Border Collie – Clyde

Introducing Maple and Sable, the last two out of eight available in our 'In the Forest' litter. Timatosha Lil Martinique 'Bonnie' and Kayladene Quick as a 'Flash' did an amazing job with this stunning rainbow litter. This litter was carefully planned and a stud chosen that perfectly complements our Bonnie, resulting in some seriously cute puppies. Maple: Bold, outgoing, affectionate, engaging. This girl is ready to hike a mountain by your side, or have a big snuggle. She's super attentive and eager to please. Chocolate and White, who could say no? Sable: Level-headed, observant, strong, with a cheeky glint in his eye. This little dude is biddable, eager to please, and just absolutely stunning. Both of these gorgeous puppies will make excellent companions, and with their parents' agility backgrounds, have the potential to do some great things. Both Bonnie and Flash have an 'off switch' which comes not only from training but also temperament, which we expect will pass down to these babies. We have raised them using Puppy Culture inspired techniques combined with ENS and other socialisation. This will help provide the foundation for all manner of training and companionship in their futures. Ready to go on the 15th of March. Reach out to discuss how you can bring one of these special puppies into your home.

Border Collie – Logan Central

Purebred Border Collie Puppy for Sale – Loving Home Needed This is Spot, a purebred male Border Collie puppy, approximately 2–6 months old. He is a Blue and white Border Collie, as shown in the photos. Spot is a very good boy—friendly, playful, and full of energy. I really love Spot, but I currently have two dogs, and it has become a struggle to give both the time and care they deserve. Because of this, I’m sadly looking for a loving and responsible home for him. Spot is not microchipped or registered, so his new owner will need to organise that. I truly hope whoever takes him will treat him well, give him lots of love, and provide him with a fun and happy life. This is a hard decision, so I’m looking for serious and caring people only. Please Take good Care of Him.

Border Collie – Wee Waa

Two female puppies are available, both black and white and now nine weeks old, so ready for their new homes. They were born and raised on a farm, so are very active and used to plenty of daily movement and outdoor space. Both puppies have been vet checked, wormed, flea treated regularly, vaccinated, and microchipped for peace of mind. They have great personalities and are comfortable around young children and other animals, including cats and chickens. These girls are very cuddly and enjoy human company as much as playtime. They have been raised in a caring environment with regular handling and social time. These pups would suit homes that can provide space, activity, training, and long-term care.

Border Collie – Bonnyrigg

FREE to good home We are in need to rehome our 2 beautiful border collies because we have moved to a small place and our working schedules have changed. We no longer have time to take them out and they are just stuck in the backyard all day. I am feeling so guilty and do not want this life for them. They are good, obedient,well trained dogs but they also need to be taken out for a walk or ball play and we unfortunately cannot do that for them anymore. They know lots of tricks and will pee on command as they used to live inside at our bigger house. They are friendly with other dogs and cats and any other pets and anyone that will give them the right attention. Will walk on a lead with you comfortably and both love to be loved. These two are female (Zola- tri-colour) and male (Loki- white and tan) born in the same litter so they have never been separated since birth. Both desexed, microchipped and vaccinated yearly. Can provide papers from vet if needed. Please contact if you are interested in taking them both. They have a customised crate that they both sleep in and bath ponchos that can go with them if you choose to add them to your family.

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

10 to 17 years

Weight

Weight

Height

45 to 50 cm tall, depending on the parents

Grooming

Grooming

Brush coat a couple times a week.

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.

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.

Border Collie Kelpie Mix puppies for sale cost 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.
