Thanks so much for the info! She looks almost exactly like a red kelpie except for complete curling in her tail. She was an unchipped stray so honestly I’m assuming she was probably bred to look like a Kelpie since they’re so rare in the US then dumped because of her tail. 😢 I’m so glad we got her!

Hello! I recently got my rescue dog's results back, and we honestly had no idea, but were surprised she didn't come back as an Australian Kelpie at all (she looks identical to the breed). Here's her breakdown:

Herding

26 % Australian Shepherd

16% Miniature American Shepherd

4% Border Collie

4% Australian Cattle Dog

3% German Shepherd Dog

3% Collie

Companion

13% Norwegian Elkhound

5% American Eskimo Dog

Sporting

16% Labrador Retriever

2%
Golden Retriever

Guard

4% Doberman Pinscher

3% Rottweiler

Terrier

1% Lancashire Heeler

My question is do you do testing for Australian Kelpie? I can definitely see most of these breeds applying to their ancestry. Thank you!
