I am trying to keep numbers to a maximum 10 / day so it's up to you on when you confirm. I already have one day almost full. Love to see your collies there, Val who owns the kennels used to breed collies and she would love to see some working. Dave.

I know you will Pippi......love those BC's....I'll have to give you a Kelpie to work though so you can feel difference.

Have you ever wanted to try your hand / paw at herding? Live in Melbourne metropolitan area? Now's your chance...I have gone to great trouble to find the perfect venue and the perfect sheep for you and your dog/s to give it a go. We will also be training on cattle and ducks at a later date for those experienced sheep dogs and handlers that need a challenge. We will be holding a beginers training day in the next month. If your interested please drop me a line. WARNING: HERDING IS ADDICTIVE! ;)

THanks for the welcome Kelpie-i. It has taken me a little long to find this forum hasn't it. I don't have much time to sit at the nerd these days ..a little busy with dogs. Nice to see some familiar names. Dave.

Just want to hear from any Kelpie / B/C people out there on what they do with Dogs. I like the Avenpart Lines myself and just want to hear waht other people have and do.. My kelpies work sheep, cattle and ducks (for fun). I also like Avenpart lines, theyare fine dogs, but they aren't suitable for me or for the work I want them to do. I also like Puds lines but I find them a bit soft (I have one and she annoys me a bit). It all depends on you and the type of work and sport you want to use them for. So are you looking for a kelpie or BC or do you own one or two or three......they are addictive. I'm going to have to get patches to stop me bringing the m home, hee hee. Dave.

Okay guys as you may have guessed from my user name I actually have herding dogs (kelpies)...cattle , sheep and ducks. Seeing this is a conversation about herding dogs I'd like to let you know about the training day which will be held last weekend of September in Melbourne (near the airport). We will be going through the basics, instinct testing the dogs and having lots of practicle fun with sheep and dogs. If any one is interested please contact me on email. Cheers, David.
