Kelpie x

[Cactus Matt 0]

Hello,

Does anyone know where I can find a good Kelpie x Grey breeder? I've looked and can't find. I know Dave Sleight has a good reputation but can't get hold of him. Never seen him advertise in Countrymans weekly. I'm in South Manchester. Can u point me in the right direction?

Also, any pics of kelpie crosses would be great.

Cheers

Hi tomo, how do u compare it to other collie crosses, and hows it's feet holding up?

[TOMO 24,951]

wel first of all,, her feet are very good,, and concidering she is 3/4 running dog, i have proberbly been lucky,, that being said she has small tight feet on a small frame,,, so thats a bonus .

 

that dog is not without its faults mind,, she can be very dog agresive,, which is a nightmere to live with,, she will somtimes pick and choose her runs,,wich is somthing some collies will do, and again somthing lots of lads wouldnt put up with,,

 

on the hole if im honest i dont think there is a huge amount of difrence between the kelpie cross or the collie cross,, just do your home work and go for somthing well bred doing a job.

 

of course mine is the only one i have seen work in the flesh,,, so it might just be my dog,,, maybee others have dogs without those traits...

 

one thing i will say in my dogs defence is,,, she has killed alot of game,,, especialy rabbits,, anf watching her ferreting is a joy
