:Hallo!
Ich kopiere dir hier mal was hin, was ich so gefunden habe, als ic mich für die beiden Rassen interessierte:
The Australian Cattle Dog personality is often reserved with strangers and even FIERCELY protective when they perceive that their property and/or persons are being threatened. The ACD is intelligent, but can certainly often be described as hard-headed and stubborn. Once an ACD has befriended you, they are a friend for life....but that friendship must often be earned. Australian Cattle Dog are often refered to by their owners as "velcro" or "shadow" dogs...because wherever you go, there they are!!
The Australian Cattle Dog is an EXTREMELY active breed, with mental stimulation being of paramount importance. A bored Cattle Dog is a destructive Cattle Dog !! The Australian Cattle Dog is a social breed that NEEDS to be with "its people". This is NOT a breed to leave chained or penned in the back yard....such isolation will lead to SERIOUS personality problems !! Because the Australian Cattle Dog is an active breed, a firm commitment must be made to exercise. ACDs make excellent running or biking companions although care must be taken not to over exert the young dog. Because of their intelligence, ACDs make WONDERFUL obedience prospects (although their intelligence can actually be a hinderance in this ring also). Australian Cattle Dogs are also known to excell at Dog Sports such as Flyball, Agility and Frisbee competition. The sky is the limit when your companion of choice is an ACD !!
Kelpies are keen, active, intelligent and biddable. Always ready to work, they have notable stamina and endurance. The disposition of the breed should be friendly, alert, but stoical, with a good balance between keenness to work and ability to rest. Kelpies are best suited to a home where there is work to be done -- they thrive on physically and mentally demanding activities.
Soweit ich das mitbekommen habe, sind die Kelpie noch die ursprünglicheren Hunde, sprich die noch weniger entdekcten HUnde. Bei den Cattles gibt es leider auch schon Shwolinien, leider.
Auch würde ich mich jetzt trauen zu behaupten, dass man einem Cattle noch eher die Möglichkeiten beiten kann, ohne Rinder als einem Kelpie, aber BEIDE sollten nie zu einem familienhund ohne wirkliche Aufgabe degradiert werden!!
Liebe Grüße
