Anybody want two pure kelpies, one seven years old and one three years old. Would swap for 3/4 greyhound 1/4 something else. Sorry McHull, only joking, I couldn't resist. 3 Quote Link to post

Aussie Whip 4,288 Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 Doesn't look a bad type of kelpie, you wonder why they are rehoming. Some are hard to live with without work or not enough. The farm behind me had 6 which weren't worked enough and would start barking on their chains at dusk and finish at dawn. Half a k away and it was unbearable. Quote Link to post
Neal 1,929 Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 I gather a lot of people in the U.K. expect kelpies to be just like collies but tougher in the heat so, when they don't start herding from the nest, they assume they're not interested and pass them on. I can fully understand why. If you have a breed of dog which excels in your climate and starts working early, why would you bother with one of those weird foreign things? Quote Link to post
