The Ultimate Border Collie Kelpie Cross Guide

About Border Collie Kelpie Cross

The Border Collie Kelpie cross is a mix of a Border Collie and Kelpie. Both Border Collies and Kelpies were originally bred to sheep livestock, so you can expect their offspring to have a strong herding instinct.

Because of its herding background, the Border Collie Kelpie cross makes a wonderful guard dog and working dog. It is also suitable as a scent dog and rescue dog.

Lifespan

Lifespan

10 to 17 years

Weight

Weight

14 to 21 kg

Height

Height

45 to 50 cm tall, depending on the parents

Grooming

Grooming

Shed regularly throughout the year, so brushing their coat a couple of times weekly is needed. However, during spring and autumn, their double coat will shed heavily, so daily brushing is a must.

Origins

Border Collie Kelpie cross dogs are quite a new breed, but their ancestors go a long way back. The early Border Collies were developed in the late 1800s in Scotland, while the early Kelpies were originated from the Scottish collies brought to Australia in the late 1800s.

In the late nineteenth century, Australia and New Zealand opened up hundreds of acres of their land to sheep farmers to support the wool industry. Collie-type herding dogs were brought to both countries to handle the large flock of sheep. These included the Border Collie and Kelpie.

By the early twentieth century, farmers began developing distinct breeds that can herd under harsh heat. Border Collies and Kelpies were among these breeds, as both could handle livestock on their own. The result is the Border Collie Kelpie cross we know today.

Key Characteristics Of Border Collie Kelpie Crosss

Are Border Collie Kelpie Crosss Family-Friendly?

Yes, they are. Both their parents are very good-natured and love being around families. They have a positive attitude towards children and enjoy playing with their owners. When properly socialised, they can be very affectionate.

Common Health Issues & Considerations

Border Collie Kelpie Crosss may suffer from:

Elbow and hip dysplasia

Seizures

Progressive retinal atrophy

Collie eye anomaly

Bloating and weight gain

Nature / Temperament

Gentle, friendly, smart, energetic, and strong

Suitable Environment

With an outgoing nature and strong herding background, the Border Collie Kelpie cross prefers to be in large, open areas. It needs ample space to run around and be active. It enjoys being outdoors, so it is best suited for homes with a big backyard.

Due to its medium-to-large size and energetic temperament, this crossbreed is not ideal for small apartments. However, if you commit enough time every day to take it out to run, play, or train at the park or in any open space, apartment living may work.

If you are someone who loves spending time outdoors or is always looking for adventure, this dog will make a great companion. It is most happy when stimulated mentally and physically.

Other Considerations

Because of their strong herding instinct, Border Collie Kelpie cross dogs will herd anything that gets in their way. This includes children and other pets. It is important to train them as early as possible.

 

They are sensitive when it comes to training. When teaching your canine, avoid mistreatment. Establish a good relationship with your pup and make it feel safe. They can get uncomfortable in unfamiliar situations.

Average cost of a Border Collie Kelpie Cross

Border Collie Kelpie Crosss typicaly range between $1000 and $4500AUD.

How can I take good care of my Border Collie Kelpie Cross?

Nutrition

Feed your Border Collie Kelpie cross as much raw food as you can. However, make sure to manage its portions as this crossbreed is prone to over-eating. It is best to talk to your vet regarding food options and quantities.

Grooming

Both Border Collies and Kelpies have different coat textures, so you won’t know what their offspring’s grooming needs will be until it has grown to be at least a year old. However, most will likely need at least two good brushings a week.

Exercise

Border Collie Kelpie cross dogs need a lot of active time, considering both their parents are hardworking canines. They make a great companion for pet owners who also love the outdoors.

Long walks, playing, and training make these crossbreeds very happy. They enjoy chasing objects or going on exhausting hikes. Any activity that will tire them out is a great choice.

Training

The Border Collie Kelpie cross is an intelligent dog that is easy to train. However, with its Kelpie gene, it can be quite independent and stubborn.

This is why it needs a trainer who is firm but able to give it positive reinforcement. Give your pup praise and treats when it does a good job.

This is basic information, and it should not be used to make adoption or purchasing decisions. Be sure to consult an expert if you’d like to learn about the breed’s care and requirements.

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

Most Asked Border Collie Kelpie Cross Questions

Most of the time, Border Collie Kelpie cross dogs look different from one another. Even if they come from the same litter, they can sometimes be very hard to tell apart.

Usually, they have a foxy and muscular appearance with a muzzle much pointier than their Collie Border parent. Their coat is a mix of their parents’ colours, which are black, white, and red.

Both the parents of a Border Collie Kelpie cross have a double coat, so you can expect your pup to shed year-round. The shedding gets worse in spring and autumn, so daily brushing is required.

A Border Collie Kelpie cross costs between AUD $200 to $3,200. If you are looking to adopt one, it is best to get in touch with a verified breeder to make sure you buy a pup that is healthy and well taken care of.
