Kelpie Dog Ears. They are muscular, with a deep chest and rounded ribs. This dog was named kelpie after the kelpie, a mythological shapeshifting water spirit of celtic folklore.

After further crossbreeding, they developed into the kelpie. Peek in the ears monthly to check and clean for debris or redness. The akc breed standard for collies is a tipped ear with the uppermost quarter folded over.
