Where are Australian Kelpies from?

Australian Kelpies are from Australia. In the 19th century, Scottish Collies were brought to Australia and crossed with Dingoes (wild dogs native to Australia) to produce a breed that could cover enormous distances in rough terrain and intense heat. The resulting mix, the Australian Kelpie, is an ideal working dog for Australian farms and ranches. The word “Kelpie” is actually a Gaelic word meaning “water sprite.”
