Barru working kelpies are selectively bred from proven old bloodlines specifically for their natural working ability. At Barru we aim to breed old-style kelpies with inherited shepherding attributes such as cover, break and cast. Our breeders display style and class, but must have enough strength and force to move stubborn stock - cattle included. Our dogs must be structurally sound and athletic with inherited high intelligence, calmness and compliant attitudes.
