There are many other dogs sports
you might like to try with your Callicoma kelpie. Some Callicoma kelpies also
trial in endurance, which is where your dog has to run 20km in two
hours. You are allowed to ride a bike :-) ! The dogs are vet checked
before and after the ET and also twice during it. They also have
to complete a short obedience test before and after the ET to show
they are still as willing to work after running 20km as they were
before.
Endurance Tests are currently
only held in Sydney, Brisbane and Grafton. If you wish to do an ET
with your Callicoma kelpie they will not need much physical training
as 20km is not hard for a kelpie, but will probably need to be taught
to run along side your bike.

someone who could get you started.
