| What do you get when you combine the best qualities of the Dingo, the blue merle Highland Collie, the black and tan Kelpie and the Dalmatian? An outstanding cattle herding dog and exceptional family companion known as the Australian Cattle Dog! The Australian Cattle Dog was originally developed to heel cattle in the rough Australian outback, and has since gained popularity throughout the world. This remarkably intelligent breed possesses strength, endurance and stamina, and are natural guardians that love children - gladly playing for hours.
