About Us

Established in 2018 by a group of likeminded individuals, BATWK are a not for profit, impartial organisation aiming to protect the quality of working Kelpies here in the UK.  We wish to promote the breed for the exceptional, versatile stock working dogs that they are and preserve the true stock working lines.

Promoting the health aspect and having a facility to record results of tests alongside pedigree details aims to keep the health and longevity of the breed at the forefront of decisions. 

From the Highlands & Islands of Scotland, the extremes of the Welsh hills, the rugged Yorkshire dales, down through the lowland livestock farms of the midlands and the southern counties, Kelpies are a valued team member throughout Britain.

Our members prove on a daily basis how the Kelpie will adapt to any working environment, working small or large numbers independently and competently. If you would like to see working kelpies in action in the UK, have a look at our Facebook group or YouTube channel.
