About Australian Kelpie
Australian Kelpies are specialized working dogs whose use is herding large herds of livestock. If you are looking for a hard-working dog that can also act independently, the Australian Kelpie is the right choice. However, a large herd of cattle should not be missing. Kelpies are not family or beginner dogs.
