Australian Kelpie – Connells Point

Rosie is a beautiful energetic working dog and trust me she never stops. Rosie has a unique white tip on her tail. Rosie is always active and chasing her new partner in crime. Rosie is great with one on one settings with other dogs but when with many dogs Rosie becomes over protective of me and it isn't comfortable for me. Rosie needs loads of room and very high fences. Rosie gets over excited and wee's herself. Rosie is a little to excitably with kids and until she is trained better please be aware. Reason for Rehoming Rosie is we are renting and fences are way too short and we are having trouble keeping her in the yard and for safety concerns I would feel better if she is Rehomed.

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 – 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.

The Ultimate Kelpie Guide

About Kelpie

The Australian Kelpie has a slightly rounded skull and medium build. It has a broad chest and well developed limbs that contribute to its capability of untiring work.

Its double coat consists of a dense undercoat and weather-resistant straight outer coat. Colors are wide-ranging, including black, red, chocolate, and blue.

Grooming

Grooming

Needs brushing or combing weekly. They also needs to be bathed occationally.

Origins

Kelpies originated from the Scottish collies brought to Australia in the late 1800s.

The foundation female, owned by J.D. Gleeson, was mated on many occasions, including to a male dog owned by C.T.W. King. At that time, the breed did not have a name. It was only after King’s dog’s performance in a sheepdog trial that the breed was named Kelpie’s Pups.

It wasn’t until the turn of the century that dogs with a Kelpie-like appearance were called Kelpie.

Key Characteristics Of Kelpies

Are Kelpies Family-Friendly?

Yes, they are. Kelpies are very friendly and get along with both people and pets. Playful and affectionate, they are good around children.

Common Health Issues & Considerations

Kelpies may suffer from:

Cryptorchidism

A condition where one or both testicles fail to descend into the scrotum, remaining in the abdomen or the inguinal canal.

Patellar luxation

A condition where the kneecap dislocates or moves out of its normal location within the knee joint.

Progressive retinal atrophy

Nature / Temperament

Intelligent, energetic, friendly, alert, and loyal

Suitable Environment

Kelpies are very energetic, so keeping them cooped up in a small apartment is not the best idea. They have a natural instinct to herd, making them suitable for small farms and homes with a big backyard.

Other Considerations

– As working dogs, Kelpies need all the exercise they can get. This means hours of vigorous physical activity daily.

– Kelpies have a tendency to try and herd almost any moving object by nipping the ground next to it. It is important to train them as early as possible to minimise this behaviour.

– Kelpies are used to herding in the heat, so they adapt better to warmer climates.

How can I take good care of my Kelpie?

Nutrition

As an active breed, Kelpies need a nutritious, high-performance diet. Their food should be packed with carbohydrates and protein to sustain their energy.

The typical adult Kelpie needs 2 to 2½ cups of premium dry food daily, divided into two meals.

Avoid feeding your dog with cheap, generic dog food as it lacks enough nutrients. Choose a brand made specifically for active dogs.

Grooming

Kelpies need moderate maintenance, so brushing can be done once or twice weekly. Bathing can be given only when necessary to avoid removing the natural oils in their coat.

Exercise

Kelpies have an incredible stamina, so they need regular mental and physical stimulation. You need to devote time and effort into their exercise needs.

There are plenty of exercises for you and your Kelpie. Aside from the usual daily walks and runs, you can trek, swim, or play fetch with your dog. Kelpies love the outdoors, so any activity that allows them to explore is recommended.

Training

Kelpie dogs are very intelligent and start learning by the time you bring them home. They learn through observation and are quick to understand tricks and commands. They can be trained as early as four to five weeks.

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 Questions

Kelpies generally have a straight forehead, almond-shaped eyes, and ears that point outward. They are muscular, with a deep chest and rounded ribs.

Their coat may be short, smooth, or rough with a base colour of black, chocolate, red, or blue. Some Kelpies have solid colours, while others have markings.

They do, but moderately. Luckily, routine brushing helps keep loose hair under control.

The cost of a Kelpie depends on the source. The average cost is between AUD $1,200 to $1,600. There are also dogs in the price range of $400 to $800.

If you are buying from a reputable breeder, a dog can cost almost $3,500.
