If you want to show your Callicoma kelpie, please let me know when you order your puppy as that may influence which puppy I advise is best for you. I will do my best to help you select the best show ring prospect.

To be able to show a dog it must not be desexed, however some shows offer classes for neutered dogs, but not many at this stage as it is a fairly recent ruling. Neutered dogs are shown in a separate class from intact dogs and are not eligible for the title of Australian Champion. I do not agree with that ruling, and would like to see neutered dogs competing against intact dogs in normal classes at all shows, but that is not the way it is.

Callicoma Verdelho AD JD HT ET has won a "Best Neutered in the Working Dog Group award" and Callicoma Antares has won a "Best Neutered in Show award".

If you choose to show your Callicoma kelpie, whether in neutered or standard classes, I will give you as much help as possible (even if you show against me :-) )

In September 2009 we won the "Best Breeders Group" trophy at the NSW Australian Kelpie Club show - for three dogs shown together from the one kennel. The dogs in the group were Billee, Bundy and Trumps.
