Did you know - about the Kelpie?

17/7/2018

0 Comments

 
In honour of our Dog of the Month, Archie, the Kelpie x we wanted to share some fun facts about the Kelpie breed!

Did you know....?

  • The Kelpie breed originated in Australia in the 1800's from cross breeding of Collie brought over from Scotland and working dogs, to create the ideal farm dog that could handle the harsh Australian climate.
  • It is rumored that wild Dingoes were even thrown into the mix at some point!
  • Today they are used throughout both Australia and America as working farm dogs, agility, search and rescue and performance dog sports. They are also used in Sweden, Holland, and Finland for search and rescue missions.
  • They currently sit at number 8 on the World's Fastest Dog Breed list and have been recorded to reach speeds of 45kmph.
  • Thriving in the agility rings has allowed the Kelpie to hold records in many different areas, including reaching 2.95meteres jump height!
  • The Kelpie breed comes in a variety of colours including the more commonly known Red, Chocolate, Black and Tan, Black and Red and Tan. As well as the less well known Smokey Blue and Fawn.

Archie!

Archie, the 15 year old Kelpie x, will be wearing our Dog of the Month crown for July 2018.
This sweet old boy keeps everyone entertained, he is always up for a game of fetch (you won't always get your toy back but he enjoyed catching them!) and often confuses himself for a smaller breed when he snuggles up on your lap for a cuddle!
We are lucky enough to be able to care for a number of 'Golden Oldie' guests that just fill our hearts with so much joy, we know everyone will fall in love with Archie just as we have!
