Karmala Merino and Working Kelpie Studs: For Sale

Karmala GlenXKarmala Lyddy, litter due July 24. This is a repeat mating, the last pups were a nice lot; the pups will be born in Sydney so might be handier for some southern folk.
Phone 02 98230643 or Serafino’s mobile 0418223663 for any enquiries.
Lyddy whelped 4 pups on July 23, 1 dark red/tan dog and 2 black/tan dogs, 1 black/tan bitch.

Karmala Lily(R.GlideXKarra.Gift)..see ‘bitches’… has been mated to Whitehead’s Tracker(15-7). This nice red/tan dog belongs to Arthur Crumblin and I used him in preference to Swags because of his calm, easy going nature and his strength on cattle. Tracker has a good cast and has done well in utility and arena trials; Arthur says he is very like Riana Ace his g.g.sire on his dam’s side.
Tracker is byTubbo Boomer (Lowrey’s BossXCapree MistyII) out of Whitehead’s Spice(G.FelixXKoomalah’s SallyII).

Delta whelped to Barru Merlin 15-6-10
3 black/tan bitches
4 black/tan dogs.
These pups should be very classy dogs capable of working sheep or cattle and some will be of stud quality. One dog pup is still available. Merlin has enough strength on cattle, and this blend of bloodlines has produced some outstanding dogs.
At 2 weeks of age these pups were by far the most advanced I’ve had.

Peggysue whelped 8-6-10 to Riana Finch, a nice even litter of 7, all dog pups.
These pups should be very useful, quality pups and I’m looking forward to seeing how they work; they are 75% Riana blood with an emphasis on Riana Quinn and Driftwood Clyde, who were both very influential in the stud. Karrwarra Gift has contributed the outcross component, but as Riana was founded on Karrawarras it should be a nice blend. This litter is very quiet and sensible to handle. Should work sheep or cattle.

Spice has 5 pups to Barru Zac(Barru MerlinXKarrawarra Tess), an impressive young cream dog.
Spice whelped on AnZac day….some coincidence! I hope the pups get appropriate names.
2 red/tan dogs
2 red/tan bitches
1 black/tan bitch
One red/tan bitch pup still available. A very nice lot of pups, extremely friendly and outgoing. Should work sheep or cattle.

FinchXPeg pups at 4 wks...the seven brothers!

Karra. Gift with her four pups delivered by C/S, 21-6-10. An old injury had caused complications. These pups will be her last; hopefully the dog pup will be as relaxed in his work as he is now!

Peggysue and her 2 day old litter by R.Finch, snuggled under an infrared lamp on a freezing Nobby morning. Peg still looks surprised at these seven pups turning up!

The Barru ZacXW.Spice pups at 4 weeks...won't stay still!

Spice is a proven breeder of quality pups. This litter 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.

Bridie is the bitch pup that has been retained and has gone down to Sheree Bell at Nyngan for work, 6-2010. 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

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

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.
