Dice is the first Koolie I have owned, and I believe I won on the gamble of getting a pup from Australia, without being able to personally meet his parents, or choose my pup myself.

Thanks to Kerrie Challenger, of Tjukurpa Koolies for sending me such a great dog.

He's fun to train, easy to live with and great fun to play with. He has a soft nature, rather on the submissive side, and is not at all interested in challenging for top spot in the pack. Instead, he will do whatever makes me happy.

Dice has a number of tricks under his belt, and is learning more. See a couple of his tricks on page two

Dice started life in the bush, his mum's family were on a weekend camping trip for Australia Day, and Indi decided to have her babies 5 days early! Dice was the first arrival, at the camp in the bush, and so was christened Gerema, which is Coorie for "Camp".

Then he flew over the ditch, and became the first Koolie recorded by the NZKC on their obedience register, and will shortly become the first Koolie to compete in New Zealand in Agility competitions..
