Grooming

Grooming

Kelpies need weekly brushing and are easy to care for otherwise

Origins

Like most breeds, the Kelpie was developed in the 19th century; around 1870.

At that time, the sheep and wool industry in Australia was booming. As a result, ranchers were in need of a dog that could handle the unruly animals. The dog also needed to be capable of tolerating the extreme environmental conditions.

One of the main breeds that was used to develop the Kelpie, is the Collie. This was a working dog imported from Britain. Collies are also ancestors of the Border Collie, English Shepherd and Australian Shepherd.

Key Characteristics Of Australian Kelpies

Are Australian Kelpies Family-Friendly?

Show Kelpie breed lines make better pets than their working counterparts, as they are friendly and more sociable.

Common Health Issues & Considerations

Australian Kelpies may suffer from:

Collie Eye Anomaly

Hypothyroidism.

Progressive Retinal Atrophy.

Cerebellar Abiotrophy.

Nature / Temperament

Active, intelligent and independent. They’re also loyal and friendly to their human companions.

Suitable Environment

They thrive in country settings but are not suited for apartments due to their high exercise demands.

Other Considerations

  1. Kelpies have short double coats that come in a variety of colours. The most common are black, red, chocolate and fawn.
  2. There are two varieties of the Australian Kelpie: the working and show stock. Working dogs are more popular than the show Kelpies.
  3. Kelpies are often used as guide and assistance dogs by those with special needs. They also come in handy in search and rescue operations.

How can I take good care of my Australian Kelpie?

Nutrition

The Kelpies are a very energetic breed. As such, they need foods that can boost their energy levels, in particular feed your Kelpie high-quality dog food twice per day. Also provide them with fresh water every day.

You can also feed them fruit and vegetables, and occasionally cottage cheese. Such products make their diet more interesting and provide adequate vitamins and minerals. These extra additions should not exceed 10% of their diet.

Keep in mind that their nutritional requirements will change as they grow – consult your vet.

Grooming

The Kelpies’ coats are short. But, these are double coats consisting of thick, dense undercoats. So, they still need regular grooming. Brush their coats two or more times each week.

These dogs are average shedders, however they molt or shed heavily twice in a year. They will need more frequent brushing during these periods.

Exercise

Kelpie owners often find it difficult to provide adequate exercise to their dogs. The secret is to incorporate other physical activities into your dog’s routine. Apart from walks, you can take them swimming or hiking.

Another option is joining a canine sports club in your area. This way your Kelpie will get as much physical and mental

Training

What makes Australian Kelpies easy to train is their level of intelligence and focus. Besides, training is an excellent way of engaging their brains.

Kelpies thrive in different dog sports, particularly agility and herding competitions. But one thing to note is that they need plenty of socialisation. This way, they will feel comfortable around children and strangers.

Most Asked Australian Kelpie Questions

If you spend most of your time lounging by the couch, the Kelpie is definitely not the pet for you. The dog is more suited for owners with active lifestyles.

They have several traits that make them suitable for this role. One, their loyalty. Two, they are always alert to their surroundings and known to be vocal.

They are a medium-size breed. Their size ranges from 40 to 50 cm in height and their weight ranges from 14 to 20 kg. Of course, the higher limits of the both height and weight ranges are reserved for male Kelpies.

It is rare for breeders to crossbreed the Kelpie. But when this happens, it’s often with other working breeds. Some examples are:

  1. Collie – cross between a Kelpie and a Border Collie
  2. Australian Kelpherd – cross between a Kelpie and Australian Shepherd

 

Australian Kelpie for sale cost between $800 to $1500 approximately.
