For all the people commenting with concern about the working Kelpie - they would need to understand that the Kelpie LOVES working. They can be pets but the herding instincts remain and they need a lot of exercise. I have one that I am caring for , while her owner is overseas. I can assure you that the Kelpie girl can smile, she is loyal with natural herding instincts and it might be irritating for some, but it is also comforting in many ways. She is always on my heels following me from room to room, always watching where I go (and her little doggie share mate), very protective. She also can communicate in her own way - grumbles and has conversations of sorts to convey her needs (walk or feed me), She is incredibly loving and gives amazing hugs. I am not sure would recommend them to the sedentary pet owner, but I would reassure anyone watching this video - these kind of dogs would work for the pure joy of working. They are also caring. The little terrier escaped the other day and got way ahead of me, i automatically yelled to bring it back and that was it - the Kelpie was off and running and ran in front of the terrier to stop her and bring her back. Herding is instinctive for these animals:)

I always like to watch someone who loves there job.

I've owned four Kelpies that came from farm stock, not pet breeders, and they were, and are, amazing dogs, as smart, if not smarter, than Border Collies, from which they were bred in the distant past. To give you an idea of how clever they are, when I used to throw a ball for them, I realized they were anticipating and running off in the direction I was setting myself to throw towards - they knew, well before release. So I started experimenting to see what was cluing them up, and finally realized it was my shoulder alignment. So after that, I used to mess with them, set myself for a normal throw, then toss it away at right angles - not a natural throwing motion, but it at least fooled the clever things. :) Anything you need to teach them as far as basic commands they will learn in a single day - to the point they'll look at you like they're bored - and they live to please and have tons of energy, which is what they were bred for. There's an old saying in rural areas that a good Kelpie is worth as much as four men when it comes to herding sheep. They make great pets and are wonderful ball and frisbee dogs, but anyone considering getting one really needs to appreciate that they need at least an hour's worth of serious play every day to burn off that abundance of energy - and when I say serious play, I don't mean a long walk, but of going to a park (or a large back yard) and tossing a ball or frisbee - you'll know when they've finally had enough because they'll take the ball/frisbee, find a nice shady spot, and lie down with it. I had three kelpies for a few years, and they collectively used to wear me out so much with throwing the ball that I developed shoulder problems - I solved it by using a nine-iron to hit the ball away! So please, don't buy one unless you can really devote that time to them - they need it, more than just about any other dog. They're like the canine version of the energizer bunny. :) On a funnier note, when I moved to the USA from Australia I brought two dogs with me, my malamute and a kelpie pup. At one point, when the pup got to about 2 - 3 years of age, he managed to escape from the yard and ended up at the pound. When I went to claim him I laughed when I looked at the paperwork - my dog, one of the rarest breeds in the USA at the time, had been marked down as a mutt. :)

We saw a dog at the local RSPCA pound here in South Wales UK, he was a handsome dog and friendly as well. We snapped him up, couldn't think why no one else wanted him. The people at the RSPCA say he was just a mongrel, we didn't know any better until we saw an almost identical dog passing our house, the owner said he was a kelpie, I called our dog, she said he was a kelpie as well. Looking on the web it was obvious he was a kelpie, a seriously fit and intelligent dog, never bettered in any way by any of our previous 7 rescue dogs we had had. Sadly, dear old ZAK died suddenly at 10 years of age, it has been a sad loss!!

I'm not sure how long kelpies have bee employed in the US for stock control, in fact I have no idea at all!! Our kelpie came along when we had a labrador/staffie cross we called Keith. Keith was a lovely boy but with no common sense, Zak came along as a 7 month old rescue. We knew Keith was dull but lovely, Zak was out 7th rescue dog and was so easy to train and was extremely smart. He almost immediately took over as our top dog in all the jobs like fetching the post, fetching the tins of chum for feeding and anything that was needed. This seemed to suit Keith as he was unable to solve the simplest puzzle. Zak was amazing at learning commands, in retrospect we should have stretched his abilities. I had just decided to teach him the left and right command as we reached a cross road when out walking. I said to Shelagh, I'm going to teach him to turn left or right when we reached a decision point and he was ahead of us. The sad thing was that he suddenly died a couple of days later. So dear old Zak was our best dog in so many ways and we were lucky to have found him and learned about Kelpies.

On the flip side, the genuine working dogs are highly prized among those who buy and breed them for that purpose - one just recently sold for $50,000.

A bit late, but no they're not. Australian farmers created two specific breeds, one for use with sheep (kelpies) and another for cattle (the Australian cattle Dog). Neither is good with the other. Kelpies don't have the size or aggression to deal effectively with cattle as a rule, while cattle dogs, which will nip at the heels of cattle to get them moving, are just too aggressive for sheep. Plus, of course, Kelpies have the priceless gift of being able to run over the backs of sheep to do their work. That's coming from someone who's owned a number of kelpies and has lived and worked in the outback around cattle dogs. :)

Actually have a Kelpie. Lots of energy but super smart! Want to train to run agility course as he would kill it!
