Kelpie Dog Breed Information

Whether you’re interested in adding a new furry friend to your pet family or improving your safety with a watchdog, Australian Kelpies are worthy of consideration.

Highly intelligent and quick, they make loyal companions and excellent family pets. What’s more, an Australian Kelpie will befriend other dogs and even other pets. So if your family already includes other animals, you won’t have to worry about them not getting along.

Also known as a farm dog or Barb, this dog breed is incredibly energetic. A Kelpie dog can be used for a variety of tasks, such as service dog duties, and they also make great herding dogs. However, kelpies require lots of space to run and exercise, which makes them less suitable for apartment life.
