The Australian Cattle Dog was bred in the mid 1800’s as a working dog that could easily adapt to the often inhospitable Australian environment. Everything about the breed today – temperament, coat, physical structure – reflects this original purpose. They are a courageous, intelligent, and alert dog, and are renowned for their protectiveness and loyalty to their masters and their property. Their devotion and work capabilities are unquestionable.
The Australian Cattle dog is one of the most versatile breeds, as not only are they one of the greatest working dog breeds, they make fantastic pets too.
