Ik weet niet hoe ik het FB-bericht met een link kan delen (staat wel openbaar bij Karen Mulders), maar onderstaande beschrijft het karakter erg goed:
"Helaas helaas, vanwege hun prachtige maar voor mensen lastige Aussiegedrag hebben we nog twee reuen voor de herplaatsing.
Somethin' Spicy Mr. Soul (Soul) en Somethin' Spicy Red Dragon (Jason). Beide heren zijn terug gekomen bij ons, worden getraind, begeleid, etc. Voor meer informatie kun je mailen naar
happytails@hetnet.nl. Beide mannen worden alleen in co-ownership geplaatst.

NB beide honden zijn Aussie in hart en nieren, hebben een taak, duidelijke leiding, goede timing, management van gedrag en duidelijke kaders van wat wel en niet mag nodig. Het zijn beide geen moeilijke en geen drukke honden, maar echte Aussies met bijbehorend Aussie gedrag dat gestuurd en begeleid moet worden.
