| 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. Australian Cattle Dogs do very well in the
show ring and in obedience training. They require minimal
grooming - just weekly brushing, occasional bathing and regular
nail care. The Australian Cattle Dog is a high energy dog that
requires plenty of exercise. |

Australian Cattle Dog Breed History:
|
| Australian stockmen needed a tough,
silent herding dog to control wild range cattle. Breeders began
with blue merle Smooth Collies and added a variety of breeds
starting with the native Dingo, then the Australian-developed
Kelpie and finally the Dalmatian, to instill the ability to work
with horses. Type was stabilized by 1903. The breed underwent a
series of names including Queensland Heeler, Blue Heeler,
Australian Heeler and finally Australian Cattle Dog. |
