Meet the breeder

I'm Kim F., the breeder behind Walkabout Australian Kelpies and Rat Terriers located in White City, OR. Our dogs excel in the ring, the paddock and as beloved companions. We are very proud of their accomplishments. Our dogs are family and we take care with each breeding to better the breed. Our goal is to have you love your new puppy as much as we did producing it for you.

Q. & A. with Kim

  • Why did you start breeding?

    It started with the Rat Terriers and blossomed to the Australian Kelpie at a very fast clip. We love the competition and friendships that we've forged.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Rat Terrier puppies include white and chocolate, white and blue fawn, black tan and white, and red white and sable. Australian Kelpie puppies are black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
