Breeders describe Koolies as thinkers, not lap dogs. Grooming Minimal grooming is required. Koolies do shed. Uses and training Koolies are excellent with stock, they can work with cattle or sheep, in yards or paddocks. Their primary use is as a working dog but they also excel at obedience, agility, tracking and endurance work.
Some farmers say they are more valuable than having another man work on the property.
They respond well to gentle firm training. Popularity Koolies are a popular choice among farmers looking for a working dog. Koolies are not yet officially recognised as a breed by the Australian National Kennel Council.
