Kelpie Pups – Sire Highly Comended Canine Hero Sydney Roral 2024

7 Special purebred kelpie pups. Cream, Black & Chocolate colours. Both parents from good working station lines and great family pets. Parents available for inspection. The sire is Phoenix (Black & Tan) who is both a loyal therapy dog and works sheep and cattle on a part time basis. He was highly commended in Canine Hero at the Sydney Royal 2024. Phoenix has proven to be the ultimate all-round dog. The mum is Fae a cream bitch from working lines who has done some work on sheep and is a cuddly family pet. Pheonix can be seen working here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oxc9nl_teGg Pups have been vaccinated, microchipped and vet checked. Fae has done an awesome job on the litter, and they will be ready to go on 13 December. The pups have temporary biscuit names to identify them and have been raised in a family environment. I selected Bunyip as my next working dog (that’s why he does not have biscuit name), but due to a change in circumstance I am not going to keep him. I would negotiate on price for Bunyip if I could keep breeding access. The puppies have great personality and showing good signs of being very trainable and loyal. Pups would suit working homes, hobby farms, agility or great companion dogs and family pets. I will be traveling to Brisbane, Sydney and Canberra in late December and may be able to meet up for delivery.

Australian Kelpie – Uralla

A sweet surprise litter of black & tan Kelpie X pups, born 2 September 2024. If you have been thinking about welcoming a puppy into your life, Blossom, Bessie, Bindi and Baxter are ready for their new families. The other boys are already settled.

Pups are all vet-checked, microchipped, vaccinated and wormed on schedule. We are super keen for these pups to find the very best homes, so we're putting the word out! They will make the best buddies, loyal and faithful. If interested, we encourage you to come and meet the puppies. You're welcome to offer what you think they are worth, after seeing them. The whole world is an adventure through the eyes of a puppy. And puppies bring a whole world of super cute energy to their adventures!

Australian Kelpie – Calvert

Puppies are ready for their new home on the 23rd of Nov '24. Born 28 Sept 2024. Dad is a registered pure bred fawn&Tan with a very friendly and loveable temper. Mum is Red&Tan, she's an excellent guard dog and protective of her people and the animals.Our Kelpies help us look after our chickens and protect our precious lambs and help move our sheep. If you'd like to see pics of previous litters and puppy videos, please find us on Facebook: Kelpie Puppies Ipswich Lockyer Brisbane Or Instagram: Carinandrick_kelpies Although our puppies look purebred, they're 99.94% Kelpie and 0.06% border Collie due to our grandma Dam that's mostly Kelpie with a bit of Border Collie. She's very intelligent and affectionate. Here's some benefits to not having a purebred puppy: Purebred dogs not only have increased incidences of inherited diseases but also heightened health issues. Mixed-breed dogs are generally healthier than purebred dogs due to purebred dogs have a limited gene pool and risk passing along genetic disorders from generation to generation. Typically, owners of mixed-breed pets can expect to pay a lower pet insurance premium than owners of purebred pets. Puppies will also be socialized with other animals and used to kids handling them. All puppies will be microchipped, dewormed, have their first vaccination done and comes with their vet passport. Welcome to come meet them by appointment. Breeder no: BIN0009342876693.

Australian Kelpie – Camillo

We sadly have to be strong to give away our beautiful 9 month old pure breed blue kelpie. We love her so much but our work commitments have increased and she needs to go to a family who can spend much more time with her than we can offer. Indi, is a blue pure breed kelpie. Born in December 2023 she is now 9 months old. Indi is micro chipped. Recently deleted and is registered. Indi came from an Australian champion bloodline and she has farm work embedded in her blood. She needs a beautiful family who ideally has a farm or at least a large block, where Indi can run free and enjoy the freedom she deserves. Wonderful with children and other dogs once she is bonded. Indi can go from being a powerhouse of energy running for hours to being a beautiful cuddle buddy when required. A very energetic dog with a fantastic IQ. Indi already has sheep or cattle rounding up skills which are sadly used only on our other dog during fetch and has now become obsessed with rounding up flies, hence why we sadly want her to go to a large property due to her skilled potential. She is fantastic in the car, a great watch dog for strangers yet lovingly gentle with us. Indi is simply BEAUTIFUL, glorious condition with the most amazing love filled eyes. Yes we will be deeply saddened to see her leave us but we will be happy knowing her running spirit and farm knowledge and passion will again shine.

Australian Kelpie – Dubbo

Unfortunately I have had to make a very hard decision to sell my beautiful girl Indie. Indie is a purebred red kelpie I got her from a breeder in Clermont QLD “Clermont Kelpies” she is not registered. Indie is desexed, microchipped and is up to date with her vaccinations Indie is a very energetic girl and requires a big yard, preferably a property. She is good with re-call, sits, shakes paw, walks on lead pretty well although is very strong, perfect in the car loves to sit in the front seat and look out the window or sleep. She loves her toys and absolutely loves playing fetch and tug of war. Indie has been around cattle since she was born until she was about 5 months old definitely has some instinct but due to circumstances never got around to training her. She is good around horses and cats. Unfortunately Indie has become aggressive towards other female dogs that try to dominate her or tell her no. So preferably needs to go to a home where there are male dogs that are the same size or bigger than her. Please Dm for more information

The Ultimate Australian Kelpie Guide

About Australian Kelpie

Australian Kelpies, with their herding background, are fiercely loyal and duty-bound. These dogs are intelligent and thrive as true working dogs.

Grooming

Grooming

Kelpies need weekly brushing and are easy to care for otherwise

Origins

The Kelpie was developed in the 19th century, around 1870.

During this time, Australia’s booming sheep and wool industry demanded a dog capable of managing unruly livestock and enduring harsh environmental conditions.

The Collie, a working dog imported from Britain, significantly contributed to the Kelpie’s development. 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 are more suitable as pets than their working counterparts, exhibiting greater friendliness and sociability.

Common Health Issues & Considerations

Australian Kelpies may suffer from:

Collie Eye Anomaly

A hereditary disorder causing abnormalities in the eye’s development, potentially leading to retinal detachment and vision loss.

Hypothyroidism.

Progressive Retinal Atrophy.

Cerebellar Abiotrophy.

A neurological disorder where the cells in the cerebellum deteriorate over time, leading to progressive loss of coordination and balance.

Nature / Temperament

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

Suitable Environment

They thrive in rural settings but struggle in apartments due to their high exercise needs.

Other Considerations

  • Kelpies have short double coats in various colours, including black, red, chocolate, and fawn.
  • There are two varieties of Australian Kelpies: working and show stock, with working dogs being more popular.
  • Kelpies often serve as guide and assistance dogs for individuals with special needs and are invaluable in search and rescue operations.

How can I take good care of my Australian Kelpie?

Nutrition

Energetic Kelpies require food that boosts their energy levels. Provide high-quality dog food twice daily and fresh water.

Supplement their diet with fruits, vegetables, and occasionally cottage cheese to supply necessary vitamins and minerals. These additions should not exceed 10% of their diet.

Their nutritional needs change as they grow, so consult your vet regularly.

Grooming

Despite their short coats, Kelpies have double coats with thick, dense undercoats, necessitating regular grooming. Brush their coats at least twice weekly.

Though they shed moderately, Kelpies moult heavily twice a year, requiring more frequent brushing during these periods.

Exercise

Providing sufficient exercise for Kelpies can be challenging. Incorporate various physical activities into their routine. Besides walks, take them swimming or hiking.

Joining a canine sports club is another option, ensuring your Kelpie receives ample physical and mental stimulation.

Training

Australian Kelpies’ intelligence and focus make them easy to train. Training also engages their minds.

Kelpies excel in dog sports, particularly agility and herding competitions. However, extensive socialisation is necessary to ensure they feel comfortable around children and strangers.

This is general information and should not be relied on for adopting or purchasing advice.

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.
