The breed , American Cream Draft Horse has split over time into the Australian Kelpie and the working Kelpie. The Australian is the variety that is seen at conformation dog , German Wirehaired Pointer shows.

Appearance
The Kelpie's has a double coat, , Hackney with a thick undercoat and a weather-resistent outer coat. , Morgan Horse The coat , Lurcher comes in seven colours: black, chocolate, red, smokey blue, fawn, black and tan (from dark brown to a light cream), and red and tan -  in the 'Australian' the colour , Nez Perce Horse should be solid; the 'working' can have the colours , Soft Bills either solid or with tan, and occasionally with small white markings. Different kennel clubs' breed , Tiger Horse standards have preferences for certain colours, , Palomino and Pinto Horses so what is acceptable for show dogs , Australian Stock Horse in some venues might not be acceptable in others. The colour , How to Care for Your Bird has no relationship to the dog's working ability, so ranchers looking for capable working dogs , Newfoundland usually disregard the dog's colour. , Choosing your cage

Kelpies stand between 17 and 23 inches (43-58.5 cm) at the withers and generally weigh from 24 to 45 lbs (11 to 30 kg).

Temperament
Clever, resiliant and high energy, these dogs , How to Care for Your Bird may run 60 kilometres(37 miles) in a working day.  They can work in all temperatures, handling heat and cold(though not extremes) well.  Seen often in commericals running on the backs of sheep, they do this as required in holiding pens where it is not possible or safe to run between the animals. , Tiger Horse

Health
Kelpies are a hardy breed , Sloughi with few health problems.

History
The history of this breed , Dandie Dinmont Terrier is not well documented so its unclear how they cam into being.  Some say the breed , Soft Bills came from crossing Scottish sheepdogs with smooth-haired collies.  Others say they were borne of crossing domestic dogs , Egyptian Mau with the Australian Dingo.  This has some credibility, as they share the Australian Dingoes resistance to paralysis ticks, but it is not born out from genetic testing.
