Having recently recently purchased a kelpie pup & going through the usual trials & tribulations of puppyhood, I've realised what a good dog they would be to use. I remember Phil Lloyd using one in the 80"s , wondering how it all went & does anyone run this type of dog now. They have intelligence in abundance, energy to burn & a coat which is almost impenetrable., he's certainly the smartest dog I've ever owned. I understand that the prey drive is very high too
