I am writing you from france (sorry for my writting) because i am looking for informations about bredders bredding working dogs. Is it still possible  to find working aussie ? In UK? IN France? I don't know much about this dog yet,( i am use to working jack russell that are strong and hardly never sick). Is the aussie also a strong dog? What about the Merle color, i red about eyes problems. Is it a problem that you find more with this color that others ? How aussie can handle warm weathers ? Thank you for all informations
sincerely. A.Sophie.    e.mail : crickhowellsjack@wanadoo.fr

I assume you are talking about the Australian Shepherd.
However if you are refering to the Australian Kelpie then there are lots of working dogs in the uk, in fact farmers are now using these or crosses with the kelpie and the border collie in preference to the pure bred working collie.  I know of a friend with working kelpies imported directly from an Australian working farm (also top trialing kennel) they have 800 sheep and prefer the kelpie or kelpie cross over the collie.
