Kelpie The Legend Documentary Storm

• Scottish Kelpie Legend

Had been training 'Hopeland Storm' once a week on Quiet Sheep for a year w Simon Leaning, Marionvale Stud, Western Australia. Got opportunity last October to test him out on less dog friendly (crazy) sheep. Yard sheep and run them through the race. Well so I thought. Sheep had other ideas. Storm did OK, cant say as much for his owner.

Pleased to say both dog and owner have improved since then. Storm is large blue/tan 2 yr old male Australian Working Kelpie (with floppy ears). Have been meaning to post this vid for some time.

Gelert by (1845–1894). a loyal traveller and drivers' companion on the in the late 19th century., a legendary dog associated with the village of, Wales. According to the legend, returned from hunting angry that his, Gelert, had gone missing, only to be greeted joyously by the dog at the front door. The King noticed that Gelert had blood around his mouth but went straight to his infant son's room and found his baby missing, the cradle overturned, and more blood. Imagining that Gelert had killed his baby, Llywelyn drew his sword and killed the dog, whose dying yelp was answered by a baby's cry.

Llyelyn lifted the cradle and found his heir under the cradle, along with a dead that had tried to lift and run off with the infant, but had been stopped and killed by Gelert. Overcome with remorse, Llywelyn buried the dog with great ceremony, but never smiled again, plagued by the memory of the Gelert's dying cries.
