The Australian Kelpie, or simply Kelpie, is an Australian sheep dog successful at mustering and droving with little or no guidance. It is a medium-sized dog and comes in a variety of colours. The Kelpie has been exported throughout the world and is used to muster livestock, primarily sheep, cattle and goats. By 1990, Kelpies have been trained as scent dogs with good success rates. Kelpies are a popular choice and used extensively by the Western Australian State Emergency Service’s (SES) Canine Unit to assist Police with search and rescue. In May 2019 SES Search Dog Jackson (an 18 month old Black and Tan Kelpie) made news headlines when he located missing person Hazel Henry on his first ever search. An extensive 30 hour search had failed to locate Mrs Henry, at which point search dogs were called in. Fresh out of training, Jackson located Mrs Henry alive within 45 minutes of being deployed.
