Aussie Whip 4,078 Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 There was a litter of working kelpie cross whippets near me,looked alright but they couldn't give them away,but not many into running dogs in my area.They make good bailing dogs for pigs. Quote Link to post
Neal 1,854 Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 I've only had one kelpie/collie x greyhound so can't really comment on them in that respect. However, I've had four pure kelpies and, of my current two, one will catch (but his natural tendency is more to point and flush or herd) but the other loves getting hold of stuff. She's coming up for eleven and caught a pair of rats in the garden this week then, when my neighbour spotted another in hers the next day, she popped round to borrow her while I was at work. She said that, although she was impressed at how she pointed, flushed and killed it, she was more amazed at how she then simply dropped it and walked off "Job done: got any biscuits?" 6 Quote Link to post
