At Allambie Koolies we have been breeding Koolies since 2006 and have been registered breeders with the Koolie Club of Australia since then!!  as of 2016 our dogs are also registered with the German Coolie World Registry. We are located on a small property  near Malanda North Queensland where we run a small herd of cattle, boer and crossbred goats and dorper sheep and the odd duck or two to train our Koolies on and keep them happy.  Our Koolies are for both work and pleasure, they are at home either in the paddocks working cattle or relaxing around the patio. 

​

When we do have a litter of puppies, they are raised around the house, are well socialised and interact closely with our day to day lives.  Some aspects of 'puppy culture' have been integrated into our daily interactions with our pups to help them develop a better outgoing personality.  They are wormed fortnightly, vet checked at six weeks for any health issues, have received their first vaccination, are microchipped, registered with the Koolie Club of Australia.  

​​ 

In the selection of our dogs, we have concentrated on our dog's work ability, it is extremely important that our dogs show a strong work ethic that is desirable in our work team.  They need good healt

 

Welcome to Allambie Koolies

​

At Allambie Koolies, we have been proudly breeding Koolies since 2006 and have been registered breeders with the Koolie Club of Australia since the very beginning. In 2016, our breeding program was also recognised through registration with the German Coolie World Registry.

​

We are located on a small property near Malanda in North Queensland, where we run a small herd of cattle, Boer and crossbred goats, Dorper sheep, and even a few ducks. These animals not only form part of our everyday farming life but also provide our Koolies with the opportunity to do what they were bred to do. Our dogs are equally at home working livestock in the paddock or relaxing with the family on the patio at the end of the day.

​

Our Puppies

​

When we have a litter, our puppies are raised in our home as part of the family. They are well socialised and experience everyday household life from an early age. We also incorporate aspects of the Puppy Culture program into their daily routine to help develop confident, resilient and outgoing temperaments.

​

Before leaving for their new homes, our puppies are:

• Wormed every two weeks.

• Thoroughly vet checked at six weeks of age.

• Given their first vaccination.

• Microchipped.

• Registered with the Koolie Club of Australia.

Our Breeding Philosophy

​

Our breeding program has always focused on producing healthy, capable, versatile Koolies with excellent working ability. Strong instinct, sound temperament, intelligence, stamina, structure and overall health are all essential qualities we look for in every generation.

​

Koolies are exceptional all-round herding dogs and will happily work cattle, sheep, goats, ducks and other livestock. Beyond the paddock, they also excel in dog sports, service work and active family homes. Their intelligence, trainability and affectionate nature make them wonderful companions. However, they are an energetic working breed and thrive in homes that can provide plenty of physical exercise, mental stimulation and a job to do.

​

Our breeding program incorporates bloodlines from TNT, Hunterslea, Tjukurpa, Sheringa, Brescot, Silhouette, as well as our own carefully developed Allambie lines.

​

DNA Health Testing

​

In 2016 we began comprehensive DNA health testing of our breeding dogs, using the Koolie Club of Australia's recommended laboratory, Orivet, along with Embark in the United States.

​

Copies of our dogs' DNA health results are available on our website. Some dogs have returned a carrier result for certain genetic conditions. A carrier is not affected by the condition and will never develop the disease. When bred responsibly to a DNA-clear partner, carrier dogs cannot produce affected puppies.

​

Where a litter is produced from a carrier parent and a clear parent, approximately half of the puppies may themselves be carriers. For this reason, all such litters are DNA tested before leaving us, or puppies are sold as non-breeding working or companion dogs where appropriate.

​

DNA testing allows us to make informed breeding decisions and continue reducing the incidence of known genetic diseases within the breed. While not every inherited condition currently has a DNA test available, we remain committed to using the best information and technology available to breed healthy Koolies.

​

Our long-term goal is for our breeding program to consist entirely of DNA-clear breeding dogs.

​

Availability

​

We breed selectively and only when there is sufficient demand, generally producing two or three carefully planned litters each year. Occasionally we also have started puppies available.

​

We are committed to every puppy we breed for its entire lifetime. If circumstances ever change and you are unable to keep your Allambie Koolie, we ask that the dog be returned to us. Once assessed, we will ensure they are matched with a suitable new home. From time to time, this also means we have older puppies or adult Koolies available for adoption.

​

Transport

​

We are happy to arrange transport throughout Australia and internationally. We use and highly recommend Dogtainers and can provide quotations and organise travel arrangements for your puppy.

​

Our Dogs

​

Our breeding program has traditionally focused on red short-coated Koolies, which are particularly well suited to the North Queensland climate. More recently, we have also welcomed several outstanding black merles into our team.

​

We are always happy to answer questions about the breed or discuss whether a Koolie is the right fit for your lifestyle.
