Karmala Lyddy has produced a nice litter to Milburn King(Riana GlideXCapree Lara).
These pups should work sheep or cattle. King is nice young dog out of the very good old bitch C.Lara who carries a lot of Watch blood; he was bred at Oakbank and has been working cattle for David Hart, who recently traded him for a huge Brahman bull!
The fawn dog pup is a calm little fellow.

Spice is a proven breeder of quality pups. This will most likely be her last litter and is an attempt to preserve some of the famous old Rockybar blood. Grandparents on both sides of these parents are Rockybar bitches.
Benny is a big classy red/tan dog with brown eyes who is strong on cattle. He is by Koomalah’s Ted; his litter sister is also a very good bitch.

Spice whelped on Oct.13 and has 5 nice bitch pups.
Bridie is the bitch pup that has been retained. Her sister Brandi is owned by Beck Boon at Leyburn; the choice of livestock to work was too much for Brandi and she started very early!

Karmala Bridie(Glendon BennyXW.Spice) was all confidence until an old ewe got a bit aggressive. These photos were taken only a few metres apart,in the LH pic the grass has been watered

Karmala Brandi( Glendon BennyXW.Spice) started working at 7 weeks.

Brandi has progressed to cattle work!

After unsuccessfully hunting around all over for a good RianaX dog to mate Delta to I decided to mate her to Benny. Her litter to K.Glen look promising but need more time for assessment as they’re just starting to work.
Most clients require dogs that will work both sheep and cattle, and I am trying to get a little more calm strength.
Delta whelped on Nov.5, 6 pups
2 fawn/tan bitches
1 blue bitch
1 red/tan/white bitch
1 black/tan dog
1 red/tan dog

The little odd girl out has already found a good home. I’m sure she wouldn’t have lasted long if born years ago into a ‘famous’ stud! The old Kelpie breeders sometimes used a border collie with a very good cast to improve that trait in their kelpies and so these pups still pop up occasionally.

Three nice pups by Glendon Benny from Riana DeltaD, Bender, Benz and Blue Velvet. Benz is available, should make a nice sheepdog. He's a lovely pup and very responsive, possibly a bit sensitive for some handlers.
