All our Australian Working Kelpie puppies bred at the Noonbarra Stud get the very best in individual attention, handling, socialising and training. Important too are diet and health issues such as regular worming, vaccinations including coronavirus and veterinary examination of each pup. We only breed a small number of puppies each year, usually around 15 to 30 pups each year, but sometimes less. (25 in 2007) Over many decades of breeding with three generations of our family, we have bred hundreds of Kelpie pups and this puts us in a unique position that few breeders can lay claim to. Our Noonbarra Kelpie bloodlines are highly regarded throughout Australia and around the World and trace directly back to the great Kalari Basil and Kalari Joker (more than any other bloodline in Australia) and then further back to the very first great Kelpies of the 1800's. All our Kelpie puppies are guaranteed 100% to work. Please book ahead as there is often a waiting period to get one of our Noonbarra Kelpies.

NOONBARRA MICK II X NOONBARRA CASSIE III
Litter Due: 31st January 2008
Expect all red & tans
Noonbarra Mick is a big favourite with us. He is quite a tall
dog but not too heavy and has a very kind, gentle nature. He has always been a very easy dog to
handle. Mick is a good dog in the house and nice to have around. He likes to be
with us and is very compliant, just like his sire, Roy.
He is a strong worker and can push stubborn sheep quite well. But he also has Noonbarra Sarah as his dam, and so can work off and show some lovely style and walk up as well. Sarah is a very special dog in her work and there would be few Kelpies like her anywhere in Australia.
Noonbarra Cassie is a delightful girl and one of our favourite companions. She has a very calm nature and is very laid back. She is nice and friendly and is easy to control and train. She is often kept in as a house dog and is very well behaved and very calm. She likes to have a pat and then lie down at our feet. She is an obedient dog and very smart.

Her work is steady but strong and she is always keen. She
hasn't had any puppies for a few years now and we expect a strong demand for
this litter. Her last litter was to Noonbarra
Dusty III and they were wonderful pups that went on to be terrific adults.
She looked after those pups very well and they are all in great condition, fat
and healthy.

Noonbarra Max X Noonbarra Sarah
Litter Due: 12th February 2008
Expect all red & tans in this litter
This
is a repeat proven litter. We expect pups to be light framed and agile. Not too
tall or heavy boned. We expect very versatile workers with a high degree of
inherited ability. We expect good concentration on stock.
Noonbarra Max needs little introduction. He has been an exceptional breeder over the last few years and produced superb pups to five different bitches. He has a great temperament, loves people, and is very easy to train. He can handle any job in the yards or paddock. Very nice backing ability and great style in the open paddock.
Max has been one of the easiest dogs to handle and train. He is very friendly and a great dog with children. If he wasn’t working he would have made a terrific pet for someone. He has an amazing amount of natural working ability. A lot like Noonbarra Megan, who he is closely related to. Wonderful eye and style in the paddock. Learns quickly, backing well in the yards. Works Cattle and sheep.
Max has terrific conformation & stamina to be able to run all day. As he is not too big, in our breeding program he often helps to bring the size down in some of the females that are a bit too big, so that we get nice medium sized puppies.
Noonbarra Sarah is one of our
highly acclaimed and very experienced workers and breeder. Noonbarra Sarah is important
for a number of reasons. She is one of the few Kelpies these days
that has good distance on stock but can also be in very close and
show all the strength in the world to move any stock. She is a very
cool headed steady worker and because of her ability to quiet down
wild livestock and keep calm, she is a huge asset to our Stud. She is
faithful and quiet and easy going and likes to be close to us.
Noonbarra Sarah has always been a very special Kelpie for us and her breeding is impeccable. She has the strength and the calmness and the right distance on stock. Easy to handle and as keen as mustard to work. A lovely Kelpie.
Noonbarra Sarah is well known to a lot of our customers. Sarah is a calm, quiet dog and is very easy to work with. She is obedient and is a good dog travelling or inside. Her work is very special as she can work very wide and very steady but has plenty of strength to come in and push when needed. In the paddock she can settle down even the wildest sheep and works on a few sheep with lots of the classic old-time style and break out. In the yards she is happy to force and back the sheep. We regard Sarah as one of our best kelpies ever!

KELPIE PUP PRICING
Prices listed here for Kelpie puppies are for 7 to 8 week old pups only.
If you want us to hold a pup longer than the standard 8 weeks for you, we charge $20 per week for each week after 8 weeks to hold a pup. This means if we hold a pup until 10 weeks of age, the pup will cost $40 more. These prices include wormings but exclude any extra Veterinary requirements such as second set of vaccinations at 12 to 14 weeks. After about 12 weeks (3 months) price usually rises dramatically as this is the main period for training and socialising. Prices for Kelpie pups after 3 months will be based on individuals.

UPDATED INFO ON STEPHEN'S TREATMENT
I would like to thank all our friends and customers who have contacted us and wished us well through this trying time. We appreciate all the support. Stephen is in good spirits and very positive. He has been pleasantly surprised by the large number of cards, letters and gifts sent by past Noonbarra customers. They have helped a lot.
Stephen has been through radiation and chemotherapy and two major operations as well as an ileostomy. He came out of hospital at the end of November and now has a slow recovery which doctors say will take 18 months. The doctors are very pleased by his progress so far. He starts back on chemotheraphy in a couple of weeks and that will go through to April/May 2008
He has been handling the chemo better than anyone expected even though he is on very high doses. He has good and bad days. On good days he has periods of reasonable energy, where he can answer phones, do a bit of computer work etc. But on the bad days he is so exhausted by the chemo and the side effects that all he can do is sit. He hasn't done any sheep work or serious dog work since the end of 2006 but he does love to sit and pat the dogs and play with any puppies. The doctors are now giving him an excellent chance of survival.
We have had a lot of good practical support here from the local community and have Erin from the Spinifex Kelpie Stud looking after some of our dogs through this period. We are very grateful to her. John Salter has also come in to feed and water the dogs. This has taken a lot of pressure off us. We have had numerous offers of help from so many people and it has been very heart warming.
At one stage we considered closing the Kelpie Stud and retiring from Kelpies when Stephen got sick but we love working with the dogs too much so have decided to keep going. Stephen gets a great deal of enjoyment being around the dogs and missed them enormously when he was in Sydney.
Thank you to everyone!
