The Winona Kelpie was first registered as a stud in 1974 and has rapidly grown into one of the largest and most successful breeders of working dogs in the world.   

Winona Kelpies have been selectively bred over the decades, from old bloodlines for their intelligence, stock handling characteristics and their force. They are used extensively by stockmen not only in Australia but are also recognised for their qualities internationally. 

Winona Kelpies are sold and are working stock in all states of Australia and have been exported to countries such as Holland, Norway, Chile, USA, Canada and Mexico. Although the Kelpie has been bred for over 130 years for working sheep, the versatility of the Winona dogs can be seen in the diversity of stock they are working. Currently these are deer, pigs, cattle as well as sheep  in many countries the world over. 


Kelpie pups are always available and occasionally older started  dogs are also available - contact Winona for details. Export to all countries can be arranged using accredited air transport carriers.
