Australian cattle dogs are suited to any climate. They shed once or twice yearly. Weekly brushing is advised to keep the coat healthy. History: The Australian cattle dog was a true adventure in creation. The breed as we know them today is the culmination of much experimentation to create the ideal dog for herding fractious beef cattle in Australia.

The best Australian Cattle Dogs are versatile working dogs, capable of learning a great deal. But they have an independent mind of their own and are not pushovers to raise and train. They can be manipulative, and many are obstinate and dominant (they want to be the boss) and will make you prove that you can make them do things.

As their name suggests, Australian Cattle dogs were developed in Australia in the late 19th century. They were created by settlers and ranchers who used the dog breed to herd their cattle, and other native livestock, using bites and nips. This nipping at the heels gives these dogs their other name, the Blue Heeler or Red Heeler.

4. They are medium-sized dogs. Australian cattle dogs are grouped as medium-sized dogs, and the female heelers are around 17-19 inches tall while the males are between 18-20 inches. Their body length is greater than their height, with a ratio of 9:10. When fully grown, they weigh between 35-50 pounds.

No. The Australian Cattle Dog is a one-family breed and a very sharp watchdog. Toward strangers, Cattle Dogs are reserved and may be suspicious, which can lead to excessive barking and threatening behaviors. Many Australian Cattle Dogs have protective instincts, without actual protection training they are not effective protectors.

Australian Cattle Dogs have been successful in a range of dog sports including weight pulling, flyball and schutzhund. The breed is particularly suited to activities that a dog can share with its owner such as canicross, disc dog, and skijoring or bikejoring.
