Australian Cattle Dogs are ideal family pets because of their independent resolve, innate energy, and high-spirited antics. They were originally bred in Australia for herding cattle. Their other names include Blue Heeler, Red Heeler, and Queensland Heeler. They weigh between 32 and 35 pounds, and their height is between 17 and 20 inches. The litter has between 3 and 5 puppies, and the lifespan is between 11 and 15 years. A short undercoat and a short outer coat compose its dense, straight double coat. People often are all too often unaware that this breed was created as a hybrid between the Bull Terrier, Collie, and Dingo. Thus, its wild tendencies like foraging for scruples and innate resourcefulness are from the Dingo. The Dingo, of course, is an undomesticated wild dog in Australia. Robert Kaleski's vast library of writings about the Australian Cattle Dog is indispensable to understanding and learning about the breed. He was a lifelong breeder that worked with the breed from the age of 16. It's really impossible to dissect which dogs went into this breed because so many were tested in the quest for a perfect dog for the Australian outback. Some people exclude Bull Terrier, and others note that the Collie of the past is not the same as it is today. Since the early Australian immigrants and colonists usually beckoned from Great Britain, they brought landrace dogs suited to their home environments. These herding dogs were not good enough for the Australian outback because of heavy coats and lack of endurance in the hot outback climate. Its coat is a gray, streaky, white, copper coat that looks heavily threaded. It appears almost in a light gray to blue tone in some lights. Timmin's Biters, Hall's Heelers, and Bentley's Dog were all names for unsuccessful experiments and attempts at the ideal Australian outback sheep herding dog. Robert Kaleski eventually developed the Queensland Heeler. It turned out to be the Australian Cattle Dog. He based the breed on the wild Dingo and carefully selected only the ideal puppies. Later on, some breeders began mixing Dingos with the pre-existing purebred Cattle Dog to get it edgier and more rugged. Some felt that the current one was too soft to deal with cattle. Australian Cattle dogs have spawned many clubs like the Australian Cattle Club of America and various websites. They have quick, critical thinking skills and a tenacity to figure out solutions. They're easy to groom, not overly large, and have a medium-sized frame. It's exceedingly agile because of its cattle herding skills. It should not be frail, delicate, fragile or overly large, hefty, and bulky. Athletic and slender are the hallmark traits of this breed. The coat color combines dominant red or black colors with traces of gray, white, and black sections too. The dogs are actually born white, and it's been attributed to Dalmations. Dalmations' affections for horses were thought to be amenable to Australian Cattle Dogs at one point.
