Kelpie Mcnab Breed Description

They thoroughly enjoy spending time with the family and are loyal, affectionate and playful. The Kelpie Mcnab will return your care with all the love and affection that a truly large heart in a large package can offer. Loyal to a fault, he will form a strong bond with one person, although he will also be friendly with the rest of the family. This dog breed is fun-loving and smart.

This breed is super playful, enjoys running in the yard, and has a tendency to prey drive, as the Mcnab does. Both are known to have high energy levels and enjoy being both physically and mentally stimulated, so extra time for play or for training for your hybrid should be allowed each day too. He is usually not aggressive toward other dogs and is known to love other animals. Like the Australian Kelpie they do not make good guard dogs because they are not territorial. The Kelpie Mcnab also tends to be very devoted to its master and well-mannered.
