Also my Kelpie's name is "Hina" she has floppy ears and is one bloomin clever dog born from two full Kelpie parents with "pricked ears" she can gun any dog in the park with the obstacle courses her agility is deadly fast so i am lucky to even have a Kelpie with floppy ears i think there originally special.
In regards to 'floppy ears' Actually for your info Aussie Kelpies ancestors are a mix dog breed of different black collies with even possibilities of some dingo blood claimed the first ever generation of kelpie was a black and tan female pup with "floppy ears" in 1872 bought by Jack Gleeson from Casterton from a scottish bloke known as the Gleeson Kelpie every Kelpie from then on was bred from her line that is most logical answer to where 1 qtr of the kelpies get there floppy ears from!! :)
Floppy ears isn't the reason I'm not going with Noonbarra. I know Noonbarra are great dogs, and I'd love to get one but they are very expensive.. Also, I am interstate and so would not be able to see the pup or the parents of the pup, and I think it's important to see them.
I don't mind whether mine has floppy or upright ears, it doesn't bother me at all.
@NerdHunter87 Shows what you know. 20% of Kelpies are born with floppy ears. I have two kelpies. My red one has upright ears and my white one has floppy but they are littermates. Both are CKC registered since the AKC does not recognize this wonderful breed yet.
If the dogs are desperate for a treat they will most likely do the last trick that you teach them... our Kelpie loves to "speak" as this was the last trick we taught him.
haha iv got a kelpie/bull terrier but you can hardly notice its got any bull terrier in it, its so cute one black ear one white, one is always up the other down (unless it hears u say dinner or walk then both ears are up and head tilted to the side XD), oh and its also called lucky :D
I LOVE KELPIES! Lucky is adorable. They are hard to find in Canada and are usually crosses here (mine is crossed with an Aussie Shep. KOKO hates the cold here in Canada and stays inside all winter. SHe is a princess.
I love kelpies! My dog is 3/4 bordercollie and 1/4 kelpie as you could imagine, she's not very easy to maintain! But she is realy smart. Youre dog is so smart and cute! I want to adopt her!!!! :D
i ♥ kelpies

Just like with australian cattle dogs, when you are teaching them tricks, they think they are the ones tricking you! =p

Looks like she is a little too smart - she's anticapating the commands lol. I guess I'm going to be dealing with this myself soon!

Ja, Kelpies sind klug. Sie machen aber auch Kunststücke von ganz allein. Schaut euch mal die Videos von unserer Kelpie Hündin Chica an!!

Our kelpie also thinks a turn on the
spot is a suitable substitute for doing a
"rollover" now and then.
- it always amuses us!
