KELPIE PUPPY PRICING

Pricing for our Noonbarra Stud Kelpie puppies : $2200. (8 Weeks old)

Prices are for 8 week old Kelpie puppies. Each pup or litter is priced individually. Please add $150 for puppies held for customer until over 9 weeks of age. This includes a second set of vaccinations, worming and some extra training. Except in special circumstances we usually do not hold puppies for a customer more than 10 weeks of age.

We prefer our Kelpie puppies to go to their new home around 8 weeks of age. This is perfect. It allows the customer to get their puppy when they at their most dependent and gives them time to get used to the puppy. Sometimes in winter months we might hold them back an extra week or a little more if we get bad weather. We want each puppy to fit in well with their new home and owner. If you cannot take your puppy at around 8 weeks of age, please contact us within 24 hours once you are notified and we can discuss it or postpone you to another litter. The period from 8 weeks of age to 18 weeks of age is the most important time in their life for training and it's when they learn the most. This can be a very rewarding time for the owner and the training and time spent with the puppy helps to form a strong bond.

KELPIE PUPPY FOR SALE
8 mths old
Red & Tan MALE  puppy. -

Price ...  $1200

This is a fantastic price for a lovely young dog. We know most customers want a little 8 week old puppy (and we currently have lots of bookings) but this little fellow is only a few months older and has already been well trained to travel in a car and crate training among other things. We have had a lot of enquiries but most have been interstate and even one overseas. places like Perth, Hobart and Darwin have huge transport prices so that cut out a number of people who'd be a good fit but two have now ordered puppies (cheaper transport) from future litters. We'd very much prefer the customer to come to us and see him in person but we might consider sending by road transport if the situation seems a good one.

He is playful but also very easy going and laid back. We considered keeping him as a future sire but at the moment we have way too many dogs and need to reduce the size of the stud urgently over this summer. We have already had a few Kelpies up at low prices and this price is also ridiculously low.

So here's a chance to get a well bred Kelpie with pedigree, registration, microchip etc. that has already had some basic training and had two sets of vaccinations, so he's protected now for 12 months. He's a really good looking Kelpie too.

 He is an easy pup to have around and kind natured, gentler type of Kelpie. We like that he can be quite laid back. He would make a wonderful companion dog for a single person or a family. Still a puppy of course and can have his 'moments' but naturally he's quite a calm dog with a lovely softness there that makes him a bit easier for handling. Very gentle nature and settles well. That's something we really like in our dogs.  Jake gets along with all the adult dogs here and is quite brave for a puppy. Nice affectionate nature and likes to be around us and part of whatever is going on. He travels perfectly in car so that's a huge plus.

We haven't had him off the farm much we have managed to get him out and about a bit. We had him out at Lake Canobolas park recently. That is a big recreation area in Orange and a great place to take dogs for socialisation. Lots of cyclists, hikers and two big groups of Dragon Boat rowers. They all seem to love dogs so we have an ideal situation. He enjoyed his day out and got quite a few pats. He's not generally an excitable dog but he was fairly playful for a while and then just settled and laid down.  It's nice to have a dog that you don't have to struggle with.

If you are looking for a male puppy that is a happy dog and playful but also with a more gentle nature, then this may be the right dog for you. This puppy has already had basic puppy training and has had extensive crate training. He is definitely one of the best here for crate training and travelling in a car. So that's a massive advantage to any owner. He has been into Bunnings and to a cafe as well. Some situations, especially noisy environments can still make him uncomfortable but you have to expect that. He will adapt more and more over the next few months as he's exposed to different things. Overall we thought he was better than most pups of his age. He can be very playful when it's called for and can run fast and be active but like many of our dogs, he is naturally a fairly quiet sort of dog.

This pup would make a great companion dog or family dog. He loves to be with us in the house at night and very affectionate. He is very good around other dogs and has a very loyal nature. He responds well to training. He loves to come for a run with the big dogs behind the motorbike. His Dad is Noonbarra Ben, who is one of our favourite dogs and sires. He has produced some fabulous pups for us over the years. He is a great companion dog too. Jakes mum is Noonbarra Tammy, a very happy, playful girl who we adore. She is the sweetest thing and very soft and gentle. These dogs go back to Noonbarra Dave.

He has been an outside kennel dog as well as an inside dog so no problems in that regard. Like most of our dogs, he hasn't had any real exposure to children, or animals such as horses, chooks or cats but he's the type to adapt quite quickly. He has been around motorbikes and is comfortable running with the bike. Just recently I took him out on a short mountain trail hike. First time ever. He had a lovely time and met a lot of people. Never jumped on anyone or caused a problem. He has never been around children but he met some on the walk and was fine.  I have also walked him in the streets of Orange and he was fine with traffic etc. He hasn't had a lot of time off the farm but he will adapt fairly quickly to a new situation.

 

 

He's a good looking Kelpie

 

      

He travels well in back or front of car or in crate.

ADULT FEMALE KELPIE FOR SALE
Available Now

2 ½ year old girl. .... $650

TEMPORARILY WITHDRAWN FROM SALE   - ON HEAT

We have a delightful little female who we have just made available. She has a very sweet nature and is very pretty.

She is a very small Kelpie so easy to handle, lift up etc. We usually breed smaller Kelpies and are well known for it as we are on some very old Kelpie lines when all Kelpies were small-medium but this lovely girl is petite even by our standards. We had intended to keep her but we have kept too many dogs in the stud over the last couple of years and we really need to reduce numbers this summer. So we are letting her go at an incredibly low price just to ensure we get a 'perfect' home for her and no one needs to miss out.

She has had basic training and has a very sweet personality but hasn't been off the farm a lot so will still take a few weeks to find her feet in a new environment but she's easy to handle. She travels well in the car, gets along with other dogs (currently kenneled with Dusty), crate trained and very affectionate.

 

 

 

    
First time in Bunnings and off the farm. Got pats from people but still a bit overwhelmed by all the noise and commotion. She did well.

 

Good at the cafe too

She is a very affectionate little girl

ADULT FEMALE FOR SALE   

Red (brown) & Tan Kelpie Female For Sale - 5 years old     

$600 - Available Now   NOW SOLD

Companion dog only - Not sold as breeder

We have a lovely adult female up for sale to the 'right' home. She would fit into most situations but keep in mind that she has mostly been on a farm and it will take some weeks for her to get used to a new home and environment. She's a smaller girl who's naturally really friendly, happy and loves people and getting pats. She's still young so expect some degree of energy, playfulness and activity. She's a dog who wants to do things with you. She hasn't been a house dog much until lately. She is being sold as a companion dog only - not as a breeder. She had difficulty with her last pregnancy and it was very stressful on her and us. So here's a chance to get a nice dog at a bargain price. 

Don't expect a highly trained dog. She has been part of our little Kelpie mob here and mostly kennelled or in large play/exercise yards. She knows all the basics of course but at this crazy price we are just not prepared to spend a lot of extra time in training her to a higher level. Her new owner can have some fun teaching her tricks etc. once she settles in. She's a smart little girl and very food motivated so not hard to teach.

She's had extensive crate training and is a good traveller and walks on a leash and comes when called, sit on command etc. It's important that we find the 'right' home for her. We want her to be happy and have a good life. We also want the new owner to have a lot of fun with her and benefit as well.

She has a lovely soft coat which is nice when she snuggles up to you, especially in winter. She has been kennelled at the stud with numerous dogs and has been in with gentle Amy lately. Before that she was in with a young five month old male and before that about 4 weeks in with old Jim. She probably might be a bit exuberant with little dogs as she is used to the rough and tumble of working dogs but to be honest we don't know.

She would be good for a single owner or a couple and also in a home where she is the only dog. So quite a few options there.

She travels very well in the car and sits up in the front seat with no problems. She walks well on the lead for us and is fairly easy to handle in that regard. Keeping in mind that for the first few weeks she will be very distracted and well out of her comfort zone. So like all adult dogs going to new homes, she will require a little time and patience to settle in and get back to being her normal self. She would be a wonderful dog to take on walks and relax with at a cafe or park.

We took her out to a cafe this week and into Bunnings and she was very distracted by everything going on but was better than we expected. (see photos). She liked the people but wasn't fully comfortable with the noise. She'll adapt to things like that very quickly. She just loves people and is always up for a pat. People like her too. They have said how cute she looks. She has a soft, gentle face. She in in good health with no problems. She has a small nick in one ear but it's not distracting.

 

          
Out at a cafe meeting people. December 2022

 

It's hard to know what kind of person she would best suit. She should fit into most situations. She is settled and relaxed in the house at night but she's still young so she can also be active and playful. To be fair, she hasn't been getting as much attention here as we'd like in the past year. We understand how people have busy lives and you can't always walk a dog or devote time to them. She's be fine with that as long as it's not for very long periods. Over winter/Spring here she certainly hasn't had much attention from us at all. The continual storm damage and rain has kept us extremely busy.

We often retire our ex-breeders here but of course they don't get as much attention as they would in a happy home with someone who has the time to spoil them and play with them on a regular basis. So we prefer it if we can find the right placement. It would be wonderful if she could find someone who would like to share their life with her.

She likes to be close to you and is always interested in whatever you are doing. Loves to come into the house and likes nothing better than to be inside with the us. In the last few years she has been kept on the farm so she will need some time to readjust to the traffic, noise or crowds etc. Of course, like all our Noonbarra Kelpies, she still has a sensitive side and every now and then can be temporarily uncomfortable in new places or situations. She usually gets used to it very quickly and is relaxed again. Most of the time, she's very friendly, active and outgoing. Can get a bit pushy for a pat sometimes so better with an owner that won't let her walk over them. Like all adult dogs, she will probably take a few weeks to settle into a new home fully but she is an outgoing, friendly type of dog so we think she'll will be good fairly quickly. She loves to go for little walks and car rides.

           

First time in Bunnings - December 2022

She is well looked after here and gets to play with plenty of other dogs but of course, here, she is just part of a big Stud and as much as we care for her, we often have to put most of our time into puppies and she is shared with  many other dogs. So of course we can't give her the same attention as a person can one-on-one. If we can't find the right home for her, we'll just keep her here forever but she will only have a day here and there where she will be house dog so it would be wonderful if she could find someone who would like to share their life with her. She is a good looking dog and is in great condition.

 PRICES FOR PUPPIES FROM THIS LITTER

These Kelpie Puppies ...  $2200   
(INCLUDES CRATE TRAINING AND ALL VACCINATIONS AS WELL AS MICROCHIPPING)

Ben is a wonderful young sire for us.  Ben's dad is Noonbarra Dave who has already made his mark as a top level sire for us and is very popular with our customers. Ben is very similar in both looks and personality. He is a friendly and a happy easy going type of dog. He loves to be around you and involved with what you are doing. He was a wonderful dog right from a small puppy and easy to train. He has a has a sense of play and fun and always happy. Ben is also a very clever dog and learns quickly.

We think he's a very handsome Kelpie and we often gets comments at cafes etc. when we take him into town. People love patting him. Ben, just like his dad, Dave, was so easy to train as a puppy and is the type of dog that people enjoy having around. He's the type that wants to please.  He travels well in a car and makes a first class companion dog.

He works on sheep very nicely and can handle stubborn sheep. Good presence in the stockyards. Lovely point of balance and will come in when needed. Good work taking sheep off rails, fences etc. Loves running with the Ag bike and gets along with other dogs. He's a great dog in the house and settles well. Usually curls up in a dog bed or on the lounge. We also take him into town every now and then and he is perfectly behaved at cafes etc. In the car you wouldn't even know he was there. He has that loyal, faithful nature that we like in all our dogs and gets along with other dogs and animals.

Debbie is gentle little Kelpie and sister to Noonbarra Billy here in the stud. She's a quiet, calm type of Kelpie. She's a young girl and this is her first litter. She is being a lovely mother and looking after her puppies very well. She is a good dog indoors or out at the kennels. Travels very well in a car. Debbie is another Kelpie who has a soft nature and is a wonderful dog to have around.  The combination with Ben has been planned for some time and the puppies look very nice.

Price include all vaccinations against serious dog diseases, Parvo/Distemper and Hepatitis. These puppies will also be Microchipped. They will be Vet checked, given regular worming, registration with W.K.C. in National Stud Book for Purebred Working Kelpies, also have a Noonbarra Dog folder and Kelpie information.

We want each puppy to be the best possible match for their lifestyle and situation. Firstly we work out which litter would best suit and than we do a lot of evaluating of each individual puppy. So, for example, we would match a different dog to a retired couple who are home 24/7 than we would for a young bloke who is very active and needs a running partner or for someone doing dog sports or maybe someone needing a strong willed cattle worker compared to someone with three little kids looking for a soft natured affectionate family dog. Click here to read more on how we evaluate each puppy

All our pups get the best start to life here at the Noonbarra Stud. We think happy, healthy puppies are more likely to be easier to train, are better bonded to their owners and it helps to make them happy, well adjusted adults. We even have a basic puppy training program which includes socialising, exposure to noise, car travel and the beginnings of learning good manners and basic obedience. It also includes (very importantly) comprehensive day by day crate training sessions for each puppy. This is an incredible advantage for our customers. There is a page outlining this training on our website and much more detailed information in our book 'Kelpie Basics'. Click here for more about crate training.

Early socialising and handling of puppies makes it all so much easier for our customers. We often have a puppy or two in side on the lounge with us at night watching TV. Our mothers have the highest degree of nutrition when pregnant and after they whelp, so pups are very healthy and Mum is easily able to look after them with no stress.

We handle each puppy day by day, so they get used to human touch and we start to supplemental feed the puppies at 3 weeks of age. They also undergo a full worming program with a Veterinary supplied Fenbendazole based medication, all are carefully checked over by a Vet and each puppy is microchipped and vaccinated against major diseases, so you get the healthiest pup possible. They are well socialised right from the start and that makes them so much easier to handle and train for our customers. It also gives each puppy a strong connection to humans and makes them more affectionate and helps to build a better bond between you.
