| 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. |
