It is still a plan, that will have to wait at least 3-5 years, but my plan is to breed Working Kelpies (and perhaps once also my dream breed, Malinois).
Since Rooney is very unique in the breed Kelpie, I have never seen a Kelpie moving on the agility field like he does, he is extraordinary, and this is not only my private opinion, many great trainers and competitors have confirmed it.
Rooney does not have any results in agility yet, so of-course I won't breed him, if he won't achieve anything (but that also depends on me). I will also test him to HD, ED and OCD. And I will test him on sheep of-course, I want to maintain the Kelpie's unique herding instinct and working ability which makes this breed the best herding breed in the world.
My plan is to import a female Working line Kelpie puppy from abroad, who will have the potential to match Rooney perfectly when she grows up. If both of them will be perfectly healthy, and have the necessary working abilities, I will have a litter with them with the intention to keep a Rooney puppy for myself.
So this is the plan (plans can change), I hope that Rooney will continue to improve in the future to live up to my expectations. If you have any questions about this feel free to contact me! :)
