There are two types of Kelpies in Australia. They are Working Kelpies - THE BEST ! Or Bench Kelpies - show dogs. They are both great pets and very loyal to their owners.
My preference is for the Working Kelpie. an interesting site to visit is NSW Yard Dog Association.
Kelpies come in a variety of colours, not just Black and Tan as Many people believe. There are Red and Tan, Blue and Tan (Smokey Grey), Yellow and Cream.
