Australian Kelpie Health, Decoded.

Commonly known as

Australian Kelpie, Kelpie, Aussie Kelpie, Working Kelpie, Stock Kelpie

Australian Kelpies are incredible, but they can carry unique biological risks and silent signs that most owners catch too late. Even in the best-bred dogs, environmental factors can trigger biological predispositions.

We turn unique data into proactive clarity. Discover exactly what matters for your Australian Kelpie’s longevity, and how to spot trends early, and stay ahead of issues before they surface.

Top biological watchlist for Australian Kelpies

Track, learn, and act with confidence. From monthly medication reminders to analysing blood results, Blueprint gives you one trusted platform to manage your dog’s health and support a longer, healthier life.

1

Ocular Health & Vision

Kelpies carry a genetic susceptibility to retinal changes. Monitoring visual confidence and depth perception is critical to tracking long-term eye health before vision is compromised.

2

High-Performance Joint Structure

Their intense work drive places heavy load on hips and ligaments. Monitoring movement patterns helps prevent cartilage wear and micro-tears during high-impact years.

3

Immune-Digestive Function

Kelpies can develop low-grade gut inflammation tied to immune activity. Tracking digestive consistency allows you to catch imbalance early, preserving nutrient absorption and energy

The silent signals of a Australian Kelpie

Track, learn, and act with confidence. From monthly medication reminders to analysing blood results, Blueprint gives you one trusted platform to manage your dog’s health and support a longer, healthier life.

Slight hesitation in dim light or a momentary pause before jumping can be early indicators of retinal change, appearing years before vision loss.

Tiny reductions in the spring in their step or a softer landing after jumps often signal early joint overload, masked by their high drive to work.

Recurring soft stools or mild bloating often indicate early immune-driven gut dysregulation. Tracking these patterns catches issues before full flare-ups.

Kelpies usually bounce back fast. A slow increase in cool-down time after play is a key biological marker of inflammation or joint stress.

Increased reactivity to noise or new hyper-vigilance can reflect early stress-load changes, often missed due to the breed’s naturally intense temperament.

How it works.

STEP 1

Register and set your date

Sign up your pre-desexed puppy with Elita Genetics. We’ll confirm your pet’s eligibility and verify your vet’s details with you. Book an appointment with your vet to discuss the best timing for your dog’s desexing procedure and inform them you’ll be storing their cells with Elita Genetics.

Once you’ve confirmed the desexing date, let us know, and we’ll coordinate directly with your vet to ensure they have all the necessary collection information.

STEP 2

Procedure day

24 hours before surgery, we’ll confirm with you and your vet that everything is ready to go. Elita Genetics will deliver the collection kit to your vet ahead of the procedure. Follow your vet’s instructions for dropping off your pet.

During the procedure, your vet will collect a small fat sample. We’ll arrange secure transport to bring the sample to our lab for processing.
