Kelpie and kelpie crosses

[ghengis 4]

Hi all i have a good farmer friend who has always had collies,but a few years ago got his first kelpie,now he swears by them and would never go back as he says they are a different animal to work with and they are hardier in his opinion. what are your views on the working kelpie ??

 

Also i know a few of you have kelpie crosses/or you have had them.

tomo being 1 i can remember off top of my head.

What is your opinion on this cross ? is a first cross better or do you need to dilute the mix more ?

3/4 greyhound x 1/4 kelpie

 

Look forward to your suggestions,pictures etc

Mine is purely a little rabbiting bitch (I think she's about 20") and she excells at the job I can't say much more than that without sounding big headed or putting a curse on her, she's young and green but she takes everything in her stride is a pleasure to train and learns very quickly.

 

She loves work and is happy out ferreting, lamping, bushing with the terriers or hunting up.

 

She really is everything that a rabbiting dog should be
