Hello! Thank you for stopping by.
We are a family farm in the southern Midwest. We raise pork and use Working Kelpies to move sows and pigs around the farm and within barns. We rely on these dogs as work mates and family members and are honored to help carry on the tradition of this hardy, handy, keen breed.
Our dogs are co-workers, family members, and best friends. Years ago, when we needed to "upgrade" the farm dog, we considered all shapes and sizes of options of dogs and landed on Working Kelpies as a breed that could work livestock all day, but still be sound and sane enough to enjoy obedience class with the kids 4-H, and go hiking in the national forest on the weekend, then snooze on the kitchen floor in the evening. We have not been disappointed. If you'd like to learn more about this loyal, smart, athletic breed, please reach out - we love to talk about working kelpies.

Rosie is my right hand for moving sows to and from the pastures and farrowing barns and for fetching baby pigs. She has a ton of fetch and is super biddable.
Pups in Rose's last litter have numerous herding titles with AKC, ASCA, and AHBA on cattle, sheep, and ducks; including one pup with an American Herding Breed Association Herding Trial Championship at just two years old.

When not working livestock, all our dogs do 4-H dog class with the kids. Rose has her AKC Good Citizen Certificate and AKC Trick Dog titles through Advanced.

Mick helps me in the chip barn moving pigs down the alley and in and out of pens. Mick both drives and fetches and is the cool, confident help I need moving hogs in tight spaces. He's super heavy boned and has worlds of presence.
Mick has his AKC Trick Dog Novice title and the most willing, easy-to-train attitude I've ever seen. I anticipate these pups will be the same.

Mick has OFA Excellent Hips and Normal Elbow. He is CA clear.
