Kelpie Dog Collars & Working Dog Gear Austraila

Kelpies · Working Dogs · Farm Dogs · NSW & QLD

Collars Built for Dogs That Actually Work

Kelpies don't sit still. Their gear shouldn't fall apart when they don't. Waterproof PVC collars handmade in Orange, NSW — riveted, not stitched, built for the paddock, the ute tray, and everything in between.

Most dog collars are built for dogs that spend their day on a couch. A Kelpie is not that dog. They're in the ute before sunrise, through three paddocks by lunch, and still going at dusk — working in heat, dust, mud, creek crossings and whatever else the day throws at them. Their collar needs to handle all of it without falling apart or reeking after a week.

That's why we build ours from waterproof PVC. It doesn't absorb dirt or sweat, doesn't stink, won't rot, and takes about five seconds to wipe clean. The hardware is riveted, not stitched — because stitching fails under load, and out in the paddock you don't want to find that out the hard way.

"Bought two for my kelpies six months ago. Still going strong — covered in red dirt every other day. Wouldn't use anything else."

Why Kelpies Are Hard on Gear

The Australian Kelpie was bred to work hard in tough conditions — mustering sheep and cattle across the kind of country that destroys cheap equipment fast. A working Kelpie can cover 60km in a day. They swim, they dig, they push through scrub, and they do it all again tomorrow.

Standard pet store collars aren't built for this. Nylon absorbs moisture and smells within a week. Stitched collars loosen up under constant stress. Cheap buckles crack in the cold or warp in Queensland summers. You end up replacing them every few months and wondering why you bothered.

A Jacaranda collar is built to stay on a working dog for years, not months. Buy it once and stop thinking about it.

🔩

Riveted, Not Stitched

Stitching frays, absorbs moisture and eventually fails. Every Jacaranda collar is riveted with solid hardware — no weak points, no surprises.

💧

Waterproof PVC

Creek crossings, dam swims, muddy paddocks — wipe it down and it's clean. No rot, no odour buildup, no fading.

💪

~350kg Break Strength

Rated to handle real load. A Kelpie hitting the end of a lead at full pace won't snap it.

Easy to spot in long grass or a dusty yard. High-vis isn't just for the show ring — it's practical when dogs are working in paddocks.

🤲

Handmade to Order

Made by Adam and Sarah in Orange, NSW. Not mass-produced overseas. Every collar gets individual attention before it leaves.

Zero Returns

Since we launched. That's not luck — it's what happens when you build things right the first time.

BEST EVER 10/10!!!

first of all i am a total gear snob! there are few and far companies i truly love and Jacaranda is a huge winner. you cannot substitute a good PVC collar, its so wet this winter, i really needed something that didn't need to be hung up to dry all the time, especially during club days and at sport trials where dogs are running on muddy ovals These collars are soft and flexible unlike other brands of this sort. i also found the sizing very generous. We normally use ruff wear collars which can go upward of $50 each, but you cant beat Jacaranda! under $20 , Handmade in AUS , Waterproof , Soft to the touch , Grippy (my new MUST for walking 3+ dogs together) and i trust these clips not to snap (i ordered custom from a well known CA company and that's how i found out we have good recall! thank you jacaranda , this is the kind of business we need to support, from farmers to city pups these collars are amazing for all <3

These collars are outstanding. The material is heavy-duty but soft enough that it doesn’t irritate any of my dog's skin. The buckle snaps tightly and feels completely secure against hard pulling dogs. I absolutely love the range of colours you can choose from. It has been through mud and water, washes easily, and does not hold odors. Fits all my dogs perfectly according to the size chart. Highly recommend these collars if you’re looking and needing something that’s durable and something that also looks nice! Great quality and bloody affordable!

We were ordering several different items but had some confusion regarding the name of the particular "pink" colour we wanted.
Sarah replied promptly to our emails and supplied pics/names so we could get exactly what we wanted.
Everything arrived quickly and we just love the feel of the PVC. It gives grip but doesn't rub or scratch your hands. Everything wipes clean easily and the colours are perfect.
We highly recommend Jacaranda Collars for quality and service.

Great service, lovely leads and collars. Especially great material if you are using the long leads for recall and the lead sits on the wet ground a lot, the material is lovely and soft to hold too. I am very pleased, love all the bright vibrant colours available.
