It does sound like your mom's place would be ideal for the Kelpie. Welcome to PetTalk by the way Have you pictures of your guys you could post?

I agree,,, perhaps an older dog from a shelter might be a good idea.. I know here at the shelter in my home town,, you can bring your dog to meet the perspective adoptee... get them to meet and see how they get along and all...

Best of luck,, and oh,,, you can never spoil your baby too much,,
