Description: There is more to the Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler) than herding cattle. This is a very versatile, agile, and friendly dog. It is an extremely hard worker, very intelligent, courageous and although it may not look the part, a tough little dog! It originated in Australia where Thomas Hall bred a Highland Collie (Welsh Heeler) with the native Australian dingo. His cross produced the cattle dog that so many others before him had tried to invent. Years later, another breed was thrown into the mix. The Dalmatian gave the cattle dog the temperament it needed in order to be around horses and it also contributed the unique “ticking” in its coat.

Above all else, the cattle dog is a working dog. It must possess working ability, be agile, courageous, happy, and intelligent and it must always be prepared to defend its master.
