body across your lap and her little nose buried into your arm pit. She loves the girls and they already love her back.
We’re excited to have Joey as a part of our family and to be able to give her a second chance life at the farm. We’re looking forward to sharing her journey with you all. Welcome Joey!

[@TheFarmForDogs]

[@pmenadue]

Best breed! Just please introduce people that know what to expect and are able to ensure kelpies get the exercise they need (mental and physical)

[@clairmeldrum1572]

Thank goodness you found your way to the Farm Joey! You're such a special girl who brightens up every day. 💖💖💖

[@elizabethgeyer-green9910]

I love Joey 🐕

[@timcoots]

Luke's first encounter he says, "Ready for big LIFE?". Truer words were never spoken. Should be farm moto.

[@Sunshine-nh4yk]

Joey is certainly in the right place…..Doggie Heaven. 😊. 💕💕💕

[@gerrydixon619]

I can see her saying to the others, 'hey guys, that's my dad!' Bless her, she is so pretty, may she bring you all happiness and joy. She's definitely a keeper!

[@jillbentley8926]

I watch this video once a week to get my Joey fix. I was following the channel for quite a while when she arrived, and she melted my heart. Love everything about her! 🥰

[@lindaflory24]

Such a wonderful video! Sweet to see Charlie in there too💗

[@anifarap]

I keep coming back to this video. Joey have this happy disposition everytime, makes one smile.

[@alchsam]

Wow, You can see how Joey is in love with Luke and her new family. Such a lucky dog who will have the best life.

[@TheFarmForDogs]

Thank you so much for your kind words and support

[@Jon.A.Scholt]

I was thinking the same! I just found this channel and have been binging it and Joey won the Doggo Lottery! I wish there was a spot I my area where I could have my puppy (she's 12 but still a puppy to me!) there to play around with the gang!

[@donnapenny7299]

Sweet Joey!

[@maxwellsmart7928]

Pretty sure I've watched this video 17x. Never stops delighting me

[@gossamerabba]

Same!! lol...never get bored with any of them.

[@mortalclown3812]

Just seeing it again. Love this pup..😊

[@tripdudette]

“Are you ready for a big life, Joey??” Oh yes she was AND still is, lucky little lady 🐾❤️.

[@gothicwestern]

Joey is such a precious dog. It's an absolute joy to watch her move around. That tail! Those ears!

[@thatsandgirl3046]

Bless you guys for your dedication to giving her a good life.💝

[@juliemay2912]

She's a clever dog, caught on very quick, and loving The Farm, I mean who wouldn't?? 💕

[@marysmith9361]

She is so proud of herself. What a loving dog Joey is.

[@barbarahasil7921]

Had to watch Joey’s video again. She’s so happy to be where she is. ❤️❤️

[@annekelly2172]

I love Joey! She's a beautiful girl with the most gorgeous eyes! She's so sweet!

[@brigidmulligan1942]

What a little cute Joey is! Adorable! Very loyal indeed! 🥰🥰

[@mortalclown3812]

Seeing this in March '23 - she looks like a baby roo and a wee Dobie. 😅 I love this sweet pup so much. One of the best rescues. Wish folks the world over started watching The Farm...a lot more dogs would be saved. 🙏🐕💙🇦🇺

[@marterisher2335]

What a beautiful athlete Joey is!

[@elizabethl2092]

Just rewatched this, and I would imagine Joey at the sheep farm thinking, hmmmm this isn’t for me, there has to be something better. I want to work, but not here. And then she lands at the farm. Hit the jackpot. ❤️

[@teresabaechtold236]

From the start, Joey jumped right in to life on the farm! Beautiful video!❤️🐾

[@EGSimon-ds1vf]

What a wonderful thing adopting Joey! She's is very sweet and I wish all of you many happy years together!

[@rumrunner1756]

Joey just won the dog lottery to have been adopted by such a wonderful family and at such a wonderful home. I can’t wait to see more of her and hope that her adjustment period will be short and productive. 💙💚💛❤️

[@TheFarmForDogs]

Thank you so much

Joey, is so luckiest dog to be part of the kindest, most generous family. With the added bonus of being part of Doggy Care Farm. Lots of friends with the best teacher on the world! Charlie is looking really healthy and happy. I’m so happy for you. Congratulations on your new training program.I wish you the best in your future endeavors. Thank you for always making me happy and laughing.

You are so welcome Thank you so much for your kind words and support

This is a STUNNING dog!

[@Eurocatbaby]

It's so fun to look back. Joey is such a sweet girl and clever.

[@bingsballyhoo711]

She is lovely. Observant and smart. Like a Kelpie!

[@lanebradley5442]

This made me quite emotional to see so many happy dogs enjoying each other and the amazing facilities that you have created for them !! You are God of the dogs !!! This made my day ...

[@jandonnelly5245]

Loved watching this again, and seeing Charlie, Joey is such a little lady 🥰🥰🐾🐾

[@lal400]

I never knew anything about Kelpies and now I want one! (Exactly like Joey.....I love her)!

[@markhill9275]

Learn about them, they aren't for everyone, VERY strong herding and nipping instinct, need a HUGE amount of exercise and mental stimulation, and a BIG yard. Also, what most dont mention, they tend to be pack dogs, so better with a mate. Lotsa luck!

[@lal400]

@@markhill9275 I am just fascinated by her. Following DDFT I understand how much exercise and stimulation they need. Joey, Nala, tangy And Luna are perfect for the farm. I would never get a dog that needed a ton of activity if I couldn’t provide it.

[@markhill9275]

@@lal400 Kelpies are the most loyal loving dogs, they live just please you. I had a Smithfield Kelpie, Jess, girl 16 years, smart, go all day tough as nails, good with people, but a good judge of character, would be in anything. I wish you luck!

[@amandatolleson7740]

I didn’t know anything about them either. Years ago my grandfather had an Australia Shepherd, I think. He was a cattleman. That dog was so smart. But he would have loved a kelpie. I want one too. Have fallen love with them over the past 2 years from being a DDFT fan. I never miss a video. And have seen all many times!

[@markhill9275]

@@amandatolleson7740 Kelpies are a LOT of work! They need huge amounts of exercise, both physical and mental, or they get destructive. Working Kelpies can run over 50 kilometres a day, every day! By the way, the Australian shepherd isn't Australian. There are only 2 breeds of dog from Aus, Kelpie, and Queensland Heeler, blue or red.

[@amberappleby3832]

It's May 2023 . This video has just come through on a feed . What a difference a couple of years make on the farm . Joey has transformed ❤❤ ,finally lovely to see how Joey ended up at Paradise Farm 🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘

Joey is so smart, beautiful and loving. I am so glad she found a forever home at the farm.

[@luzmmoogan]

Joey, you are the bestest girl ever. It is one of my favorite videos of Sweet gentle Joey. I cry every time I watch it. You may not be the best cattle dog, but you are the best farm dog ever. ❤️🥰😘

[@ericaberry535]

Never seen happier dogs!

[@LoveWinsMovement]

I never knew the name of this little affection-demander … I thought she was half Doberman or Min-Pin or something as I am unfamiliar with the Kelpie breed here in Canada 🇨🇦. I have always loved watching this pretty & energetic puppy interact on the farm and now I know her name is Joey!

[@ilovealexo]

Joey is so adorable and such a lucky girl to live permanently on the farm with you guys. I'm so happy for her and your family 🎉😍

[@TheFarmForDogs]
