Summary
About Australian Kelpie
The Australian Kelpie is a medium, athletic herding dog, bred for stamina and focus. Intelligent and quick to learn, it needs extensive daily exercise and mental work. Affectionate yet independent, it excels in herding and dog sports, stays generally healthy, and suits active, committed homes.
About Cavapoo
