The Australian Kelpie is a hardworking and active dog that stands about 50 centimetres high and weighs between 16 and 23 kilograms. Originally descended from Scottish collies, the Australian Kelpie is better suited to the heat and dry conditions found in much of its adopted country. Given its heritage, the kelpie is instinctually eager to work with sheep and other pack animals, and it needs quite a bit of exercise. Clever, fun and loving, the Australian Kelpie makes the perfect companion to a human with similar energy levels and love of adventure. They are also good with families and never tire of playing with gentle children.

Your canine family members are very much welcome in South Dakota, one of the United States’ most pet-friendly states. From the outdoor experience of the Braeburn Addition Off-leash Dog Area in Rapid City to the Miner Brewing Co. in Hill City, there’s something to please the tastes of any dog! Truly unique attractions, including Hartford’s 1880 Cowboy Town, allow dogs to accompany their owners on-leash to participate and learn about the history and culture of South Dakota. In addition, dozens of dog parks cater to small and big dogs alike who want to let loose and sniff a few bottoms in the afternoons.
South Dakota has not formally chosen a state dog breed…but its official wild animal is the coyote. Close enough!
The most popular name for a dog in South Dakota is Louie.
Labrador Retrievers are this state’s most beloved breed.
