I wish to find a good long legged paddock type (rather than yard type) kelpie to put over one of my bitches in 2 to 3 years(one is saluki x stag one is saluki x whippet) but I would prefer to find a good kelpie x whippet or stag or grey in that order of preference to use. Basically I definitely want some good quality kelpie in my next lurcher.

Whats the diffrence between a paddock kelpie and a yard kelpie...?

A paddock type kelpie tends to work with greater distance from the sheep and have a wider natural cast whereas the yard type are up close and often noisier. The latter are used for pushing sheep around for dipping, clipping etc and are the ones you see backing. They also have separate trials for the two traits and a dog which does both equally well is a bit of a holy grail. Hope that makes sense.

 

To Silversnake: my pup has a fair bit of Karrawarra in him via both Boanong and Karana blood and they tend to be better paddock types. A lot of the karrawarra breeding is very long legged and "greyhoundy"...for want of a better word. Good luck in your search!

My dad has the sister to my kelpie and she's his main sheepdog she can work a long way out on the fell and will do your nut in barking in the sheep pens its like shes stuck on a loop but she cant half shift sheep on.

 

Where as mine wont make much if any noise around sheep but is very good at gently driving sheep on witch is a good thing when they've had a hard time and are a bit soft. Ive no idea about the breeding names wise. We got them from a mate who sheared most of his life all over the world and spent a lot of time in australia and fetched a couple back when he settled down onto a farm.

 

Do you work yours?

 

To try to cut a very long story short (and apologies in advance for going off topic)...I bought my first kelpie over sixteen years ago to breed a replacement for the current lurcher I had who was kelpie/collie x greyhound. However, I ended up also using him as a general purpose mooching, bushing ferreting dog and was so in awe of him that I've stuck to pure kelpies ever since. Noggin is my fourth and although I no longer keep ferrets due to the lack of rabbits where I live I still use them for bushing and general daytime work (I've never tried lamping with one though). Both my bitches (Scout and the late Amber) have "inadvertently" worked sheep...not negatively I hasten to add...just in a situation where a sheepdog was needed and their natural instincts took over...in both cases it was on individual sheep. Hope that explains. Was the shearer called Guy Mitchell?

Edited to add: sorry, can't be Guy Mitchell...I've just reread your post and they're directly from him but he's no longer with us and imported his a long time ago.

No it wasnt him theres no names to go with them he just liked the type they had on the farms he was working on and fetched a couple back. The parents to our dogs will be gone by now i would think as our kelpies are about 8 now.
