Intelligent & Energetic Kelpie x Collie puppies—Ideal Working Companions

We are delighted to offer a litter of Australian Kelpie x Border Collie puppies for sale, located in Moylough, Ballinasloe. Now 5 months old, these puppies have grown into strong young dogs, with weights ranging from 15 kg to 20 kg, and are already showcasing the strength and athleticism of their Kelpie heritage, though not the typical brown coloration.

Both parent dogs are excellent working animals: the Kelpie father is fearless and powerful, able to jump 8-foot walls without breaking stride, and excels as a sheepdog. The Border Collie mother is sharp-eyed, incredibly intelligent, and strong-willed, ensuring nothing gets past her vigilant watch. Together, they have passed on exceptional working traits to these puppies.

The available puppies include a Female Black, a Male Black, and a Female Black/White. Each puppy has been vaccinated, wormed, and given a health check, ensuring they are ready for their new homes. These young dogs are eager to start working and need an active environment to truly flourish. Perfect for individuals or families who enjoy outdoor activities, these puppies will thrive in settings that offer both physical and mental engagement, whether on a farm, in herding roles, or as high-energy, loyal companions.

Don’t miss the opportunity to welcome one of these impressive, hard-working, and devoted young dogs into your life!
