Cal

I'm all ears!

Barked: Thu Jan 24, '08 9:47am PST


	I had Cal for seven months before he would come back to me at the dog park. How long have you had Tasman? It could be a Kelpie thing. They are known for working independently (as opposed to Border Collies, which tend to look to people for guidance). Tasman may just have a stronger working drive which makes him more independent than Cal may be (he is fiercely independent though). Cal's favorite thing to do at the dog park is to grab a ball or toy and circle the other dogs and people, eyeing them and hoping to entice them into a game of chase. For seven months, whenever I would try to round him up to leave, he would keep within ten feet of me, but never closer. It could take twenty minutes or more to corral him and get him out of the park, much to my embarrassment.

Molly

Throw the- ball... Throw- the ball

Barked: Thu Nov 6, '08 11:02am PST


	I know Kelpies aren't supposed to be real big on people, at least not a bunch of them but Molly is such a people dog it's scary! We take trips to the nursing home and she insists on going into every room and get loved on by each resident. Her favorite thing is when they have thier exersize class and they are all in a circle in the wheel chairs and they toss a beach ball back and forth and Molly gets to be in the middle and herd the stary balls back to people to throw again. She's a crowd pleaser. And LOVES to be cuddled and loved on by anyone who will offer a hand.

	Tipper likes to say hello to all the humans at the dog park or where ever she is. She enjoys humans but definitely is attached to me and sometimes to my boyfriend (her legal guardian) The best Kelpie "trick" I have ever seen her perform is the "Golden Retriever pond". We were in Tahoe and she insisted that all the Golden Retrievers need to be herded into a pond and she did not want them to leave.

	the golden pond thing is so funny!! we have had oso for about a year now and we have been so blessed. when we got him he was so mistreated we called him the guy who just got out of jail, overwhelmed by everything. but after alot of work he has become an amazing dog. we were living in front of a cow pasture and one day he got off his leash. within 5 minutes he had herded all the cows into a ball and put them in the barn!! i was amazed, the farmer was there and told me anytime oso wanted to herd just to let him.

I love a sand- spa

	When my mom adopted me they told her I was a Cattle Dog Cross. But then she saw a picture of a Kelpie that looks exactly like me and then found a list of characteristics, like water proof double coat, and I have all of them! So now she knows I am a proud Kelpie and doesn't make rude comments about my father anymore.
