cattle dog and kelpie x ?

[MIKE 18]

Wouldn't mind seeing some photos of your Kelpie mate, your grey /kelpies look good, adding ACD may produce heavier built, if you did cross acd/kelpie the finer boned ones may be more to your suiting.

I have a ACD/WHIP/GREY who is only 22inch, she is whippet size with cattle dog build, very agile and strong built, 14 months old, only used her for mooching and ferreting, has good nose and hunts well.

The photos are on earlier replies.

Both your lurchers look very capable, especially like the dog.

 

Thanks these are the pics of my pure Kelpie bitch that I put on an earlier post

Thanks mate, like her very much, doubt if there would be more you could add, both the Kelpie and ACD are strong durable and have good nose and drive, and very similar in make up, ACD maybe heavier/bigger built, my niece who farms 30 miles away has just got one, seeing yours will spur me to go and have a look.

 

She looks very alert and keen, my type of dogs, my bitch is a smaller version only acd red and speckle.

Thanks for that.

Woolstone is where Ruby was bred to, they look to have bred some decent stuff in their time. How the hell have you got a girlfriend ? how does she cope with you.................

If it was possible how about a straight dingo x

 

Now that would be something interesting for you lads wouldn't it.

 

Must be 1 or 2 floating about in aus and being worked i reckon.

 

I,v got a few pics of a couple of dingos i saw somewere they looked the part.

 

Good interestin thread by the way lads.

Sheamus is the pup true kelpie?I saw a pup advertised on the farmers journal yesterday,up in northern Ireland,cookstown.didnt mention the breeding but brand new bloodline it said.I am hoping to meet up with a kerry farmer that has a kelpie soon,just to get a look at it in action.

Sheamus, there will be German shepherds all over the country just sat, quietly, crying into their medication when they look at that photo of your pup. All the dogs on this post just ooze robustness (is that even a real word) and health.

 

Lets hope they stay that way, hope they stay in the hands of people who work them.

 

Cheers, Finn.

He`s a Kelpie jigsaw and was registered the other week with some silly feck off name that the girlfriend made up :blush: but i`d like to make clear right now and assure you all i had no part in this.

It`s not good for the image that stuff

Robustness is a good description we all can understand that

Mike the girlfriend has a firm hand and about the same size as a Brickie`s so i tow the line,lol.

[jigsaw 11,863]

thanks sheamus hes a leggy lad,looking forward to future reports on him.No arguing is a rarity on here,lol.Hope theres more storys and pics to come.

When I bought my first kelpie I was really worried that the shepherd I bought him from wouldn't sell the pup to some fool who'd waste him by just chasing rabbits. It's great to find so many other people who work them too. I have to admit that I bought him with the intention of producing a litter of lurcher pups but by the time he was a year old I swapped my allegiance. I'd probably catch a lot more with a lurcher but I much prefer the company of my prick-eared mongrels.

 

I'm a bit of a computerphobic and have only just built up the courage to save a load of photos to my laptop after possibly loosing the photos of the first week of my son's life (the CD shows them as thumbnails but claims there's nothing there). I'll try to get my head around photobucket and put up some photos of my three soon.

Come on Neal I've shown you mine ...........now you show me yours........
