Australian Working Kelpies

I seem to have more than a passing interest in Australian Working Kelpies. Training Jed for a year has led to an understanding of what great dogs kelpies can be. I have now got three kelpie pups to learn more from, one a daughter of Jed. I will construct pages for them all as soon as I can.

This page is dedicated to Kelpie Info and Kelpie News - still adding information

Kelpie News

12/08/10 - There have been two working kelpie demonstrations this year.

 Kevin and Tracy did another successful demonstration at NSA Sheep 2010, August 3rd Malvern (click here for info, NSA website).

Video here.

The other was held 16/06/10 at NSA South Sheep at Chilbolton Down Farm, Stockbridge, Hampshire, SO20 6BU.

14/06/10  Last year, Kevin Reeves of Lyndhurst Kelpies and Tracy Huxtable of Devonairs Kelpies did a demonstration at a National Sheep Association event. Pics below.

Again I will add about Kevin's and Tracy's kelpies soon, as I visited them both last year. Judging by the phones calls I got, from both kelpie enthusiasts AND triallers, the demo was a resounding success with Okara Max impressing everyone.
