Suitable Environment

The Kelpie Cross Labrador is an active dog that thrives in large spaces. It is suited in a house with a fenced backyard where it can roam and play around. If you live in an apartment, this dog may not be the best choice for you.

Other Considerations

The Kelpie Cross Labrador tends to instinctively herd everything that moves, including children and other animals. It is recommended to teach your dog basic obedience while it is still a puppy.

This crossbreed tends to be hyperactive and very friendly with everyone.

This dog enjoys being busy and does like being alone for a long time.

How can I take good care of my Kelpie Cross Labrador?

Nutrition

Like many other dogs, the Kelpie Cross Labrador’s diet should be based around a high-quality food that is nutritionally complete. Avoid feeding it onions, chocolates, raisins, and nuts.

It is recommended to monitor and measure your crossbreed’s food because both its parents are prone to obesity. Make sure you combine a healthy diet with daily exercise. Remember to always give your dog time to digest its food before allowing it to engage in physical activity.

Grooming

The Kelpie Cross Labrador has a short coat like both its parents so it does not need any major grooming. Weekly brushing is recommended to get rid of loose hair and keep its coat looking good. To prevent tooth or gum disease, brushing your dog’s teeth regularly is advised.

Exercise

Both the Australian Kelpie and Labrador Retriever have high levels of energy, so you can expect their offspring to be very active, too. Because of this, the Kelpie Cross Labrador needs plenty of exercise and mental stimulation.

Give your dog at least one hour of vigorous physical activity a day. This may be in the form of a long walk, run, or play. It is suggested to keep a consistent exercise schedule as well as training time. Feel free to spice up your dog’s workout every once in a while.

Training

This hybrid is intelligent, making it easy to train. Socialisation is recommended at a young age so your dog can quickly get familiar with different people, environments, things, and animals. Obedience training is also advised, so your crossbreed matures into a well-rounded pet.

Because both its parents have histories as working dogs, the Kelpie Cross Labrador can work for hours without getting tired. You can train it to help you with household chores. Use positive reinforcement and reward or praise your hybrid for every job well done.

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 Kelpie Cross Labrador Questions
