KELPIE LITTER DUE - NOW LIKELY SOLD OUT!

Noonbarra Dave - Noonbarra Honey

Pups due to be born in February 2020.   

This litter has only just been listed but we are already getting bookings so anyone interested will have to book in quickly. We are hoping to have another litter in April and maybe also May but until they are mated, nothing is certain. We don't usually breed during the colder months so after those litters we'll probably looking at around December.

This is a lovely litter and we and it's a repeated mating. This is the third time Honey has been mated to our wonderful sire, Noonbarra Dave. We have had many magnificent puppies in the past. However, this will be Honey's last litter and she will be retired from breeding then and only kept as a companion and worker.

Because we are a long running breeding Stud we have the advantage of knowing what grandparents and even great grandparents were like and we can apply that to our understanding of what to expect from litters. Both Dave and Honey were happy, easy going puppies themselves and that is very important as it indicates that their puppies will be similar. Noonbarra Dave has of course produced many pups for us and he has a fantastic reputation as an amazing sire. Honey is by our superb sire, Noonbarra Brock so we are talking exceptional bloodlines here. Her grandfather was the great Noonbarra Jackaroo.

Honey is a friendly, easy going type of dog. Not much bothers her. She is a smaller size and looks and acts a lot like her sire, Noonbarra Brock. She loves to come into the house, she's very affectionate and settles well. She has a great sense of smell so her pups would be a good choice for anyone wanting to do tracking or search and rescue training. She travels well in a car and walks nicely on a lead. She's the type of dog that wants to be with you and loves pats.

Noonbarra Dave hardly needs any introduction. Customers love him and many that already have his offspring are now asking for a second Dave pup or a Dave pup for friends and relatives. Dave is a dark coated, friendly, outgoing type of dog. Like Honey, he is affectionate, loves to go into town in the car and enjoys sitting at a cafe watching the passing parade of people. Of course, many stop to give him a pat, which he enjoys.

This mix of these two parents should give us a lovely natured puppies that are ideal for families and children. They will like to be involved in their owner's activities. We expect a reasonable degree of confidence and a better than average adaptability to new situations. Nice affectionate dogs that are very friendly and have a happy disposition.

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.

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.

This will be Jillaroo's last litter. She will be in retirement from breeding then and will only be a companion and worker. This litter and breeding is a wonderful combination of two lovely parents. We like it so much we have twice repeated this mating because of how good pups were the last two times. This upcoming litter is still a bit of a wait but we are already getting a few bookings.

Jillaroo is a very pretty, beautiful natured young Kelpie. This is her forth litter and she has been an incredibly good mum. She's an extremely clever dog and learns very quickly. She has a wonderful personality that is a combination of gentleness and friendliness. We love her to bits. She's sociable and happy and loves to play but she's also very soft and sweet and settles well. Rare to get all that in one dog.

Jillaroo is by Noonbarra Jim, and most customers know the lovely gentle pups he produces. Her mum is Noonbarra Roobie, owned by our friend, Dale. Another fantastic Kelpie who is very smart and has been taught a number of tricks by her owner, including ringing a bell to go outside.

 Jillaroo is a good dog indoors and settles well. She loves to go for a car ride. Loves the motorbike too. Noise is not a problem. Very friendly dog and a kind nature. She loves to sit with us at night and watch TV. Excellent in crate or kennel. Gets along extremely well with other dogs.

She's a very good dog working sheep and has a nice smoothness in the paddock but can also bring some extra power and push when working in the stockyards. She shows a lot of the old style our dogs are noted for such as break-out, point of balance and calmness when in close. She's a very classy worker.

Noonbarra Brock is a fantastic sire by Ameroo Ned and Noonbarra Emma. He was a superb dog right from a puppy. Very easy to handle and adapted to new situations well. Always happy and a devoted type.

He has been a delight to own and train and makes the most wonderful companion. A dog who is faithful, easy to train, friendly, wants to please and very intelligent. He travels well, and adapts to new situations easily. His breeding goes back to many of the great Kelpies in Australia. He has a great temperament and is a very happy dog.

The combination of Brock and Jillaroo gives us very nice pups with wonderful temperaments, good with kids, affectionate companions and versatile workers. Happy, friendly outgoing dogs suitable for family companions, dog sports, trick training and sheepdog trials.

Brock is one of the best sires we have ever had and is being put over an increasing number of females.  He has a happy, friendly personality. He is a great mate to have around and is quite gentle while still being a wonderful dog that doesn't get bothered by much and adapts to new situations. Many of his pups have gone to family companion situations and have been ideal for that purpose. He is a very faithful dog himself and tends to produce that in his pups.

His work on sheep is very good. Has good bounce in yards that he inherited from his dad, Ned and he has lovely style in the field from his dam, Emma. Capable of any job.  His pedigree brings in fantastic old famous Kelpies like Phils Creek Nap, Capree Cobb, Glenlogie Lucky, Hortons Squire, Avenpart Zondo and more. Good break-out, point of balance and correct distance on sheep and a good strong approach that tends to keep stubborn sheep moving freely. Nice power to force in races and yards when required. Many of these these traits are difficult to obtain in working dogs these days.

He loves to come out in the car for a drive and we often take him with us to cafes or the leash free dog park in nearby Orange. Sometimes he just goes for a ride and doesn't get out at all, but he still enjoys the drive and being with us. He walks very smoothly on a lead at your side with no pulling and at home is the type of dog that just likes to quietly come up to us and get a pat and maybe a scratch behind the ear and then he likes to sit at our feet.

We expect this lovely combination once again to to give us pups that are fun loving and outgoing but also have a gentle side and settle well and take instruction easily. Would be a good choice for competition training too such as Obedience, Agility, sheepdog trials or even TV and movie work. Pups from these two outstanding parents would learn complex tasks easily. Both parents are highly intelligent and both have excellent skill sets.

 

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 pups come with a Noonbarra Dog folder and Kelpie information.

This may mean a customer might wait a bit longer to get the 'right' dog but it will be worthwhile.

KELPIE PUPPY LITTER EXPECTED
We are hopeful this proposed upcoming litter should be done in late Jan or early February and then due to be born around late March or April. 2020
NOONBARRA JIM - NOONBARRA ELLIE
All pups will be Red & Tan in colour
Kelpie puppies at 8 weeks of age : $1800

This breeding is an excellent combination. Both parents are gentle and kind natured. We expect medium sized offspring.

Jim is one of our favourite dogs. A great little mate. Jim has given us some absolutely fantastic puppies in recent times and we have a lot of customers that will only have his pups. He has great breeding. His dad is Noonbarra Ben VIII and his mother is Noonbarra Tammy. Goes back to Noonbarra Jackaroo, Kamileroy Queen and Futura Ned.
His work on sheep is back to the wonderful old styles we started with. Mostly open paddock with beautiful point of balance, style and walk in. Jim is one of our favourite dogs.

Noonbarra Jim is one of our older sires and has been outstanding over the years and often requested by customers. He is one of our best dogs and has a very laid back, easy going personality. Excellent house dog or travelling. Ideal at cafes, dog park etc. Likes to be with you. A very calm dog. He is getting older and this will be one of his last litters.

He walks beautifully on a lead and just moves along smoothly by your side. You hardly know he is there. Sometimes you forget you have a dog on the lead. He is also a wonderful dog to go places with. We often take him into town with us and if we stop at a cafe for coffee, he comes along and is perfectly behaved. He just tucks up under our chair and often even the waitress doesn't know we even have a dog. People are always impressed.

He is probably one of the calmest and gentlest of our dogs. He tends to put quite a bit of his special traits into his pups. We have used him over a lot of different females including those owned by other people. We have Noonbarra Jillaroo, Molly, Rosie and Becky in the Stud by him. His pups are always very popular.

 

The mix of these two parents should give us a slightly more gentle type of puppy. Almost certainly this litter will produce smaller Kelpies who are intelligent, easy to train and affectionate.

Noonbarra Ellie is a pretty little female and has a friendly, happy personality. She too has outstanding natural talent on sheep. She is easy to train and likes to please. She has a very high degree of inherited natural ability. Beautiful smooth work and a real joy to work.  Keeps sheep calm and settled and moving along at a nice walk without stress.

Ellie is always a happy little dog. A really lovely dog to own. Good in the house and not too excitable. She has a faithful nature and makes an ideal companion. She can be incredibly fast and agile with excellent stamina. So this could be a good litter for someone wanting a first class Kelpie for dog sports too. This is Ellie's 2nd litter to Noonbarra Jim. We had glowing reports from the previous one. The combination of these two dogs should give us something quite special, both in terms of temperament and working ability.

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.

These Kelpie Puppies ...  $1800    (pickup price)

This is our very popular manual designed for all Kelpie owners of every level from raw beginners through to experienced trainers. This practical Kelpie manual deals with everything involved in owning and training a Kelpie to ensure your puppy grows up to be a well mannered, obedient dog. It also works with adults too. A lifetime of experience with Kelpies is in this book.

The book is not about how to train Kelpies on sheep or cattle but this foundation training is important for all dogs! It deals with general obedience training, socialising your Kelpie, feeding, crating, toilet training, preventing problem behaviour in your Kelpie, dominance issues, understanding your Kelpie, Kelpies and car travel, bathing, digging holes, stealing food, walking your Kelpie on a lead, coming when called... and much more.

This specialised training is 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. This training usually takes between 4 and 6 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 an for extended periods including a couple of overnight sessions. 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 by plane to their destination. [See info below]. Getting your puppy started well in a crate is a big help to new puppy owners. Some people prefer to do all the training themselves and we are happy with that (unless the puppy is being flown) but for most people getting the timing right and knowing what is normal behaviour in a crate etc. can be daunting and we recommend this basic package 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 been trained 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 must sometimes be restrained and comply to what you want. It gives him boundaries and teaches him to be able to settle. It makes him 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 5 minutes of whining or protest at night for the first few nights. If you continue your pup's crate training he will absolutely love his crate just like our dogs here!
