Unsure at moment just watching the first episode but as a Kelpie owner I thought I’d give it a look

Talking to some Aussie mates, it's really opened the eyes of a lot of property owners as to the abilities of dogs.

And some "pro" dog handlers have been shocked by the poor standard of dogs on the TV .

But either way it's supposed to be very entertaining.

On kelpies generally, the past couple of years have shown me that the standard of kelpies in the UK, as abroad brush generalisation, is fücking woeful.

Some might say that's down to the training

I found muster dogs good, but a bit dissapinted it was cattle not sheep.
All the dog trials here seem to be mostly Black and Tan Kelpies, especially the yard dog trials.
There are more collies in the 3 sheep trials.
I have some terrific Kelpies. My male works wide and sometimes to wide and does not pressure the sheep enough. His father has done very well in dog trialing completions too.
My bitch comes from someone who does lots of trialing and her sister won a lot of trials in the last year.
I have 4 pups from them which are one. They are all variable in the way they work, but are all good and just need more training.

I have another litter at the moment and the black and tan parents produced 11 pups in

every Kelpie colour. Crean, silver. Grey, Red and black .

I didn't know that Kelpies came in cream or silver. I thought a Lab pup had sneaked in!

The bloke i got the bitch off said she probably has the crean gene as he usually gets one in a littler. My male must also have it as I am getting heaps, and other colours. Crean kelpies are usually more yellow and mine are exceptionally pale. The Silver one is also very rare and I'm not sure how That works genetically.
Here is a photo of their older brother who just turned 1.

That is a bloody good series, entertaining viewing for anyone interested in working stockdogs.

I thought it was fairly average and the final trial at the end was unfair. attaching a rope to young dogs so you can catch them works well though and they do behave better if you are holding a plastic rake.

Maybe you get better “farm type “ tv than we do over here! Compared with crufts, countryfile and lambing live it is a bloody good watch!
