DVD OF THE NOONBARRA KELPIES
This is the latest edition of the popular
DVD/video of the Kelpies in action from the Noonbarra Kelpie Stud. It is the first updated video
we have put out since 2000. It features footage of our Noonbarra Kelpies dating back about 25
years or so, right up to 2007. All our major sires and brood
bitches are shown. Ideal for Noonbarra customers living interstate or
overseas.
We have gone all out with this edition and it
is a long video, over one and a half hours. We figured it was better
to put too much on than not enough. It should appeal to anyone
interested in seeing working Kelpies to breeders wanting to see some
reference Kelpies.
The video includes
commentary on the dogs as well as showing different aspects of
working on an Australian property. Including Droving work, Backing
and yard work, Kelpies as pets, Mustering, Sheepdog trials, Working
large mobs, Children and Kelpies, Paddock work. It features past
reference dogs, puppies working, famous Noonbarra Kelpies, and dogs
that have been sold overseas.
The Noonbarra Kelpie Stud is a well established
working Stud breeding along their own proven Noonbarra bloodline.
Breeders of State and National Australian Sheepdog Trial Champions
and winners in Yard, Utility, Farm and Arena (3-Sheep) type trials.
The Stud has had starring roles in films and TV as well as doing
exhibitions throughout Australia.
Noonbarra Stud Kelpies have been used in more
than 20 other Stud breeding establishments in Australia and overseas.
They have been used for Cattle, Goat and Sheepwork as well as family
companions, Agility and Obedience training.
Apart from the obvious working scenes we have
added a lot of footage of our Kelpies interacting with strangers, at
the Pet Expo and inside the house. We also have a section on
puppies.
This video is well presented with a
professional music soundtrack and voice over.
Please note: This is not a dog
training DVD. It is a reference tape for the Noonbarra Kelpies and shows their
ability and working conditions.

COMMENTS FROM A FEW PEOPLE WHO HAVE
RECEIVED THE VIDEO.
"I received the tape today!!!!! SUCH FAST DELIVERY !!!!!THANKS..I know
I told you to send it by slow boat buy I AM SO GLAD YOU DIDN'T !!!!! IT IS
WONDERFUL !!! - Mel USA
"Got the video. I LOVE IT. Thanks so very much! - Helen and Noonbarra
Cruiser
"One of my favorite sections was on Noonbarra Gabe, I dog I was
fortunate to capture on my own home videos 9 years ago. What I did not capture
was his development, which is delightfully recorded and shared on the Noonbarra
tape. Additionally, the viewer gets to see Gabe in out takes from the film "No
Worries", where he performs admirably.... Aside from the dog work, the shots of
trials and open spaces and hundreds of sheep and happy pups make this a tape
that can really be enjoyed repeatedly.
In closing, I would urge
everybody who is interested in Kelpies to purchase this tape. Stephen and Mary
have put together an informative, good-looking tape that, while justifiably
promoting their stud, also promotes the Kelpie in general.... I give it 4.5
stars out of 5 Rush out and buy it! " - Bill Davis DVM with Noonbarra Tui
(Written up on Kelpie Internet List)
"Recieved the video and took a
quick look at it--impressive! ...The footage of Dusty on the video is awesome,
and if she has any of her dad's characteristics that would be great! - Dana and
Darla (Noonbarra Scamper)
"Received the video today,
watched it all evening, poetry in motion, fantastic what a joy to watch such
great dogs. I've never seen such young puppies work, 5 month old working a mob
of 500, unreal. A friend called me while I was watching the video he asked what
I was doing I told him I was watching a 5 month old Kelpie working 500 sheep, he
said I've got to see that I told him he was welcome to." - Gary (Britain)
"To me this was the VERY FIRST
time I saw (well trained) Kelpies in action." - Patrick with Noonbarra Keppe in
Belgium
We have thoroughly enjoyed
your stud video. The kids especially like the puppy part! Thanks for all your
hard work. - Denise USA
"We have watched it about five
times and also loaned it to friends. So it won't be very long before we wear it
out. You have some very nice dogs." - Steve and Sharon
Hi, I've just received your video.....and I've already watched it twice...it's
fantastic, I've never seen dogs working in the yard in the way yours do it,
absolutely fantastic! Thanks a lot! -Riccardo Italy.
1990 AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL KELPIE CHAMPIONSHIP
NATIONAL KELPIE FIELD CHAMPIONSHIP
This is a new DVD –
suitable for all regions around the world (Pal format)
This is the first ever DVD release of this past Kelpie Championship. The
video has not been available for more than 10 years. It is very exciting to be
able to see these old Kelpies at work. Many will be found in modern pedigrees.
See the great dog handlers such as Malcolm Peake with his great champion,
Barambogie Chance. Most thought Barambogie Chance would take the 1990 title but
a sheep got his horn caught in the drafting race and the judge would not allow
for it to be released except by the dog forcing. Malcolm decided to free it
anyway and lost points for doing so. Malcolm got 2nd place in this trial but
went on in 1992 to win the National for the 3rd time. He had already won back in
1981 and 1982.
There is also John Gedye with his famous Scoriochre Gunga. Everyone was
disappointed for John. He and Scoriochre Gunga had put up a brilliant first
score and were leading the field going into the final. Unfortunately a lot of
little things went wrong and they scored only 3 points out of a 100 for the
final.
Bill Luff, who is still trialling these days was at the top of his form to
get two Kelpies of his own breeding, Cotway Queen and Cotway Joh into the
National final. There is also Malcolm’s father, Bob Peake running his wonderful
Kelpie, Orvale Brutus. Bob was well known for his loud style of working his dogs
which was in stark contrast to his son, Malcolm. But Bob won many big trials and
always had an excellent team of dogs. Andrew King was not well known at this
time but made a big name for himself in the years following. Here he is running
Kurleigh Stan.
Neil Mc Donald is also here. He was very well known with Kelpies in the
1980’s and early 1990’s. On this DVD he is running Wabba Kelp, a lovely Kelpie
previously owned and trialled by the great triallist, Steve Weyman. We had last
seen her in the 1986 National Kelpie Championship with Steve. Neil obviously put
a lot of work into Kelp as she performed very nicely.
The 1990 Trial had competitors send their dogs out to gather up five sheep
and bring them down to a set of portable stockyards. The casting peg also acted
as a winding peg and they had to bring their sheep around the left side. Getting
the sheep into the yards should have been very easy but many competitors found
the sheep less than willing. Once the five sheep were in the yards the dog went
to another section of the yards and had to work twenty sheep through a drenching
race. The twenty sheep then joined up with the original five. This 25 sheep then
had to be put through a drafting race and the first two and the last three had
to be drafted off. Most competitors thought this was very difficult with these
sheep and lost points.
This new five sheep were then released back into the the field. At this
point most dogs had to be settled down again as they were excited by the forcing
in the close yard work. The experienced, mature dogs tended to do better here.
The first outside paddock obstacle was a Queensland Gap. A few handlers later
said that it was more difficult to get these five sheep going through together
than the usual three used in Arena Trials. The dog had to cover them a little
more and the sheep didn’t turn in as well. Many handlers never got further than
this first obstacle.
The second obstacle was a traditional Australian trial race and by this
stage most dogs were steady again and didn’t encounter too many problems. The
final obstacle was the pen. Only a few Kelpies were able to get through the
entire course in the allotted 15 minute time.
This DVD has now new transitions and titles and voiceover and new cover
etc. This is a must for Kelpie enthusiasts and especially those that want to see
the famous old dogs or the great handlers. But it will also be of special
interest to overseas Kelpie breeders who rarely get the chance to see Australian
dogs and the types of trials we run here. The National Kelpie Championship is
what we call a ‘Utility’ Trial or sometimes a ‘Field’ trial.
DVD is for all regions and is suitable for all DVD players running normal PAL
format such as those in Australia, NZ, Britain, Ireland and most of Europe. In
America and Canada it can be played through any multi format DVD player that
supports PAL format or through any computer that plays DVD’s.

THE 1991 AUSTRALIAN STATE YARD SHEEPDOG
CHAMPIONSHIP - DVD
After many years, this footage of the 1991 classic trial has finally been
released on DVD. Rare footage shows some of the most influential Australian
Working Kelpies of the day in this very exciting and unique Australian sheepdog
trial. Champion Kelpies include Capree Watch, Phils Creek Sam, Chobi Mindy and
Noonbarra Butch as well as some shorter footage of Glenlogie Lucky, Joes Pride,
and many others. See the great dog handlers such as Steve Weyman who completely
dominated the yard and utility trials through the 1980's and into the early
1990's. There is also Chris Stapleton who since his first big win with Capree
Jag at the 1985 Nationals has been one of the most outstanding handlers in
trials. There is also Michael Johnston from the Milburn stud and Jim Luce from
the Coogee Stud.
This DVD video has now been digitalised and has added footage never seen
before and new transitions and titles and voiceover and new cover etc. This is a
must for Kelpie enthusiasts and especially those that want to see the famous old
dogs or the great handlers. But it will also be of special interest to overseas
Kelpie breeders that rarely get the chance to see Australian dogs and the types
of trials we run here.
