My 1 year old kelpie border x can easily reach speeds over 50km an hour. I have trouble keeping up with her at full speed on my bike. Not sure if this is normal as she is much faster than my other dog.

How big do kelpie cross ridgeback dogs grow?

My 10 yo female ridgeback x kelpie is 35kg. She has no health problems (not even arthritis). She has a few lumps / fatty deposits, but no cancer. She is a long dog like a ridgeback but her height is slightly taller than a kelpie. She has the ridgeback look and laziness inside with a gentle , but the energy of a kelpie when outside (especially in the water). She doesn't bark, bite, jump or dig and is very well behaved but can be unpredictable at times with other dogs (an age / tolerance thing I think as this is fairly new behaviour). She doesn't like yapping dogs that jump at her.
