Australian Kelpie For Sale Canberra

Kelpies are hardy working dogs that have become capable of withstanding the harsh Australian climate, and if you intend to use a Kelpie for herding, you will struggle to find a better dog for the job. However, in recent years, the breed has begun gaining popularity, as they can also make great family dogs.

Finding Kelpie pups for sale from a registered breeder in Canberra or the Australian Capital Territory is currently not possible, as there are no registered breeders listed there currently. You may be able to find these dogs in classified ads, but buying from a registered breeder is generally always better.

Thankfully, Pets Online has listed some reputable Kelpie breeders close to Canberra and the Australian Capital Territory, so you won't need to search high and low.

The Safe & Responsible Way To Buy Kelpie Puppies Online In Canberra

While there aren't any licensed Kelpie breeders in the Australian Capital Territory, Pets Online recommends buying from a registered breeder, as they often test for hereditary diseases before breeding.

When checking up on a breeder, you should ensure that their dogs are being raised and treated ethically and that they are following the RSPCA guidelines. You should also ensure they have all the relevant documents for the dogs on their property.

Another good way to check is to look for reviews online for the breeder you want to buy from to see if they are legit and have had previous litters of healthy pups.

If you aren't too worried about getting a Kelpie pup, you should also consider adoption, as many adult dogs at rescue organisations need a forever home.
