Australian Kelpie Herding Group Breeds Dogs

A short-coated, medium sized, alert breed born with a strong instinct for herding and guarding, the Australian Kelpie evolved as a breed shortly after the immigration of colonists from Great Britain to Australia introduced sheep to the continent. One account claims the breed resulted from a collie/dingo cross, while another suggests the breed resulted from a cross between a collie from the north of England and a black and tan female from New South Wales, Australia. Currently, the Australian Kelpie is recognized as being in FCI (Group 1).
