Koolie Types
Koolies breed true to type, meaning though their size and bone density and colour may vary, they all share the same type, of skeletal structure required for stockwork and life of the land.
As they migrated through out Australia they adapted to meet the needs of their handlers and the demands of the territories & regions they called home. Note:
