Meet York. He is a very fit 10 yrs old Huntaway and he is looking for a new forever home. His owner works on a big farm and it is getting too much for the lovely boy, but he is fit enough to work on a smaller flatter block. He works both cattle and sheep. York is a very friendly and trusting dog and never has had any bad handling. Originally from the Hawks Bay he pleased his owner with his good working attitude and friendliness in the same time. As all well educated huntaways York only barks on command and stops when told so, therefore there is no unwanted barking problems. York is good with all stock including chickens and cats. As you can see he LOOOVES children

Update on Kate: Kate is very happy with her new owners and 2 lovely new huntaway friends. They play together but also work together on the dairy farm, but not too hard so they have enough time to have some fun time

This is Kate, one of Jill’s old workmates. She is 9 yrs old, worked hard all her life and is now looking for a forever loving retirement home. She’s a huntaway but she has a pathetic bark and only speaks on command, therefore excessive barking won't be a problem- she’s very well trained and is still fit enough to do small jobs. She would be perfect on a small lifestyle block with a few cattle or sheep. She also is neutered.
Only available for the 'bestest' home

Kerikeri SPCA has a failed working dog (male, desexed) to rehome. Approx. 1 year old. His history is unknown but he must have had a rough time, he's very timid. He's a really sweet boy and just wants love - once he trusts

I wld like to give an overview of all the dogs I have re-homed before I was on FB
It started with Bindi. A friend of mine bought - or better rescued her at the sales. She soon found a loving home in the BOI
The 2nd dog I re-homed was a 2 yr unwilling hungtaway - Brindle. She found a beautiful home in Eketahuna with the help of NZ Retired Working Dogs NZ Charitable Trust
The next dog was Baer, also unwilling for his owner but he became the mainstay working dog of a shepherd working on a big farm on the SI
Then came was Dell - an absolute sweetheart. She was retired and the owner wanted to shoot her. So she was re-homed to the most beautiful, loving home in the BOI The pic below shows Dell in her new home.

This is Jill. She's a 10 yr old NZ Heading Dog and has worked hard all her life. She now is looking for a well deserved and forever retirement home. She is very sweet, likes food and is good with kids and other dogs. She has light arthritis but is still very happy to move around. Otherwise she's a healthy older dog. Only serious enquires please.

Retired working Border Collie: I am looking for a new home for my bitch Please. She is 11 yrs old and neutered. She has mainly worked sheep and had some moderate success in dog trialing when she was young, but she is too powerful for trialing. She is still very fit and likes to work, so she needs lots of exercise.
I have more young dogs coming on so she is available for a forever best home. She has been an inside dog all her live and has never been in a kennel. She is not good with cats but very good with children.
No time wasters, please.
Please contact me via PM I am not on FB very often

12months old Huntaway-Bearded Collie X is looking for a new home urgently. The current owner wants to put her down because she is too energetic and simply not suitable as a pet. She has not done anything wrong and is NOT aggressive!
I am not sure if she wld work she hasn't seen stock yet but is young enough to get her started. She also wld be suited as an agility dog. SHE IS NOT SUITABLE AS A PET.
Looks like she has found the perfect home 😊
