Düwelkes van de Barge Kelpie breeder in Velen · Germany

Düwelkes van de Barge breeds Australian Kelpies in Velen and is affiliated with the Verband für das Deutsche Hundewesen (VDH) e.V. The enthusiasm for this eager-to-work breed began with a female dog imported from Australia in 2012, which laid the foundation for the breeding program. The focus is on Kelpies as pleasant companions and active sporting dogs. Among other activities, herding work and mantrailing are practiced with the dogs. A daughter of the foundation bitch has been part of the pack since 2020 and is trained with great enthusiasm in agility, mantrailing and ZOS. The breeding goal is healthy, even-tempered and willing-to-work Australian Kelpies. Their original abilities as herding dogs are to be preserved. The dogs should also be suitable for various areas of dog sports, such as obedience, agility, search-and-rescue dog work, dog dancing or scent work.
