stroller 341 Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 The dam was a greyhound x whippet (grew) and the father was a kelpie. She hasnt ever opened up to date. She isnt perfect by a long way but i only work her as a hobby so i dont have the high standards of some of the people on here she is a pet % of the time 4 Quote Link to post
Neal 1,866 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I've got three pure kelpies. One opens up on some rabbits and when she's treed a squirrel, one also opens up on treed squirrels and the third never makes a sound. Is "treed" a real verb or am I making it up? 1 Quote Link to post

She was ok at rabbits , but i thought lacked that extra gear that you need sometimes, as some rabbits aint slow. But her Temp as very bad, she was ok with me , but no other fecker, even my mrs + son had to watch her. And like Tomo she was fecker with other dogs, if she had been as big+ strong as Tod my bullx , she would have been a nightmare Quote Link to post
