A Kelpie can be kept in a small back yard for a very short time. Kelpies are energetic and sheep herding dogs so they need lots of running space. If you have a small back yard then it's important to get your dog out into a field and let them have a good run (play ball, throw sticks.) You can also join a fun group (club) that has special events once a week for game-playing for Kelpies (and this goes for any sheep-herding dogs.) It's fun and you and your pet will enjoy it. Thought this extra information would help you to understand what your dog is all about: Kelpie Breed History Sheep backing The working Kelpie originated in Australia around the mid 1800's. It is said that the Dingo was thought to have played an early part in the development of the breed but that the Kelpie has no connection with the Border Collie whatsoever. The Border Collie was formed after the Kelpie was established. The breed was mainly developed from strains of dogs working various stock. Numbers today, in Australia, are in excess of 450,000 with most of these being required for work. Breed colours Black Kelpies once fairly common but these days are rarely seen in working dogs. Red and tan very popular and the second most common colour, although numbers may be in decline as some of the black and tan male sires now used for breeding do not carry any red and tan genes. Black and tan is the most common working dog colour in Australia and was considered to be the colour of the first Kelpie that was born around the late 1860's or early 1870's. Less common colours blue, cream and fawn and tan.

What do to when a dog tries to attack your dog?
Well, you should keep them in separate rooms if it gets too rough. If you want them to get along, you should probably bring them in the same room and sit on the floor, just watch them. If your small dog attacks your big dog, say something high-pitched, like "AH!" To startle it a bit. Soon your small dog will learn to leave the big dog alone.
