Australian Cattle Dog

I read on the dog list that other people have created, there are hundreds kind of dogs that state on the list, and I am sure that not all kind of dog have written on that list, because some dogs is the result of mixed breed that currently continue on trial. One of this dogs is Australian Cattle Dog that included on that list.

The Australian Cattle Dog is a medium sized, short coated dog that occurs in two main color forms. It has either brown or black hair distributed fairly evenly through a white coat, which gives the appearance of a red or blue dog. This dog have nicknamed a “Red Heeler” or “Blue Heeler” on the basis of this coloring and its practice of moving reluctant cattle by nipping at their heels.

The character of Australian Cattle Dog are a working, herding dog that isn’t accustomed to living alone or spending its days in a small backyard. They are highly intelligent and full of energy, so they can become bored without a job to do. This boredom can lead to behavior problems and destruction. Australian Cattle Dogs love to be part of the action and they do best with lots of space. They are extremely intelligent, loyal, and alert. They make terrific guard dogs as they are very courageous and trustworthy. Australian Cattle dogs make happy, dependable pets if they are rigorous of strangers. Australian Cattle Dogs have a propensity to be aggressive toward other dogs, and they generally aren’t suited for children. Some Australian Cattle dogs might nip at people’s heels in an attempt to “herd” them. Potential owners of this breed should avoid having the strict working lines of this breed as household pets.
