Kelpie Mix Breed Dog

RE: Kelpie Mix Breed Dog Post By Leo (Guest Post) (01/07/2008) Thanks so much for all of your feedback. I'm sorry my photo didn't come through, I will try again. If you have any further sparks of thought with the visual to help, please send a response - thanks again so much, glad to see there's a lot of kelpie cross fans out there!

So there could be a third breed in her background expressing itself. Just google Kelpie or Australian Cattle Dog to see nice photos. ACD's are stocky because the three root breeds are Dingo (the Australian feral canid, not a dog), Dalmation (hence the speckling) and English Bull, giving the lung power to run 50 miles a day in the 100 degree heat. Can't you tell I have one and love her very much? Best blessings to you and your Kelpie X! RE: Kelpie Mix Breed Dog Post By Bonnie Story (Guest Post) (01/07/2008) Hi! Sounds like a great dog. Often Blue Heeler or Queensland dogs can be crossed back to contribute stockiness, and by accident - but I think there may be a Pointer in the woodshed! They can be smallish, gracile and definitely have the ear-flop. Just a guess! Have fun! - Bonnie, allhappydogs.com RE: Kelpie Mix Breed Dog Post By Nat (Guest Post) (01/06/2008) Would be good to see a photo, however I have had cattle dogs in the past that haven't had pointy ears (apparently this is normal when they are puppies and sometimes they never stand up as they get older) Could be she's a mix of all sorts of dogs.
