Australian Cattle Dog
Also known as the Blue Heeler, the Australian Cattle Dog is a high-energy, intelligent breed. Bred to herd cattle in Australia, these dogs are independent, hard-working, and have a strong desire to work. They are quick learners and very adaptable, but also require lots of physical and mental stimulation. They do best with active families who can provide them with plenty of exercise and a job to do. Australian Cattle Dogs are protective of their families and can be reserved with strangers.
