kelpie x border collie

Ah, the Kelpie crossed with a Border Collie—a double dose of Aussie herding genius! This mix is likely to be highly energetic, intelligent, and incredibly trainable, but only if you have the stamina for it. Expect a dog that needs loads of mental and physical exercise, or your furniture might mysteriously start disappearing. They often inherit the Kelpie's short coat and the Border Collie's keen herding instincts. Common issues include:

• Separation anxiety due to their social nature
• Potential for excessive barking
• Prone to herding behaviours that can frustrate the unprepared

Ideal for active owners or farmers, and you might find these bundles of joy listed on PuppyList or Tradingpost if you’re hunting domestics.
