	The Working Kelpie as a Pet
		Kelpies are very adaptable and, given a reasonable set of circumstances and conscientious owners, work out well as pets.
		Another problem in the upbringing of such a dog is the establishment of a pattern of wild extremes of behaviour brought about, firstly by his solitary environment when his family is absent and, secondly, when the family returns, by the encouragement of hysterical "wild house" play with children or unthinking adults.
		Where some varieties of dogs will cope by retreating entirely from the situation, the Kelpie often retaliates by becoming aggressive in his own defence, and obviously a properly managed household where the children's association with their pet is supervised, will avoid many of these problems.
