Breeders' Directory
The Directory was established by the accredited Breeders of the day who co-operate to advertise and provide many of this Council's services. The aim of the Breeders listed is to produce a continuity of dogs which possess a high degree of natural ability and which are easily trained and versatile. To enable them to do so they need the co-operation of the buyer generally to supply a report on the dogs' progress from time to time. Please remember that unless you report one way or another the breeder has no way of knowing what the overall result of his breeding program has been.

Breeders' Directory Listings
Any WKC breeder of genuine and accredited working strain Kelpies may apply for a listing. The Breeder must make special application to the Board, be proposed and seconded by two Governing Members, hold a registered prefix, submit a detailed list of the dogs and their pedigrees, register his dogs with WKC and be prepared to have his stock inspected at work in the paddock at least. Breeders, on acceptance, are listed in a Provisional section of the list until they are fully established and in a position to accept the added responsibilities expected of fully listed breeders. The Council is anxious to encourage new breeders and every effort is made to assist intending breeders. Email us for fuller information at admin@wkc.org.au

The continuing success of this service depends very largely on the quality of the dogs sold through this Directory. Before any of the breeders listed were accepted they had to satisfy a number of conditions set down by the Board, designed to ensure that the fewer buyers possible would be disappointed. Very occasionally a dog from even the most carefully selected bloodlines will be a failure at work, but unless the individual breeder clearly states otherwise, his stock is guaranteed. A refund or replacement can usually be obtained subject to the return of the original purchase in good condition, together with reasonable assurance that it has been given proper care, nutrition and opportunity. The only way we can ensure that the dogs sold through this directory remain of high quality is by hearing from the people who buy them. The receipt of reports of pups sold is of the utmost value to the Breeder and his Council in their efforts to safeguard your investment. Through this directory is compiled with all possible care, the Council cannot, of course, accept direct responsibility for the dogs bought through it; nevertheless it will always work within its powers in looking after the interests of buyers and sellers alike. Disclaimer. Because of the obvious impossibility of ensuring that the advertisements in the News Bulletins comply with the Trade Practice Act 1974. The WKC accepts no responsibility for statements or opinions expressed by its breeders.
