Harris Farms Bonus – DOB 17/03/18 Allstates Betts X Kippakoop Snippets
We have been able to procure a great young dog from Peter Griffiths, Peter rang and said “I have your next 3 sheep trial dog here” on watching how he controls his sheep with the right amount of distance, eye, cover and strength I bought him there and then. He has something special that you don’t see very often and I am proud to own him. There is a video of him on my Stockmans Kelpies Facebook page.

Bonus careful approach

Karrawarra Frank (Tackle) Karrawarra Sol x Paddys Pearl DOB 15/07/11 Black & Tan. An interesting young dog in the Karrawarra mould out of the great brood bitch Paddys Pearl. Stockmans Stud own Tackle in conjunction with the Lemnos Kelpie Stud. Tackle has the cast, distance and break that Karrawarra dogs are known for. He also has plenty of strength and will back & bark freely. He is a strong fearless cattle dog. Tackle is now the number one dog working on a property with 12,000 sheep and 1,000 cattle.
Tackle is a great casting dog have a look at this bit of him mustering in steep hill country.

Stockmans Clancy DOB 2002 – 2019, black & tan (Karana Bindi X Avenpart Pepa) Clancy is my “go to” dog, the dog I use when I have a difficult job, if I could have only one dog to work my sheep and cattle I would pick Clancy. He also has a special place after saving me from a bull attack see the feature article page. He has been used as a sire by the Lemnos Kelpie stud.
We lost Clancy this year 2019 when many days over 40 were just too much for him.

Karana Bindi DOB 1998, black & tan (Capree Watch X UD Scarlett) died 20/03/07 Bindi was a great mustering dog with a huge cast, strong on cattle yet had good natural distance off his stock he would back and bark on command, a top sire of outstanding all round workers, used several times by Kirkaldy Kelpie Stud.

Nearo Sky 1996- 2007 Blue (Wundurra Wylie X Connley’s Jess) Sky had eye on a few and was a good mustering dog yet he was a tough fearless yard and shed dog, he was a descendant of Scanlons Fred and he reminded me a lot of that outstanding sire, like S Fred, Sky was one of only a few Kelpies who would back cattle. Sky was a top sire and has been used widely in several studs.

Outside Sires Used

Barru Monkey Paddys Shadow X Barru Dot
Monkey is a big upstanding dog chock full of old Karrawarra blood. He is a very natural backing, barking dog inside a true full on yard dog. He still has all the attributes of the Karrawarra dogs outside with a great cast and natural break. He is a very strong dog with steady walk up force when working a few outside but he likes to get in and mix it with any stock. He is a true all round dog on any stock, sheep or cattle.
