Stud Dogs
We have worked in the agricultural and pastoral industries for over 25 years. In that time we have seen many Working Kelpie Dogs. Some good, some great and some not so great. To achieve success in the breeding program consistency is the key to producing reliable, dependable all round dogs that are easy to train and work in both the paddock and yard. The Hawkesbury Working Kelpies fit the bill for your needs.
Promoting the Working Kelpie
We promote the working Kelpie by way of working dog demonstrations. Anthony had his Kelpie team at the 2011 Sydney Royal Easter Show. This was a big hit with show-goers with up to 600 people attending each demonstration. The feedback was positive. Anthony also demonstrates his Kelpies at local shows and field days.
Stud Dogs
We strive to breed hard workers eager to please, that are worthy to breed on with and are proud of. Characteristics we look for are loyal and kind nature, with a natural/early instinct, stamina to go all day, forceful (not to back down on/off). Our dogs are big, sound, strong, robust, all-rounder's.
