Caring for a Working Kelpie

Health

Generally a healthy, hardy breed; hip dysplasia can occur given the demands of the breed's working role.

Nutrition

A quality diet matched to this breed's exceptionally high, sustained energy level.

Grooming

The short double coat needs minimal brushing beyond shedding season.

Training

This is an intensely driven working breed — without genuine daily work or serious exercise and mental engagement, Working Kelpies become anxious or destructive. Best suited to active, experienced owners with real work for the dog to do.

About the breed

The working-line variety of the Australian Kelpie, bred specifically for herding ability rather than show conformation, with near-inexhaustible energy.

Alert, eager, and highly intelligent, Working Kelpies balance intense drive to work with a genuine ability to relax once the job is done.
