Kelpie Dog Collars & Working Dog Gear Australia

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.

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.
310kg Break Strength
Rated to handle real load. A Kelpie hitting the end of a lead at full pace won't snap it.
17 Colours
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.

Great quality, quick delivery.
Thanks heaps! Glad you’re happy with the quality and it got to you quick 🐾
I am super happy and impressed with my recent order! I ordered 2 x 1.5m leads and 2 x 10m long lines... Best of both worlds! Perfect for our around the streets walks and market wanders... But also the option to enjoy some more slack at the beach or bushwalking! So many beautiful colours to pick from and incredibly quick and helpful responses from the team via their Facebook page. 10/10 recommend and will definitely be ordering some more colours in the future! 🩵🐾🩷
Sounds like you’ve got every outing covered, from a wander round the markets to a good sniff out bush! We’re glad we could help on Facebook. You’ll have to let us know which colours you go for next 🩵🐾
Amazing quality and cute colours
So glad you love the colours and how well they’re made! 🩵
This is the second collar we own. This time we are puppy testing it! It’s is great not annoying on his neck or being chewed. Have the whole orange collection and they are just stunning!
Will be buying every size as our pup grows up.
The whole orange collection! Your little fella must look a treat in it 🧡 Glad the collar’s passed the puppy test and he’s happy wearing it. We’ve got his next size covered when he’s ready! 🐾
We absolutely love them! I ordered 4 collars and chains and a ute tie up and we received them within 6 days. They work a charm and look absolutely amazing too might i add!
our crew love them🤩
How good! Bet your crew looks pretty sharp in their new collars 🤩 Glad it all landed nice and quick and the ute tie’s doing the job! 🐾
Very good quality collars. You would spend similar money on Chinese crap at Big W or a pet shop but they’re nowhere near the quality of these collars. Great to see something is still made in Australia. Thank you
Cheers, mate! For that money, you might as well get a collar made right here in Orange that’s built to cop a bit of abuse. Thanks for backing Aussie-made! 🐾
Such great collars!! Perfect for all dogs and such fun colours to suit every dogs personality!
Love the photos! Looks like you picked just the right colours for your crew. Thanks for sharing them with us 🐾
Discovered this company on Facebook, have had two orders, they deliver quickly and are well priced. I love supporting a regional business and these guys are just that. They have a great colour range and their collars and leads are well made. Delivery to rural areas within the week. Highly recommend A+
An A+ made our day! It means a lot that you’ve come back for a second order and chosen to back our little business here in Orange. Glad both orders made it out to you nice and quick 🩵🐾
I found the 80cm leads are way too short. However I have been able to exchange for the 1.5m lead. Thanks to Jacaranda collars for prompt service.
The extra long training lead I ordered is good and the green is a great colour.
We were more than happy to swap the lead and get you sorted with the right length for your little one. Lovely to hear you’re happy with the green training lead too 💜 Thanks again for giving us the opportunity to get the right products lined up for you.
Loved the collar and lead! Currently buying another one, now for my partner and one to keep in my car. Great quality!
Not only are these Collars top shelf, recently their distinct colours, in my case Teal, helped identify my dog who had been missing for over 12 hours. If.you haven't yet bought stuff from Jacaranda Collars, it's your turn, do it!
Mate, I’m so glad you got your dog home safe. Twelve hours is a long wait, and that teal collar really came in handy, hey? Now it’s your turn to shout the dog a treat 😉
The catching lead look a fantastic love the vibrant colours great quality so thankyou very much 😊.
Bought the seatbelt ties. They didn't fit in the polaris buggy plugs but perfect for the ute. Love the colours 🎨
I wish I had found these puppy collars earlier! Finally we can tell them apart! The tiny string collars from the Vet disappeared among the fur. Now we can see what pup is greeting you first every time or attacks your toes. A wonderful soft but sturdy product.
Great service, fast delivery and answered all my pesky questions! Excellent quality leads and collars
I have just moved to the coast where I walk the beach most days with my greyhound! She loves the water but cannot be off leash. This long waterproof leash is absolutely perfect for trotting in the waves!
Lightweight, but not TOO light, great colour too! Thanks so much!
I found jacaranda collars at Dubbo show! Bought 4 items,the BEST collars I have ever had. Soft but durable,keep there colour perfectly,don’t get hard and brittle after a few months of wear and tear!
I seen them again at Nyngan ag expo,a few friends bought some things,nothing but good commmets.
Now my entire working crew (8 kelpies) are sporting jacaranda collars!
We LOVE THEM!!!!
