Species group: Mixed Breeds

The basics:
RightPet does not advocate the intentional cross-breeding of purebred dogs. But the reality is that most dogs available for adoption at shelters and rescues are mixed breeds. We think it might be helpful to hear from owners of these mixes to see what traits can be found in these dogs who are desperately needing homes.

The pairing between an Australian Kelpie and a Schipperke isn't all that common, but you may occasionally encounter this mix in a rescue.

Appearance / health:
It's impossible to predict the exact traits inherited by a mixed-breed dog. In this case, the appearance of your pet could be very different depending on whether the Kelpie or the Schipperke traits dominate. Either way, expect a lively and agile dog.

Behavior / temperament:
While it's impossible to predict the exact personality of a mixed-breed dog, the Australian Kelpie / Schipperke Mix may be too energetic for the average household. They benefit from life with active owners who can give them something interesting to do. Some individuals may be quite independent.
