Australian Kelpie

The Australian Kelpie is a highly intelligent and energetic herding dog originally bred in Australia for livestock work. Known for agility, stamina, and independence, Kelpies excel at managing sheep and cattle, often working closely with farmers. They have a sleek, muscular build, a short to medium coat, and typically display alert, expressive eyes. Their strong work ethic requires regular mental and physical activity. Kelpies are loyal, alert, and responsive, making them excellent working dogs and active companions for experienced handlers. Their adaptability also allows them to participate in dog sports and activities beyond traditional herding.
