Kelpie Stock Dogs

All About Kelpies:

Beau (our Sire) Ledgerock Boston

Australian Stock Dogs make the perfect “Mate”. As working dogs we've chosen a pair that produce cow dogs. Kelpies are distinct from heelers since they naturally go to the front of stock instead of driving them away from a cowboy. Kelpies have been bred for decades to instinctively make great stock dogs. In addition they are great people dogs too. They are less territorial than collies or heelers and you don't have worry about them biting the neighbors kids. About half of our first liter went to people that loved Kelpies and don't plan to work them. They make great people pets and are quiet enough to have in the house.

CLK Crow (Sire of Seth Creek Belle) http://hometown.aol.com/kelpieguy

1998 Black/tan male bred and owned by Kelly Orr. Sire: Deerwood's Ace of Spades x Dam: Triple S BB Lace.

Crow is the first pup out of Lace. His is my right hand when it come to any stock work. He is wide enough to work undog broke lambs yet able to come in a give a clean nose bite to unruly steers. He is extremely biddable and so willing to please that it has been hard to work anything else. He has control enough to even work ducks. He is one of the most honest dogs I have been around. We have a great partnership and he covers any of my shortcomings when it comes to the trial arena.

Crow is starting out the trial season in a good way. The 2003 Klamath Cow Dog Trial had 63 dogs run. Crow made it to the finals and finished 11th overall. Crow placed 8th the first day, fourth the next day and third the final day to become the reserve champion open arena at the Box R Oregon Championship Cowdog Trial. To finish up the year, Crow finished in the top fifty dogs in USBCHA to qualify to go to the National Finals.
