Merrill Creek Kelpies

My favourite pup by far Merrill Creek Fly. She may be little but she is brave as they come. Only 5 months old and backing, looks like she has the makings to be like her Dad Koonama Dick. Will be very keen to see how she turns out once she grows abit.

Kip and Merrill Creek Bo down the yards learning some skills. Kip is only young so he spent most of his time running around the outside of the race following me up and down, learning how it all works. Bo is coming along nicely with plenty of bark.

Both are for sale.

Kip is from excellent working parents. He will make an excellent working dog or pet. Friendly young boy who comes when called and sits by your feet. Vaccinated and microchipped dob 1/03/2023

Bo will be registered with the Working Kelpie Council, vaccinated and microchipped. Dob 31/12/2022

It has been an emotional couple of weeks out here at Merrill. We said goodbye to some of our favourite girls who unfortunately had to be re-homed.
Skip has found an absolute 5 star home out at cowra as a super spoilt and loved pet. I always had a special spot for skip and could not bear to let her go, until I realised she could have a better life with someone else. I get regular updates on her and am super happy she found her new owner.

Bindi and Elvis have also found wonderful new homes down in Victoria and Western nsw, with excellent breeding they are getting a second chance at being working dogs.

Our gorgeous old girl Bonnie has found her self in semi retirement down past Wagga with a very loving family. She will be in charge of around 40 head, Enough to keep her happy and still working but not overworked.

Its a tough feeling when your happy but sad 😃😪

Some more training for these two youngsters.
Looks like Merrill Creek Fly will be just like her Dad and love backing. Merrill Creek Ned is a very vocal pup that has plenty of bark. Very much looking forward to seeing what these two can do.

A little while ago we were ram shearing. These rams are big cross bred boys so we thought we would be nice to the shearers and we tried something new. After some recommendations we found a contractor with a shearing trailer.
Highly recommend Gary Curran.
If your after hassle free shearing without the cost of sedation then this is the way to go.
Message us for Gary's details.

When its more fun pretending to be a working dog than sitting in the buggy.
The dogs don't mind an extra set of legs, even if its only 2.

A big day mustering. Any guesses on how many sheep in this Mob?
The dogs just thrive with these big numbers, get in and work as a team.

These collars are fantastic. Strong and last forever. I asked to get an extra keeper made up for the collar and it looks great. Very happy.
