As the title says,

 

does anybody of the experts know if there is anything of this kind bred?

or

if there is someone who systematically bred acdxworking kelpie?

 

Thanks in advance for your kind replies!

Back in the day,....

Farming and stock rearing folk in Oz,.spent a fecking long time in creating the Kelpie ( a fabulous sheep herder) and they also selectively bred several different breeds to produce the Cattle Dog,.so why on earth would anyone WASTE valuable time in hybridising these two,..totally separate and unique individual working types ????

 

They are both,.'Horses for Courses'.....

 

 

Maybe to get a leaner acd without loosing the majority of the other faboulous traits?

i have a kelpie x grew an aggressive little b*****d but flat out worker even at 10 month not perfect by a long way but getting there

 

 

im not sure what the hybrid thing would bring to it but the kelpie is an intense dog not sure about the acd.

Thats where i was coming from! Maybe i didnt put this right.

Did someone try this cross back to an grey to create a working style lurcher?

Even within the gene pool in the UK there's a huge variety in kelpie types. I've heard of some which are 24" yet one of mine is only just over 17". Likewise, one of mine is of the chunky variety whereas another looks like a whippet cross. There's also, perhaps more importantly. a big variety in temperament. Some are very work orientated and find it more difficult to switch off while others are far more easy going.

Can u say more about this dog?

Do You think it would be worth crossing it with a greyhound?

I think these breeds arent for beginers or those not willing to put the work in, they will be strong willed, may be stubborn but will offer good prey drive, good feet, solid conformation, strength and durability, not everyones cup of tea but suit me.

That particular dog is a gem. A better cattle dog than the pure heelers that are employed on the farm. Very dominant though.

Me and my oppo have always thought that he'd be a great cross for a lurcher for the lads who like the Australian dogs but we've never done it and have no intention of doing it either. Great little dog. Very smart, very hard.
