A kelpie breeder from the Pilbara in Western Australia has been surprised this week by the huge success of a video she posted on Facebook.

Aticia Grey, from Glenflorrie Station, put up a video of her 13 kelpies running alongside her quad bike and then jumping into a water trough.

The video has been viewed almost 500,000 times so far, and shared more than 6,000 times.

Ms Grey said she was just recording part of everyday life on the station.

"They knew where the trough was because we've done that lap before, so I knew they were going to speed up," she said.

"So I just got the phone out and tried to video it, tried to make it seem like I had them organised and under control, and they just took off down the hill."

Ms Grey was unsure of the speed the dogs were running in the video, but the following day she clocked her fastest dogs at 45km/h.

She said social media was allowing her to connect with dog breeders and customers around Australia, despite her remote location in the Pilbara.

"Through social media and being able to put up videos of them working, I've got orders for pups to send back over to Queensland, South Australia, NSW and WA," she said.
