thank you for the info. i have had other working kelpies and i understood the pure red are more for show but jess i have never had a dog like her she was always playfull but as soon as work was needed she was on the ball and ready to work, i sware she had some form of dog adhd but it worked very well because even when the other dogs are sleeping on the back of the ute i knew jes would be watchin looking for a call. fantastic dog and sadly missed. i was just putting it out there just to see if i could find out where her blood lines came from. i got her from mundaring area. if anybody knows of dogs around that area. but i do understand what you mean if i went along to a litter and one bitch stood out to me i would have to get her even over a red Thanks to all Cal

Thank you so much for the information. I do like red and tans but we use them alot up on the stations red kelpies have always been my dogs and another bitch could never replace jess she was one of a kind. for a dog to pick up work so fast shocked me seeing that where she came from so i would never expect a dog to live up to another. I have read alot about red kelpies or as we in WA call them red clouds but i have scaned the whole internet and found no breeders. i was devistated when i lost jess because i was just thinking of breeding her. why do they shy you away from choosing for colour? its betterthan my way, i sit with them and the cheekyest one out the litter il pick thats so funny about the old lady and her red sure shows how dogs are like there owners jess never sat still since the day i got her. Even in her sleep she would run and bark. thank you for your help i have taken note and will have a chat with these people see if they can help me Cheers Cal

Hi guys and girls, i could really do with some help. I just lost my beautiful jess while we were on holiday to a 1080 bait. I am very upset by this, seeing as we were at a place that said dogs are welcome. Any ways she was my working yard dog as well as my best mate. Im in perth at the minute but soon have to get another job up north to pay the bills and really need another pup to take with me to help me out and keep me company. I really like this breed for there work ethics and loyalty to me. the colouring was pure rich red almost bronze in the sun with yellow eyes she was small for a kelpie. She was not much bite more bark but would never back down and always ready to work. As i rescued her from not a very nice bloke i didnt no who the breeder was or where she came from. if any body could help or knows of anyone in perth or WA who is a breeder or has a litter i would be grateful to hear from you Thanks Cal
