INTERSTATE CUSTOMERS The good news is that we can now get Kelpie puppies once again to Melbourne and most parts of Victoria and NSW as well as Brisbane and Adelaide by various pet transport companies. Prices varies for road transport but often it has been slightly lower than the airlines before Covid, so that's welcome news. It can still be a bit complicated but we have now done quite a few Kelpie puppies since the horrible Covid restricted years and it's been very smooth for the customer and a good experience for the puppies. Keep in mind that all our puppies have extensive crate training and handling prior to being sold. |
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 (no-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.
KELPIE PUPPY PRICING
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 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.

This
is a very nice litter due in January. We are
very pleased to be able to get another
litter by our great sire, Noonbarra Dave. He
has produced so many outstanding puppies for
us in the past. 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.

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!
MORE ON CRATE TRAINING WITH PHOTOS AND SOME CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
All our pups are registered, vaccinated, wormed and microchipped. Puppy 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. You will also be given a special Noonbarra Dog folder with Kelpie information, pictures of your puppy's parents, grandparents, training tips etc.
We want each puppy to be the
best possible match for their lifestyle and situation.
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.
