alot, theres alot of difference with a kelpie an a collie :)

 

if you check there history they were the same breed, kelpie was the name of the bloke who bred his border collie bitch to another collie in Oz . Its just another strain of border collie :yes:

ive always thought kelpie are stronger, ( stockier ) and usually have more of a bite, when you see them work, theyre always going in and biting, collies dont do that too much, so to me looks gamer? thats my opinion tho boys :)

 

you get border collies the same as above, some collies that are bred for cattle work are big tough buggers, then you get some collies just work sheep and are of a nervy types, all border collies differ :yes:

i will look into it bird, like i say, only ever seen kelpies doing the tougher work, i always see collies herding sheep, an theyre lean types, built for speed and stamina, and by god, they can catch most things, seen pure collies catch rabbits/hares, also seen a collie x spaniel catch a hare :thumbs:
