Find out as much as you can about the line that the kelpies blood is from as there have been a lot of different imports over the years...none from bench blood I hasten to add but not all kelpies are the same.

 

It's a bit like when beardie blood was trendy in the 80s and it was assumed that all beardies were the same. I've had four kelpies and the first three were very different. The only reason my newest is similar to the old male he's replacing is because I did a hell of a lot of research before ordering him into what had made my old dog so good and then finding a breeder who was line breeding to the dogs and bitches which had made him that good. My wife really took the mick out of me for spending hours reading and re-reading different pedigrees, trial reports etc..."It's only a dog"...but the fact that Noggin is like a caricature of old Rust is all the evidence I need that my time wasn't wasted. Apart from the colour difference the only main difference between them is that Noggin casts to the left whereas Rust always casted to the right...now he just shuffles.
