About the Registry – North American Working Australian Kelpie Registry

The Registry

The North American Australian Kelpie Registry, aka as the Kelpie Registry, was established in 1991.

The Registry urges breeders and owners of the Working Australian Kelpie to maintain breed integrity by preserving the natural working (herding) ability, purpose, conformation, temperament and overall good health of the Working Australian Kelpie.
