Australian Kelpie

The Australian kelpie is thought to have been bred from black & tan border collies which were imported into Australia. They are used to herd sheep on large sheep farms. They are workaholics, and need to be kept busy otherwise they will be bored & destructive.

The coat is short and dense, ideal to protect the dog when working outdoors in all weathers.

Kelpies are one man dogs, and make loyal companions. They are quick learners and will enjoy puppy school and training class.

A kelpie will make a good watchdog and will bark if they see something suspicious. Normally they are not aggressive.

Early history of dogs - How breeds developed

If only we were as devoted to God, our heavenly Master, as kelpies are to theirs! If only we longed to hear His voice and instructions. Let's pore over the Bible and see what God wants us to do! King David of Israel was a man who loved God. He said, "I open my mouth and pant, longing for your commands." Psalm 119 v 131
