I borrowed a mates Kelpie on a muster at a 2.4million acre sheep station in Central Australia. Teak is 12 years old and smarter than me. She herded 3,000 sheep from the yards in a single day. I was exhausted, she wasn't
Sounds like every Kelpie I've ever met. Sure, some of them have owners who _are_ smarter but I swear some of them have humans who are so dumb they haven't even figured out their dog is smarter than they are.
This dog's enthusiasm for life seems to be the essence of the Kelpie. I have a found dog that I originally thought was a German Shepherd puppy. She most certainly is a Kelpie, and my research has brought me to fall in love with the breed. No, I would never have chosen such a demanding dog, but I have to admire her spirit and loyalty. What a great dog!
You can tell he really enjoys that. Its good that you are giving your dog lots of exercise, thats what kelpies need. For anyone thinking about buying a kelpie, yes they are a hardy dog but please you need to know that you MUST give it exercise and lots of it everyday. And I mean EVERYDAY. Not just a walk around the block, but a good hours walk preferably with a run a park.
I have Border Collie / Kelpie mix and she is the best dog I ever owned. She never leaves me and waits for me to get home to play after work. So sweet that everyone in the neighborhood knows and loves her, just a great dog!!!
Ha Ha - glad to see someone else does this too. My kelpie loves pulling me on my skateboard, only problem is she goes from standstill to Mach 4 very quickly and I have to take to the grass to slow it down :-)
she's smart, teach her to run at different speeds on command. The only thing Kelpies like more than running is being clever and making their human happy with a new trick.
Oh your vid just brought a smile to my face, its good to see a kelpie being shown outside of the norm of herding, they are an amazing all rounder when in the right care.
It may not look like one, but it chews like one. It talks like one, and it runs like one - although for a Kelpie thats just off idle. He is going to go for real ride when that Kelpi spots somthing to chase, cat, squirle, basicly anything that moves.
Ive tried skateboarding with my kelpie, she just stops dead and watches me with the classic kelpie one ear up/one ear down, while i fly off the skateboard. lol
Shantal Michiel . Yep. I did walk her successfully while riding my bike tho. Unfortunately my kelpie is no longer with us. I had to have her destroyed a few days ago.
I just got a kelpie and live in suburbia in Queensland Australia and this is a perfect idea, I am going to buy a longboard tomorrow. I dont think my normal deck would work for the speed build up.
I have a rescue kelpie, and she's at my grandparents farm while I go to college, but this reminds me sooo much of her. Tear up her toys, the vocal nature, as the love to run. She would pull me on my bike, and I would have to go at least 5 miles to wear her out! As for the idiots saying your dog isn't a kelpie, kelpies are a very hybridized bred, and vary physically.
Love this! Thank you. We have a Kelpie we rescued 4 years ago with her 7 puppies. She is so much fun! She barks like crazy at the mere thought of a walk and as soon as we hit the pavement she lets everyone and everything know she is out and about! We just moved to Arizona from California. Have you looked into herding in your area? We had intended to take Abby before we moved. Google it if you like. They offer instinct testing and they will teach you how to work sheep with him for a small fee if you like. We have several here trainers here in Arizona and Abby loves it. Auzzie is beautiful. thanks for sharing :-)
Karrie Malone I post this a year ago and we moved back to CA last month. The trainer we were working with, sadly, had a heart attack and isn't training any longer. Now, she herds our 3 Golden Retrievers lol But I think I remember seeing a facility that will do instinct test and herding training up near Flagstaff. Just Google-Herding Trainers Flagstaff Arizona and you might find it :) Have fun. Stinkers are one of the most loyal, protective and stubborn dogs I have ever known! We rescue a lot and she decided the moment she arrived that she wasn't leaving. She was home. 3 Golden's and a Kelpie-you should see the confused look on peoples faces lol Polar opposite personalities and looks but the core is the same-UNCONDITIONAL LOVE :)
Kelpies are very athletic -but some are lazy!! Kelpies do well in built up areas - as well as country areas! terrific dogs and as long as you include them/join them in your life - they are the best dog - they love their "humans"
I won't get why so many people in the comments are upset that the dog isn't purebred? Like does it even matter?! Rescuing animals is much better in the first place, since you save lives and have a pet with great personality!! Not just some pet that has to act perfect constantly and that you can get money from showing off. That's pretty sad. And I find it sad that people care whether the dog here is purebred or not. I have an all black kelpie mix dog myself! We rescued her of course, and she's that sweetest thing. Also a very fast dog lol, I should try this trick XD her name is Kaya ♡
Yeah they even include our natural wild dog the dingo. Though really all breeds are just mutts of the wolf so pureblood status is only a wizarding problem
I have 2 Kelpie X rescue dogs. The best thing I did outside of having kids. The beauty of a X breed is that you get the best of all the breeds it's crossed with and they are so hardy. They don't get the health issues of a lot of pure breeds. I love my Kelpie X's & wouldn't hesitate getting another when I can. There are a load of fantastic, loving & loyal X breeds in the pound. Why wouldn't you choose to give these great dogs a home?
That's a Kelpie x Shepherd (or Husky?) you've got there. Face is far too boxy to be a pure kelpie! (Sure whinges like a kelpie though!) Theyre the best breed of doggo!
that's a kelpie, they are action dogs, never leave a kelpie locked in a back yard like a labrador, it will suffer badly, i let mine roam around the house were all the action is, and i wqalk him twice a day without a lead, he follows me on a bike, he knows the road rules and has not been a problem for 9 years now, i love the kelpie breed, but i have to work hard at keeping him amuzed, he loves rounding up the mini high speed buggy, he has more toys than i had when i was a kid, i used to have low flying drones at the park ???
I have a friend of mine who does that with his dog (his dog is half labrador, half Kelpie)... It's very sad... And when he walks the dog, he just walks 10-15 mins -,- (And then he finds it strange that his dog is destructive and bark alot plus is having fear of abandonment which he doesn't take serious but I do...)
Only time my kelpie is on a lead is when I'm in the big smoke (seldom thank Huey ) when I'm in the local town he just casually walks by my side don't even have tie him up when I go into the pub or the IGA I'm more concerned someone might knock him off than him running away.
Stoked to see a Kelpie getting the kind of a run they were bred for. They can be a real problem when they're under stimulated and under exercised. Watch his feet running on the road though, check the foot pads and watch for any sign of discomfort. We had a border collie who used to tow my brother like that and he ripped his paw pads up. Got his some doggy boots and he was back at it in a month.
Our Kelpie cross used to run along side my husband as he rode his bike full speed and she could keep up. SHe is now almost 13 and in amazing shape although she cant run anymore. :)
We have a Kelpie mix that is a rescue....this would be the perfect way to walk him! He definitely is high energy and quite a puller.....currently doing nose work and trying to start agility.
HEY YOU! Yes, you, sitting behind your screen reading this. I don't know you and you certainly don't know me. But I want to tell you something. Everyone has their own story. Yours might be filled with joy and happiness, or it might be clouded with pain and misfortune. I want you to know that you're a beautiful, wonderful, talented person. Even if your life isn't going the way you want it to right now, I know that you'll be able to make it out alright. I want you to do me a favor. I know I'm just a stranger, but just trust me, okay? Every time you see your reflection, be it in the mirror in the bathroom, in a window somewhere, or in a puddle on the street, I want you to look at yourself and give yourself a hug. Because even if you aren't the prettiest or the smartest or the funniest, you're something that no one else can be: you. And you are the greatest thing you can be. Smile at strangers. Be confident in yourself. Cry when you feel like crying, laugh when you feel like laughing. Treat yourself like a god/goddess because you deserve it. Hold your head up and keep your heart open. You're worth everything and then some. And always remember that no matter what, even if it doesn't seem like it, you're everything to someone❤️🤧🥺
And how does it not make a Kelpie? Is it cause it have a little bit of unusual color or so? It was a rescued dog so it might not be pure, but it still have Kelpie in it cause you can see it yourself!
Yep...they are such a great pooch! Aussie born and bred.. I had a border collie that absolutely needed 2 sessions with the ball and throw stick a day to keep sane.
That’s it, I’ve got a big black Kelpie. His normal gait would be run. 🤣 loves running next to me (harnessed) while I ride. I try to have him running on the grass though while I’m on paths, roads ect
I adopted what I'm positive now is kelpie. I didn't have any intentions on getting a dog. My ex-roommate brought home what she was told was a Miniature Shorthaired Australian Shepherd, I told her no such dog existed she insisted stating he was purebred...anyways she was never ever home, kept the dog in a way too small crate all day and didn't even bother to give him shots. The damn dog got Parvo and she all but abandoned him and disappeared for days I was calling her telling her the dog was deathly ill. Finally me being an animal lover I took him to the vet and paid $400 for his treatment and nursed him back to health. She pops up after the dog is away from deaths door and better talking about she is moving and packed her room and tried to take the dog. I told her give me money for the vet, but she cried broke. By this time she owed me $600 because after I paid for treatment I got the dog shots. Mind you she was pretty much absent for 2 months, I would go days without seeing her. And I pretty much was the dogs caretaker. I told her she could go but to leave the dog. Now I wonder if the Parvo took something out of him because he isn't the same at all Energy Wise and gets tired very easy, he is 8 months right now. If we go on walks (Its summer and I am in Atlanta) within 30 minutes he is seeking shade/a puddle and taking a break/refuses to move and has to be carried back home.
aw...poor little guy - s glad you were able to get him off that horrible room mate - people like that should be banned from owning animals for life. So irresponsible! And keeping dogs in crates is just inhumane - if you have to lock a dog up in the box then your lifestyle just doesn't suit having a dog! No do should be left caged and calling it a "crate" doesn't make it any less a cage.
There's no such thing as a purebred kelpie. There are no breed books and they aren't AKC recognized as a breed. They're still bred to be working dogs, not to look a certain way so the priority is to get in good working genes, wherever those genes come from, and not to maintain a certain look or particular bloodlines. Kelpies vary enormously in appearance as a result. Some are lean and gangly, some tall and muscular, some small and fluffy.
Yeah they may not be recognised by the AMERICAN kennel club, but that doesnt mean that it isnt a breed, just not recognised in the USA, it is a recognised breed in its place of origin (Australia).
I wanted to register my kelpie with the Australian Working Kelpie Club (as opposed to a stud book) and I had to show her breeding. I could track her parents and her dad's parents and her mum's dad to a particular kelpie stud in Victoria and he mum's mum was put down as "stationbred" which is acceptable in those particular books. There most certainly ARE breed books, though! There are breed standards for sure. You are correct though with the working genes. I went to a stud to have my bitch serviced and I had to show that she was a natural herder (let her go in a paddock of sheep and see what happened) before the breeder would even consider her for a match with one of his dogs.
working lines of many breeds look different from the show lines. in reading about kelpies, the biggest thing that stands out to me is the variation in appearance. coat color and type as well as size just varies a lot in this breed, and which lines the dog comes from can have an impact just like in many others. a show gshep vs a working one is vastly different and to some wouldn't even look right if it's missing the sloping back for example. i've seen blue merle cardigan welsh corgis called heeler dachshund crosses. without a dna test you can't really say, you're just being a judgy internet person lol. i think the average american would call these dogs husky german shepherd mixes so calling out purebred vs not purebred on pure speculation is silly.
Kelpies vary a lot, as they were a mixed breed to start with with plenty of variation in the original litters that created the lines. Black and tans, black and golds, brown and tans, reds, red an tans... some have thicker coats, big size variations etc.
My chihuahua used to pull my young son on his skateboard for a few metres here and there! She loves pulling. (Ps: he started himself so she was never pulling him from static.) Most dogs really love using their strength.
At least you love your dog and take care of it, great work - just because he is a Kelpie doesn't mean he has to herd sheep, as you already know.. obviously you give him enough mental stimulation and exercise, some people just like to bring others down because they are jealous or don't know any better. One of the best dogs i owned was a Kelpie, who got alot of exercise but never herded sheep, and this is coming from an an Aussie who loves Kelpies :)
I have a kelpie a classic solid brown he is the best dog ever and you can give them work without it being herding. We live downtown and in an apartment. But we go our twice a day we go to the park we chase balls and now we have the bike set up for runs
Also, there are show kelpies as well. And tons of people have border collies without sheep, and under the right circumstances they too make wonderful pets!
Yeah man, I've taken my girl on bikes with a long lead sometimes when I'm near roads and she doesn't like to heel beside me on a lead, she wants to pull me and keep going harder, I mean I don't care but I don't want to strain the poor girl, finding it hard to teach her to heel
I have a Kelpie too :) His name is Dingo. We rescued him from a lady that was fostering him. We thought we would have trouble with him living in an apartment since they are herding dogs, but he's never tore up anything and we do take him to a dog part regularly.. I would like to start taking him to some type of agility courses.. He loves to jump real high!
Kelpies love agility. They're not just full of energy, they're about the smartest dog out there, they excel at the course work, love every minute and are such fast learners.
Don't listen to people like him. I have a Kelpie and so long as she's mentally stimulated and getting enough daily exercise she's very happy. What Ossters said makes no sense. If you thought like that, then you wouldn't be allowed to own any dog, as majority dogs are working dogs, even alot of the toy breeds. BTW, Auzzie is gorgeous! He looks happy and healthy to me. He's lucky you found him.
today i learned that my dog was a kelpie!- he has ALL, and i mean all characteristics of a kelpie. but we got ours from a guy who found him on the freeway as well!! weird huh? All the way out in FL too.
Are you an Idiot?... or just Naive to the fact that 99% of Dogs were bred to do a specific job. Less then 1% of dogs actually do the jobs they were bred for. The Fact that I give my dog exercise, Mental stimulation, affection, and love makes him ALOT better off then the majority of dogs out there. He's cool where he's at. Thanks
i have a kelpie x german Shepard, he is nine years old but my friends still think hes a puppy, dogs dont have to to their work you know, they do what makes them happy -__-
possibly the difference in standards in other countries like the American lined GSD are longer not as deep chested and more slender then their german bloodline counterparts....its is also like the american akita and the japanese akita
i have nothing but working breed dogs Kelpies and ACDs and they do not need work, thought they need adiqate exersise and mental stimulation....I used to do flyball and agility with my dogs and every day 1 hour exercies + tones of mental stimulation and sometimes half a day at dog parks on the weekend etc....my dogs were healthy and well balaced dogs
I need help figuring out my dog's breed. she looks like a kelpie (but she isn't as big, she is a medium sized dog. she is bigger than a terrier.) she sounds like kelpies (the way they whimper and bark) she has all the markings they do, all the behavior except she doesn't herd. she would rather run or hunt. I would like to say she is a kelpie mix but I'm wondering what she is mixed with. anyone want to make any guesses?
I got a similar question the other day. I said, well i spose i could have let her rot in the pound till they killed her. But I give her a minimum for 1.5 hours of hard running a day, in grass and sand and water. I have been worried about introducing her to a skate board, but ill try it!

So true, I love mine. Totally loyal.
Yeah me too, best breed of dog I’ve ever had
I have an Australian kelpie and I cannot tell you how much my dog is like yours. I love him so much.

My Kelpie pup has the same colouring as yours and gets so many compliments from strangers.... Kelpies are awesome dogs!!!
what colour is it? Nice

Jeff Burnes I LOVE the idea of the skateboard..if I wasn't the most clumsly person alive...
she's smart, teach her to run at different speeds on command. The only thing Kelpies like more than running is being clever and making their human happy with a new trick.
I love kelpies so much. My Jesse has since passed on but whenever you said ''park'' or ''walkies'' she would go ecstatic. So much joy!
Oh your vid just brought a smile to my face, its good to see a kelpie being shown outside of the norm of herding, they are an amazing all rounder when in the right care.
Awesome dog and great owner, you certainly tapped into what your Kelpie enjoys
I'm going to try this with my 8 month old Kelpie, Rosie. Full of beans, can gallop for days.
It may not look like one, but it chews like one. It talks like one, and it runs like one - although for a Kelpie thats just off idle. He is going to go for real ride when that Kelpi spots somthing to chase, cat, squirle, basicly anything that moves.
Omg so true!
My half kelpie loves doing this too! they are awesome dogs, and super fast and strong..
Your Kelpie is so beautiful!

I just got a kelpie and live in suburbia in Queensland Australia and this is a perfect idea, I am going to buy a longboard tomorrow. I dont think my normal deck would work for the speed build up.
Hey should I get a German Shepherd or husky or Australian Kelpie mix
My 6 year old Kelpie will chase my ATV or Motorcycle at 30 to 35 mph for a distance. He also believes 11pm is play time. High energy dog
I have a rescue kelpie, and she's at my grandparents farm while I go to college, but this reminds me sooo much of her. Tear up her toys, the vocal nature, as the love to run.

How much money you got from the tooth fairy?
Yeah
😂🤣😂🤣
I thought about that too and I’ll use a scooter instead of a skateboard; need handles
I have a kelpie and I absolutely love her!

0:30 and this is why (when I'm older) i want a Kelpie :)
Having a Kelpie in the suburbs, you've got it right mister!
Yep...they are such a great pooch! Aussie born and bred.. I had a border collie that absolutely needed 2 sessions with the ball and throw stick a day to keep sane.
I love how he goes on a skateboard to walk his kelpie… 😂
this video is epic, kelpies love to run and you ate doing exactly ehat he wants!
That’s it, I’ve got a big black Kelpie. His normal gait would be run. 🤣 loves running next to me (harnessed) while I ride. I try to have him running on the grass though while I’m on paths, roads ect
ahh yes. this is a very high quality, and favorite for my kelpie as well.
you Aussie/American Yeah? Your Accient is what I'm reading into
Hows your puppy these days?

And I pretty much was the dogs caretaker. I told her she could go but to leave the dog.
Now I wonder if the Parvo took something out of him because he isn't the same at all Energy Wise and gets tired very easy, he is 8 months right now. If we go on walks (Its summer and I am in Atlanta) within 30 minutes he is seeking shade/a puddle and taking a break/refuses to move and has to be carried back home.
aw...poor little guy - s glad you were able to get him off that horrible room mate - people like that should be banned from owning animals for life. So irresponsible! And keeping dogs in crates is just inhumane - if you have to lock a dog up in the box then your lifestyle just doesn't suit having a dog! No do should be left caged and calling it a "crate" doesn't make it any less a cage.
I think I need to get a skateboard. My kelpie mix would live for that.
definitely not a purebred kelpie, but a gorgeous dog non the less
There's no such thing as a purebred kelpie. There are no breed books and they aren't AKC recognized as a breed. They're still bred to be working dogs, not to look a certain way so the priority is to get in good working genes, wherever those genes come from, and not to maintain a certain look or particular bloodlines. Kelpies vary enormously in appearance as a result. Some are lean and gangly, some tall and muscular, some small and fluffy.
Yeah they may not be recognised by the AMERICAN kennel club, but that doesnt mean that it isnt a breed, just not recognised in the USA, it is a recognised breed in its place of origin (Australia).
I wanted to register my kelpie with the Australian Working Kelpie Club (as opposed to a stud book) and I had to show her breeding. I could track her parents and her dad's parents and her mum's dad to a particular kelpie stud in Victoria and he mum's mum was put down as "stationbred" which is acceptable in those particular books. There most certainly ARE breed books, though! There are breed standards for sure. You are correct though with the working genes. I went to a stud to have my bitch serviced and I had to show that she was a natural herder (let her go in a paddock of sheep and see what happened) before the breeder would even consider her for a match with one of his dogs.
working lines of many breeds look different from the show lines. in reading about kelpies, the biggest thing that stands out to me is the variation in appearance. coat color and type as well as size just varies a lot in this breed, and which lines the dog comes from can have an impact just like in many others.
a show gshep vs a working one is vastly different and to some wouldn't even look right if it's missing the sloping back for example. i've seen blue merle cardigan welsh corgis called heeler dachshund crosses. without a dna test you can't really say, you're just being a judgy internet person lol. i think the average american would call these dogs husky german shepherd mixes so calling out purebred vs not purebred on pure speculation is silly.
Dan Hamono yeah not a purebred
Ahhh he wouldn't pull if the attachment for the lead goes from the back to the chest. Or just use the check chain?
because they are AMAZING DOGS!!!! and given the proper care are amazing animals!!
The kelpie dog looks like a husky a hit but is that how all kelpies are gonna be? Like mine is a puppy still he is 6 or 7 months old
Kelpies vary a lot, as they were a mixed breed to start with with plenty of variation in the original litters that created the lines. Black and tans, black and golds, brown and tans, reds, red an tans... some have thicker coats, big size variations etc.
My chihuahua used to pull my young son on his skateboard for a few metres here and there! She loves pulling. (Ps: he started himself so she was never pulling him from static.) Most dogs really love using their strength.
dude once you got on that skateboard i died laughing oh my gosh
At least you love your dog and take care of it, great work - just because he is a Kelpie doesn't mean he has to herd sheep, as you already know.. obviously you give him enough mental stimulation and exercise, some people just like to bring others down because they are jealous or don't know any better.
One of the best dogs i owned was a Kelpie, who got alot of exercise but never herded sheep, and this is coming from an an Aussie who loves Kelpies :)
I have a kelpie and gets that excited!
Hope he’s still alive and doing well ❤️
This dog is more happy to go out side than me.
Awesome kelpie pet you got there :)
This was pretty cool to watch - how'd you work up to training him to pull you? And what happens traffic wise?
Why do they 'talk '? We have always had Kelpies (reds) and all of them talk. Is that bred into them for a reason?
That's AMAZING!!!!!!! How do u not fall off???? He must be going soooooo fast('cause he's a kelpie...)
I have a kelpie a classic solid brown he is the best dog ever and you can give them work without it being herding. We live downtown and in an apartment. But we go our twice a day we go to the park we chase balls and now we have the bike set up for runs
I got one myself and I still want to learn how to get it in the order where I want it to see what I feel
Also, there are show kelpies as well. And tons of people have border collies without sheep, and under the right circumstances they too make wonderful pets!
My boy would run all day!
Germany is actually breeding some nice working kelpies. I know a few people who have imported them. They look exactly the same as other kelpies imo.
So cute
Pug from men in black
Remind me of Huskie pulling snow sledge
Yeah man, I've taken my girl on bikes with a long lead sometimes when I'm near roads and she doesn't like to heel beside me on a lead, she wants to pull me and keep going harder, I mean I don't care but I don't want to strain the poor girl, finding it hard to teach her to heel
They have soft pads specifically for farm wok.too much bitumen leads to cracked and broken pads...
I have a Kelpie too :)
His name is Dingo. We rescued him from a lady that was fostering him.
We thought we would have trouble with him living in an apartment since they are herding dogs, but he's never tore up anything and we do take him to a dog part regularly.. I would like to start taking him to some type of agility courses.. He loves to jump real high!
Kelpies love agility. They're not just full of energy, they're about the smartest dog out there, they excel at the course work, love every minute and are such fast learners.
Okey so if I have a Kelpie and I have paper and all that it is purebreed, it is till a fake one?
Don't listen to people like him. I have a Kelpie and so long as she's mentally stimulated and getting enough daily exercise she's very happy.
What Ossters said makes no sense. If you thought like that, then you wouldn't be allowed to own any dog, as majority dogs are working dogs, even alot of the toy breeds.
BTW, Auzzie is gorgeous! He looks happy and healthy to me. He's lucky you found him.
today i learned that my dog was a kelpie!- he has ALL, and i mean all characteristics of a kelpie. but we got ours from a guy who found him on the freeway as well!! weird huh? All the way out in FL too.
yeap definetely crazy like kelpies!i go for a walk with mine kelpie riding a bicycle..she enjoys it more than walking..
Ya that’s how my kelpie cowls at me to lol
Haha have a kelpie too and i get him to pull my bike with a harness on! Amazing dogs!!!!! x
Love this breed of dog
That looks like a german shepard mix?
Are you an Idiot?... or just Naive to the fact that 99% of Dogs were bred to do a specific job. Less then 1% of dogs actually do the jobs they were bred for. The Fact that I give my dog exercise, Mental stimulation, affection, and love makes him ALOT better off then the majority of dogs out there. He's cool where he's at. Thanks
that's some of what a city dog needs
ummm ok and with that thought process, is it only a german Shepherd if it's in Germany??
i have a kelpie x german Shepard, he is nine years old but my friends still think hes a puppy, dogs dont have to to their work you know, they do what makes them happy -__-
nice! very cool. can you ask him to turn you through streets with voice commands? that would be even cooler.
Yes, he knows "Right" "Left" and "HOOOOO" to slow down.
I'd love to do that with my dog but you'd get some looks round here; at 45 years old it just isn't the done thing to be skateboarding.
is he still alive
possibly the difference in standards in other countries like the American lined GSD are longer not as deep chested and more slender then their german bloodline counterparts....its is also like the american akita and the japanese akita
Yep, kelpies love to run and run and run.
And run a bit more lol
i have nothing but working breed dogs Kelpies and ACDs and they do not need work, thought they need adiqate exersise and mental stimulation....I used to do flyball and agility with my dogs and every day 1 hour exercies + tones of mental stimulation and sometimes half a day at dog parks on the weekend etc....my dogs were healthy and well balaced dogs
Husky but summer variant! lol
is he part shepherd ? because he looks a lot bigger
Was thinking the same thing, the brow is a little more pronounced.
Thats so funny. I do the same exact thing with my kelpie Booker and my Shiba Inu rose.
I need help figuring out my dog's breed. she looks like a kelpie (but she isn't as big, she is a medium sized dog. she is bigger than a terrier.) she sounds like kelpies (the way they whimper and bark) she has all the markings they do, all the behavior except she doesn't herd. she would rather run or hunt. I would like to say she is a kelpie mix but I'm wondering what she is mixed with. anyone want to make any guesses?
Okay now you're just trollin'
hahah my kelpie use to love to do this
actually if you have ever see this comment, should i get a kelpie or koolie?....or a mix between the 2?...I'd love to know your opion! :D
I got a similar question the other day. I said, well i spose i could have let her rot in the pound till they killed her. But I give her a minimum for 1.5 hours of hard running a day, in grass and sand and water.
I have been worried about introducing her to a skate board, but ill try it!
My 5 month old Kelpie pup doesn't like going outdoors for walks or runs weird 🤔😒
