Sheep Dogs

Sheep dogs are a very important part of nearly every farm. There are two main breeds of sheep dogs Kelpies and Border Collies.

To find out more about Kelpie sheep dogs and the job they do, see Noonbarra Working Stud Kelpies. You can find out more about training sheep dogs at the same website in the questions area.

To get more information about Border Collies vist Caylith Border Collies.

The book "The Story of Wool On Australian Farms" produced by the Kondinin Group should be in your school library. It shows some really cool pictures of sheep dogs in action.
