When Quinn met Elsa

With Sleet and Mindy getting older, these 2 are destined to fill the hole left when they retire.

Elsa is sired by Wundurra Mitch, who is Capree Outlaw x Mindy. Elsa’s dam is Remi, who is so talented.

Lots of bonding time with these pups.

First day back at work for the kelpies. The cattle dogs have to wait a week. 2025 😎

Reece, now 9.5 weeks old
I knew Robyn wanted a relaxed type of pup, and when I described him as a ‘floppy puppy’ we knew he was the right one for her. The most relaxed pup in the litter.
We just love his break out, which is also evident in energiser bunny Quinn as well. Such a clean heading dog.

Reece is going to be a big boy!

Robyn brought him over and he showed some nice moves on the sheep, with a lovely natural square break.

Little Quinn having her first proper look at sheep. Day 1 and day 2, and is 8.5 weeks old here.

Showing lots of nice moves! Love seeing how their brains are wired.

Makes me so happy to see these dogs continuing to prove themselves as genuine stockdogs. There 100% is still a role for them in agriculture. When people say they have fallen out of favour, or there isn’t the work for the breed anymore, don’t listen. The dogs which fell out of favour are the ones bred from non working stock… the ones continuously bred from dogs not proven in real work situations.
As a breed they have such an amazing ability to outwit, outplay and outmanoeuvre difficult stock. People would have less injuries in their working dog teams if they added in one.

Thanks for the feedback Emily, and for letting me share your message.

3 weeks old, and looking a million dollars already.

9 years today since the first frozen semen Erudite litter was born!

What a fantastic litter, and with Luna a granddaughter of CJ (pictured) and the planned litter with Kelly son Mako next year, the legacy continues on.

Merry Christmas to everyone! Photo courtesy of Lee…. Erudite Finnegan rocking those antlers in Western Australia.

8 weeks old now.
Time flies!

Quinn is staying and the boys have gone to some outstanding stockpeople

Geoff McDougall (McDougalls Kelpies), Neil Fitzgerald (Saltpan Kelpies) & Robyn Taylor (Taylor Made Kelpies), as well as Diesel’s owner Mark Mangold (Diamondhill Kelpies)

Pretty cool to think the breeder of the dog I’d been chasing in bloodlines, Saltpan Cobber, bought a pup from this litter. Neil was also very familiar with Futura Ned, who Jade is also line bred on.

Quinn out with the adults today. She is such a smart, switched on pup.

The last of the planned babies! Phew, I knew when I timed 2 ACD & 2 kelpie litters to all be around the same time I’d have to just block out my diary for a few months but it’s been worth missing quite a few trials. Add in the foal and it’s been hectic!
Remi did the opposite to her mum Jade, and had 4 girls and 1 boy.
Looking forward to working with Quinn and one of these girl pups in the future.

Tyson at 7 days old, looking all class like the horses behind him.
3 generations from both sides in the photos. A pure quarter horse, a pure thoroughbred, and a number of Australian Stock Horses. The ASH Society runs an open stud book so the breed can maintain flexibility and always keep performance in mind. Much like the Working Kelpie Council. Interestingly, but not surprising, both the ASH and the WKC animals have far less inherited genetic issues than the closed stud book (such as the ANKC) breeds.

18 months ago this handsome boy headed to Louisiana Station at Cooktown, QLD. He was from the first Flynn x Ivy litter.
Pierre reports that he was going well on the cleanskin bulls, working alongside his black mouth curs. Feral bulls conceded quickly to him and he was casting out some distance.
Very good to get such positive feedback from such a working environment- tough country with tough cattle.
Sadly though, he looks to have been bitten by a snake 😭

Quinn is turning out to be so much fun.

Shearing, drenching & backlining. Kelpies Sleet & Mindy collect them from the chute pens, and ACD Luna packs them tight in the race for me. These 3 dogs make the job really easy.
