KELPIE PUPPY PRICING

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

Prices are for 8 week old puppies. Each pup or litter is priced individually. Please add $150 for puppies over 9 weeks of age. This includes a second set of vaccinations, worming and some extra training. Except in exceptional circumstances we usually do not hold puppies 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 if we get bad weather. We want the 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 postpone you to another litter. The period from 8 weeks of age to 12 weeks of age is the most important time in their life and when they learn the most. This can be a very rewarding time for the owner and when the puppy bonds strongly with them.

KELPIE PUPPY FOR SALE

Red & Tan Male Kelpie Puppy. Available from 8 weeks of age. Ready to go to his new home now-  August 2022.   

PRICE .... $2200

Here's a lovely little Kelpie puppy who will be available very soon. He comes from many generations of selected breeding and this is a mating we have done before with great success.
This little fellow is a lot of fun. He's outgoing and friendly and fairly confident for his age. He would make a wonderful companion dog or a good stock working mate.

He has had some crate training to make things a lot easier for his new owner. He is a very happy, playful little fellow and very affectionate. Loves his toys. He doesn't have a name yet so customer can pick one. He's the sort of dog you could take anywhere with you and he'd adapt and have a great time with you. This is a delightful little happy puppy with great breeding and a lovely personality.

He loves to follow us around and interested in whatever we are doing.  He's also fine just playing with his toys by himself.  This puppy is very, very intelligent and can learn almost anything you teach him. So many of our customers get amazed at how smart these Noonbarra Kelpies can be.

He would make a fantastic companion dog for an active family. Great nature and a fun dog to have around. Good with kids and car trips. Most of our litters over the next 12 months will be fairly similar in as far as traits and personality goes.  This boy would also be a good choice for someone wanting a companion for travelling or just relaxing with in the evenings. He would also make a wonderful active little mate for someone interested in doing dog sports such as Agility. Like many of our Kelpies, he'd be perfect for going on hikes, camping, trail runs or even mountain biking. Excellent bloodlines and wonderful inherited working traits. When trained, he would be gentle and calm on livestock and perfect for Merino sheep.

Good looking little puppy and has some fantastic breeding behind him. He is the sort of dog that wants to be with you and loves a cuddle and a pat. Good in the car and would make a fantastic companion for either a family or single owner. Can be active and agile outside but settles indoors. (Keeping in mind that all puppies have periods of excitability).

His breeding goes all the way back to the 1800's. He is related to many famous Kelpies including, Capree Boss II, Noonbarra Butch, Avenpart Zondo, Bonorong Rex, Liscannor Pace, Kalari Basil, Glenlogie Lucky, Noonbarra Gabe, Barambogie Mack and Phils Creek Sam. (Most of these can be found in the book - 'Famous Kelpies'.

We take our breeding program very seriously and over many decades of professional breeding we have a huge practical and first-hand knowledge base about these bloodlines going back many generations and that combined with detailed pedigree information, related litters and our detailed evaluation sessions means that each customer gets the very best puppy to suit them in terms of behaviour, personality and abilities.

Price include all vaccinations against serious dog diseases, Parvo/Distemper and Hepatitis. He has been carefully checked over by Vet. He has also been Microchipped. He has also been on a complete program of worming. Comes with written pedigree and papers. Registration with W.K.C. in National Stud Book for Purebred Working Kelpies. He also has a Noonbarra Dog folder and Kelpie information, photos and other information. He has also had quite a bit of crate training and exposure to various situations and noise. So that will make it much easier for the new owner.

CRATE  TRAINING

This specialised training is a great start and a huge plus for you and your puppy. It is now included at no extra charge with every Noonbarra puppy sold. This training package is for crate training your puppy before you get him. This is to help your puppy sleep in a crate at night, in your home, with minimum or no disruption to your sleep. It is of course an ongoing training process and you'll need to continue to get it perfect. Plenty more detail in our book, 'Kelpie Basics'. This training usually takes approx. 6 - 8 days. To prepare your puppy we first introduce a number of puppies together and gradually get down to the puppy in the crate on his own for short periods and then for extended periods including a couple of overnight sessions. We also work with the puppy in a small crate next to us and often diffuse the little situations that pop up like frustration with the door or anxieties. Puppies are usually ready to go by 8 weeks of age. This is designed to get your puppy off to a great start and to learn to be relaxed and comfortable at night in a crate. We do a number of days and overnight training of your puppy to accept and be comfortable when confined to a crate. Most see this as their own special den and will go in of their own accord. This is a great help to all customers but it is essential to any pup being transported long distances to their destination.  Getting your puppy started well in a crate is a big help to new puppy owners. For most people getting the timing right and knowing what is normal behaviour in a crate etc. can be daunting and we like to get them started in the right direction.

 Without this training, many pups are likely to bark or howl for many hours (night after night) or even panic. We have seen pups from other breeders that haven't had any training get so panicked and upset they completely break down and need a lot of extra training just to get over the ordeal. We have seen untrained pups urinate, soil their crate or even vomit just from the stress & panic so the initial crate training should be done gradually and with lots of understanding and preferably with two or three pups together for short day periods and then the period in the crate gradually lengthened and the pup in on his own for short periods until you are able to crate overnight. We have very experienced in doing this and have crate trained hundreds of dogs including dogs from other breeders. You have to know when a pup needs to get out to relieve himself and when he is just frustrated at being restrained. Experienced dog owners know how to do this but new dog owners can have a nightmare time of it unless the breeder does the first few days of crate training for them. This crate training package is a 'restraint' lesson and is good foundation training and teaches your pup that YOU are the ADULT (parent/pack leader) and he/she must sometimes be restrained and comply to what you want. It gives the puppy boundaries and teaches them to be able to settle. It makes for a happier dog. It also helps with toilet training. Down-Stay training and tie up are two other important restraint lessons. Crate training stops your puppy from panicking in a crate and makes all your other training much easier. More info on how to crate train is in our book 'Kelpie Basics'. Please note that by no means can we make your puppy perfect in a crate within that short time frame. We can make the puppy accepting of the crate, not panicking and content & relaxed most of the time but most pups are not 100% happy to be restrained in a crate until they are at least 5 months of age or older. You should still expect a few minutes of whining or protest at night for the first few nights. If you continue your pup's crate training your puppy will absolutely love their crate just like our dogs here!
