Shame they aren't more popular, ideal sturdy type dog suited to rabbits. Maybe they are just rabbit dogs only and are limited?

That's why I have steered clear of working dog blood in my dogs, a mix of hunting breed dogs and those with a big interest in sheep. A lot of people have them though with no problems once stock proofed. A lot of pig hunters now have working kelpie and collie blooded dogs so I don't know.

More kelpie than collie in the pig dogs, they are a much better dog imo handle the heat well too, nothing wrong with a good collie x though they dont like the heat. We ran a few healer x's on pigs back in the day, great dogs when you got a good one. Best nose dog I ever seen was a Kelpie bull x bit like this one

Lot of collies and their crosses up here in the mountains around Oberon hunting pigs, but it's a cold place. These smaller dogs are ok until they run into a big mountain boar, that's why we always used big dane, mastiff, bull mixes. No tracking collars needed they stayed with you until they picked up fresh scent.
