KELPIE PUPPY LITTER DUE - Noonbarra Dave - Noonbarra Honey | February 2020 |
KELPIE PUPPY LITTER DUE - Noonbarra Brock - Noonbarra Jillaroo | Due: March 2020 |
UPCOMING PROPOSED LITTER - NOONBARRA JIM - NOONBARRA ELLIE | Due Approx: April 2020 |
All our Australian Kelpie puppies bred at the Noonbarra Kelpie Stud get the very best in individual attention, handling, socialising and training. Important too are diet and health issues such as regular worming at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks and 8 weeks of age, vaccinations including Parvo Virus, Distemper, Hepatitis and veterinary examination of each pup. Each puppy is also Microchipped. Some years we only breed a very small number of puppies and often we have months without any puppies, so bookings are extremely important. We still like to keep it as an all family run Stud.
The Bilson family has been involved in breeding & training Kelpies for just over 100 years and over many decades of breeding with three generations of our family, we have bred thousands of high class Kelpies over the last century and this puts us in a unique position that very few breeders can lay claim to. Our Noonbarra Kelpie bloodlines are highly regarded throughout Australia and around the World and our dogs today trace strongly back to the great Kalari Basil and Kalari Joker (with more infusions than any other bloodline in Australia) and then the lines trace directly further back to the legendary Coil and to all of the very first great Kelpies of the mid 1800's. All our Kelpie puppies are guaranteed 100% to work by 8 months of age. (WKC Guarantee plus health guarantee). Please always book ahead as there is often a waiting period to get one of our Noonbarra Kelpies. You must book with a $150 deposit (non-refundable) if you are serious about getting one of our puppies. See information on deposits below. All our Kelpies are registered with the Working Kelpie Council of Australia.

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 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.
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 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.
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 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.

KELPIE PUPPY PRICING
Prices listed here for Kelpie puppies are for
8 week old pups only.
We prefer our Kelpie puppies to go to their new homes around 8 weeks. This is the perfect age. This allows the customer to have the puppy when they are at their most dependent. We want the puppy to fit in well with their new home and owner.
If you need us to hold a pup for you longer than the standard 8 weeks, we charge an additional $100 to hold one week. We can only do this when we have enough time to be able to devote to the puppy. The period from 8 weeks is the most important in a pups life and it's when they learn a lot. As we usually have a number of puppies and lots of adults to look after, it's difficult to give one puppy the one-on-one attention that an owner can give. Except in exceptional circumstances we usually do not hold puppies more than 10 weeks of age. If you cannot take a puppy at 8 - 9 weeks of age then let us know within 24 hrs of us notifying you of a puppy and we can cancel that booking and look at a future litter. If you do not notify us then you will forfeit your deposit.
KELPIE BASICS
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.
Over 100 large pages of information.
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!
