This kind of dog successful growing at mustering and droving with little or no command guidance. On a size they are with medium body, and have variety colors of the coat. Kelpies have been exported throughout the world and are used to muster livestock, primarily sheep, cattle, goats and poultry.
The breed has been separated into two distinct varieties: the show or bench Kelpie and the working Kelpie. The show Kelpie is seen at conformation dog shows in some countries and is selected for appearance rather than working instinct. Working Kelpies are bred for working ability rather than appearance.
The variety of colouration and coat types puts the Kelpie in a select group, as it is not possible to look at an unidentified dog and classify it as a Kelpie. Kelpies referred to as Red Cloud Kelpies have red features with white markings on the face, chest, and feet.
