Australian Cattle Dog
( Added: Fri Sep 06 2002   Hits: 202)

10 out of 10 stars (2 votes)

The Australian cattle dog is a strong, healthy breed that herds cattle by nipping at their heels but without the nonstop barking common to many other herders. Wary by nature, the Australian cattle dog needs early obedience training and social contact with both people and other animals. Without such training it will try to dominate the family "pack." Small children playing and squealing will trigger its herding instinct unless this dog is exposed to such behavior at an early age.
