Australian Cattle Dog

Originated in the 1800s, the Australians cross bred 3 dogs to get a Dingo type inspired dog called Australian Cattle Dog. This breed is famous for enabling farmers to maintain huge cattle herds. Blue and red became the popular marking colors of the 17 to 20 inch tall dog. Weighing 30 to 60 pounds, the dog is extremely muscular, which gives them great agility and strength. Ranked 10th in Stanley Coren's The Intelligence of Dogs, make Australian Cattle Dogs suitable companions to any active lifestyle.
