Lachie & Borris

Borris is a two-and-a-half-year-old kelpie with a big job and an even bigger heart, working alongside Lachie Groves on his farm in Ross. Bred by Lachie’s father-in-law, he comes from proven working lines and was raised in a shearing shed in Campbell Town.

Now a vital part of life on Lachie’s large sheep property in Ross, Borris often works 12-hour days, helping manage 28,000 sheep across paddocks and yards. Despite his age, he’s calm, capable and fiercely reliable – a quiet backbone of the farm.

What sets Borris apart is his sharp mind and strong work ethic. He doesn’t need constant commands, and Lachie can trust him to read the flock and get the job done. He’s a one-man dog: loyal, cheeky, and always keen to please.

When he’s not working, Borris is training with Lachie and his partner, always sharpening his skills. No fuss, no glory, just honest hard work from a young dog who’s truly earned his place.
