Jipsy's mom says: My Boyfriend Henry and I adopted Jipsy from the SPCA. We fell in love w/her as soon as we saw her big (at the time) floppy ears. Our hearts melted when we heard that she was found inside a dumpster along w/two of her sisters. Now, we can't imagine life without her. She's a very active puppy who loves to chew on raw hides, play fetch and run after rabbits. She loves to be outdoors camping or swimming in the river. She can play "chuck it" all day long! When she's not running for the ball she likes to show us her tricks like sit, spin, lay down, under, and our favorite "BANG BANG!". She also likes to go to the Dog Park and show everyone her agility stunts. She just loves being a dog and at the end of the day she plops down on her bed and is immediately in heaven.
Jipsy will keep you busy trying to keep up with her, kelpies are aussie sheep dogs bred tough, smart, and agile to round up those pesky sheep and anything else that moves. Kelpies are 2 breeds in Australia, show dogs (benchies) and working dogs. the show dogs are bred for their looks first and the workers are bred for working qualities.
Do a google search on them, very interesting.
awww she is very very cute! she sounds like she has got lots and lots of fun and energy to share too!
What a beautiful dog, Jipsy is absolutely stunning! I think this pic looks like she has some Great Dane in her. Adorable! Kisses and tummy rubs and 11+++++++++++ biscuits xx
Hi Jipsy. Being part Kelpie you will have boundless energy and be very alert. Love your big erect ears ... "All the better to hear you with", and your long tongue ..... "All the better to lick you with". As you have Kelpie in you, you should be able to follow hand signals with training. Have a great life with your family.
What a beautiful girl. It sounds like you have a great handle on channeling her energy!
She wants to chase rabbits, because they have ears like her. 11biscuits!
Jipsy is beautiful. Those ears - that tongue - that face - Incredible!!!
Enjoy this beauty and have many adventures with her for many years to come.
What a pretty girl-love those ears!!!Billions of hugs and biscuits to her and Thanks to you for her rescue!!!
"Thanks, Mom and Dad. If it wasn't for you and folks like you who help us innocents, I would have starved to death in a dumpster."
Good Lord, this is one cutie pie!! Her coloring is gorgeous. And those ears, what beautiful ears she has. The entire package is lovely. What a pretty pretty baby girl you have. Thank goodness someone found her and her sissies before it was too late. Extra special lovies from Houston for your very special girl....
Those ears are magnificent!!! Jipsy is gorgeous, and I love the look of concentration on her face in this pic!
Jipsy's story is the very reason dogs are better than people. She was found in a dumpster and still has the faith and love in her heart to move on and become a happy, glorious dog. Dogs are such loyal companions...bless you and your fur baby. Thanks for rescusing her.
My wife and I rescued a full bred kelpie from a shelter here in NJ and have totally fell in love with the breed. Kelipes are loving, smart (sometimes too smart) and full of energy. Jipsy is beautiful and its wonderful that she now has a home. Those ears, the tongue and white blaze remind me so much of my own puppy.
As caramel above said, Kelpies are amazing dogs, google them!

[b]First and Foremost....[u]THANK YOU[/u] for adopting from the SPCA!!! [i]~GOD BLESS YOU~[/i]
OH...how awful that someone would put them in a dumpster!
All of my children(dogs/cats) have been "throw aways". One of my cats was also found inside a trash container with it's siblings, he was the only one that survived. The law puts so much attention on dog breeds...[u]they need to smarten up and put it on pet cruelty![/u]
JIPSY IS A BEAUTY! She shows SOOOO much expression of her thoughts/feelings. She's just a "ham" for getting her picture taken...lol! I wonder is she is part German Shepherd with her ears doing the flip flop? They do this during teething. Also with her ENERGY, I really believe that her breed comes from the "working group". Unfortunately, I don't know anything about Kelpie's...guess I need to do some homework!
[u]Regardless, you and your bf are very blessed parents![/u]
Check around locally and see if there are any Agility Groups. I believe you and her would greatly enjoy it!!!
Sounds to me, the three of you now have the best life together!
[i][color=blue]I wish you and Henry many joyful and treasured years with Jipsy, and I wish Jispy many healthy years! (I'd wish her many happy years, but I already know that you will provide this*wink*.)[/i][/color][/b]
Jipsy is such an adorable dog! I can see the love in her eyes in this picture. Never any coincidences - she was meant to be in your life at this very present time. Please take good care of her and she will give you many years of lovins' and kisses.
I have the same problem with the ads covering the photos. What I do "temporarily" to fix the problem is this: At the top of my Internet Explorer window I pull down on the View menu and choose Text Size and set it to Smallest. Then you might have to refresh the window.
She is lovely! This is a great photo. I must admit I am partial to black dogs ...and white ones..red etc..Seriously I am a Groenendael Belgian Shepherd fan. Love their elegance coupled with a sense of fun. Qualities Jipsy seems to share along with the good looks. Best of luck with her and many,many Happy Years! 11 plus biscuits Jipsy!
Jipsy sounds & looks like an amazing dog! I love the ears & tongue. I bet you get many sloppy, wet kisses. I wish all of you many happy, FUN years together.
What a beautiful dog! I too had a kelpie mix. What energy they have! My Cody was a beautiful dog, mixed with Australian Shepherd. What a mix! Unfortunately after 8 wonderful years he was attacked by three off leash pit bulls and killed. My life will never be the same, but his love for life and constant "smile" will be in my heart forever! Enjoy your girl, she will give you years of laughter and smiles! 1000 biscuits to you Jipsy!
What a cutie!! I cannot understand why people don't just take their unwanted animals to a shelter, almost every community has one so there's really no excuse to let any animal starve or be smothered in a dumpster or left to "manage on their own". There's too many people who will care for them if they're only given a chance. Jipsy is a lucky girl and you are too to have her. Best wishes for many years of joy and a million biscuits!
This picture made me laugh when I saw it.....that tongue is hilarious. Jipsy is very luck to have such wonderful parents!
Now there's a doggie capable of some Serious puppy kisses! I bet she is a bundle of energy,you can see it in her eyes. Enjoy this beauty and thanks for saving her.
Absolutely adorable!!! Looks likes the picture perfect representation of a spunky, happy, healthy dog. I have 2 black dogs and find them beautiful too - they have a blue tint. Blessings to you for finding and keeping this little beauty. Many happy days together for you and Jipsy.
Jipsy you are very cute!!!!!!!!!!! I'm happy you found a nice family to love you very much!
Many kisses, hugs and biscuits to you!!!
Happy 2008 and best wishes always!
That's the first time picking a picture didn't work for me! Anyway, it was the first one with her tongue hanging out....and I mean WAY out! :-)
Wow, what a great looking bundle of ENERGY! Glad she is with someone who can channel that rambunctious spirit. Many happy years. Hugs, kisses and 11 biscuits.
Hello everyone its Jipsy's mom. Thanks for all your wonderful comments and well wishes. No, we didn't clip her ears. Sometimes I do think she has some german shepherd in her because of her pointy ears. She actually has brown highlights all throughout her coat. Ahh yes the infamous tongue. It matches her ears. LOL The tongue is a measurement of how tired she is. The longer it is the better for us. We always feel lucky to have adopted such a smart loving dog. :) This is my current fav pick. So intent on the next command! Or perhaps she saw a Rabbit. By the way, no rabbits are ever harmed. They are too quick even for this Kelpie!
Sometimes I hate humans. A dumpster? Good grief.
Even with such a small start on life, Jipsy has a huge presence. I also think she looks like a Great Dane in this picture and in some places she looks like she's part black Lab.
Lovely happy looking girl! Well rescued! I am appalled at kmcha31's comment 'did you have to clip her ears'!!! 'Have' to?! I'm glad you didn't! Why on earth would anyone put their dog through that? Cosmetic surgery seems repulsive enough when it is your own choice, it shouldn't be forced on a dog! Very weird! Just thought someone should say something....
I just have to echo how beautiful she is...she's really, really lovely. Someone above mentioned great dane...that was a thought I had, too. Any chance Jipsy a very large pup? Regardless, she is lovely. Enjoy each other.

Jipsy is awesome! This picture made my day, just what I like to see in my dogs...showing lots of tongue equals a long nap!
As awful as being "thrown away" in a dumpster is to us humans, puppies would only see it as a strange and smelly place. They simply wouldn't have the same association and once fed, cleaned and warm would forget the ugly act. Unforgivable, unthinkable, cruel and unecessary.
Best wishes for a happy life together!
What a beauty!!!!!!!!!! I love the picture with the tongue hanging out..... more for kisses.
Thank you for adopting. I have adopted 3 little boys for shelter and the are the loves of my life
Sooo cute! Thank you for adopting from the SPCA! I wish there didn't have to be stories like hers, but thank God for people like you who care enough to give "throw aways" a new life. God bless you!!!!! :)
I love great rescue stories like this one! And Jipsy is super cute to boot! I wish you many more happy years with your sweet pup!
WOW! Such intense focus in a stunningly beautiful youngster. What a fitting name, considering her humble beginnings. From your words & pictures I'd say you & Jipsy both won big time by picking her.
Thanks to kitkat for the trick to temporarily fix the obnoxious ad overlay problem that seems to be occuring all the time on my computer now. I was about to stop coming to the website since I couldn't see most of the pics anymore. I E-mailed Daily Puppy at one point, but it keeps happening.
Aww, what a gorgeous dog!! She is just adorable :) How anyone could just dump any animal is beyond me..
Love from bonnie scotland x
I laughed OUT LOUD when I saw this sweet little girls huge tongue hanging out of her mouth! What an adorable girl!!! Many happy years to all of you!!

What a stunning dog, and a potentially sad story with a heartwarming ending! Enjoy all the love and happiness she'll bring to you.

What a beauty she is!!!! Thank you so much for adopting her from the SPCA and giving the wonderful girl a great home!!!!! This makes me so happy and she really is a beautiful girl.....millions of biscuits for her.
Bull terriers are quintessential DOG!! What an opportunity you have and what a good attitude re the former owner. There are and will always be jerks out there who don't get it... not sure why... something missing... maybe they need to be fostered and cared for just like you will with their former dog!
It is always heartwarming when I hear of wonderful people taking in rescues with a difficult beginning. Kudos to you both and many happy years with your darling girl.
Aww.. shes really cute. It's really nice that you saved from the dumpster(well, indirectly). Good Job!:)
What a cutie pie. Give her lots of love! Absolutely adorable! You are all lucky to have found each other!
I have a doggie that looks exactly like yours, (except he is brown) and everyone tells me he is a Kelpie mix. He was also rescued so were weren't quite sure what he is...he was dumped in a cardboard box with his 5 brothers and sisters (he was the Daily Puppy on 7/13/07). He started out with floppy ears like a lab and then they popped up one day. For a while he had one up and one down, then they were both kind of up and kind of down at the tip, and now they are at full mast in all their glory. They are exactly as tall as Jipsy's! Everyone comments on his ears. The vet even said they were radar dishes! He also has a super long tongue and a really long tail. I would love to see some more pix so I can compare Jipsy to Sutter a little more!
Aw! What a cute baby. I am sooo happy yall saved her and that she gets to have a good home. She is very, very adorable. Give her a big kiss for me. I wish you so many wonderful years with Jipsy. Oh and that is such a great name.
What a beautiful dog. Mixed breeds are so interesting. Love the different ear positions. Good on you for saving her. We needed more pictures though!
AAAHHHH ii JUSS WANNA SCR3AM iiTSZ S00 DAMM UGLY... WY iiTSZ FCK.N TUNG S0 L0NG?? iiT L00KSZ DiiSGUiiSTiiNG ii WANNA THR0W UP... UGH 1 FR3AKiiN BiiSCUT!!
Jipsy is a happy baby! I am sooooo happy you adopted her, and gave her a loving home. She is full of healthy energy, and I'm sure will keep you on your toes for many years to come. I like the name. God Bless you and your family for the kindness you showed to her.
What a beautiful puppy she is. Sooooo alert. Love those beautiful ears. I'd love to get my hands on the person who put her & her siblings in the dump!!! Wouldn't mind having a pup like her myself

It made me cry to read that your beautiful puppy was discarded. Bless you for sharing your love with Jipsy.
Could that dog BE any more alert??????! Fabulous, fabulous pup. Thank you for taking her on and helping out the rescue place, who will now be able to get MORE doggles out of dumpsters. Have so much fun withyou beautiful girl. She made me smile as soon as I saw her - what a gift!
"Did someone say.......bunny?!?!?!?!??!?!?" She's absolutely
b-e-a-utiful!!!!!! I just loooooooooooove the ears u r sooooo lucky to own such a wonderful sweetheart!!!!!!!! i just love it!!!!
She is a beauty, should have called her Gene after Gene Simmons from KISS with a tongue like that!
I am sure she will have the life she deserves with you both. I wish you all many happy years together.
I have asked the puppy team on 2 occasions to block or ban SAM per their registration agreement. No one should be subjected to his/her inappropriate postings. He/she needs to be squashed like the dirty little bug that he/she is!

I'll say. That is awful. She is a beautiful dog. And who ever took the pictures is a wonderful photographer! What kind of camera is that??? I love her! She is SO beautiful! 11 buiscuts!!:D
Thank you for adopting a shelter pup! She's so pretty, and looks so sweet, intelligent, and stately. She reminds me of Anubis, the jackal headed Egyptian god. OK, I doubt you'll find images of him with his tongue playfully lolling out of his mouth, or looking beautiful and coy like she does as he chews on a toy, but in the favorite photo I chose, I'm sure people can see what I'm saying. :) May you have many happy years with your beautiful Jipsy. Thank you again for giving her a happy life. :)
Hi Gipsy,
You are a very lucky girl to have been rescued by your folks
You look like a sweet little puppy. I love your big ears too.
Have lots of fun and we are sending hugs and tummy rubbies.:)
Elizabeth & Miss Katie =O)
Jipsy is a beautiful, "regal" looking girl!!! So many wonderful, striking poses, it was hard to pick just one!!! But, this "cutie" look in the park won out!!! She is really concentrating on "wabbits!!!" It is so wonderful that she and her siblings were found and rescued, and I know Jipsy will give you many kisses and loads of love and fun for her second chance at a great life!! LOVE those ears!!!! She will not miss out on anything that moves!! AGAIN,...as for SAMoiiN3, I have said MANY times that he/she should be BLOCKED from this page....we are SICK of this nasty, mean, WARPED individual...as Webster's Dictionary puts WARPED.."a mental quirk, twisted, pervert..said of the mind or character, etc." Can we PLEASE remove this person from this page? No one should have to view this kind of ugly remarks. If all this person wants to do is to pick on people and make mean remarks, then WHY BE ON THIS PAGE!? PLEASE BLOCK THIS PERSON.
What a pretty face , love those ears , the better to hear with. Enjoy her , lots and lots of biscuits
OMG!!! I have this site on my home page and look at lovely puppies every day ...however! this little one made me laff out loud!! THAT TOUNGE!!!!! To cute and funny. what a little dolly you have there. nose kisses and cheers!
God bless you both for rescuing this beautiful puppy. What ears, and that lolling tongue in the first shot. I instantly fell in love with her! May she have many happy years with you. She's a sweetheart!
By the way, the...person...who put her and her sisters in the dumpster doesn't know what they're missing, nor do they realize they will reap what they sowed, some way, some how. Their empty, uncaring heart was to be your blessing, and Jipsy's...
Good grief, CelineBeforeSunset, I said "did you HAVE to"--I don't believe in clipping ears either. Chill out!
Great dog!!
This little one sounds just like my doggie! What a talented, happy, agile little girl! Congratulations on your beautiful baby and I commend you for rescuing instead of purchasing. This gorgeous pup deserves just as much of a happy home and comfortable life as any other!

such a sweet face!!! how sad for us as humans that someone would dump living creatures in a trash bin...shame! thank God they were found and adopted by such wonderful and loving people as yourselves! happy life!
Thank you all for your wonderful comments about our pup! I will ignore that one UGLY comment.
If you want more of Jipsy you can view 2 videos on http://www.youtube.c om
In the search column you can put "Jipsy Tricks" to see the video of her one week after we adopted her. Type "Big kid on a skateboard" to see the video of her w/Henry on a skateboard. :) Jipsy sends all her love!!! She's glad she can make people LAUGH.
XOXOXO
Beautiful, beautiful dog!!
Did you have to get her ears clipped in order for them to stand up like that? Could she have german sheppard in her?
