Australian Cattle Dog – William

We have a 4 year old female Blue Heeler on our property for the past six months. Unfortunately she seems to be finding local animals. A few days ago she attacked an Eastern Brown snake and was fortunately the victor. However we see this as a potential fatal situation, so we would like to rehome her. She is a sweet dog but is a hunter which increases the risk on our Adelaide Hills property. Prior to us, she was a show dog and has had two litters. Please DM if you are interested in this great dog. This beautiful four-year-old Blue Heeler is a loyal and sweet companion currently looking for a safer environment better suited to her natural instincts. While she has a wonderful temperament with people, her strong hunting drive has led her to pursue local wildlife, including a recent dangerous encounter with an Eastern Brown snake. Living in the Adelaide Hills presents too many risks for a dog with such a brave and protective nature, so we are seeking a new home where she can be kept safe from these environmental hazards. Before joining us, she was a successful show dog and an excellent mother to two litters, reflecting her high quality and balanced character. She is a truly great dog who deserves a dedicated owner who understands the specific needs of the Cattle Dog breed. Her intelligence and devotion make her a fantastic partner for the right person. If you can provide a secure and loving home for this spirited female, she will undoubtedly become a cherished member of your family. Please reach out via direct message if you are interested in learning more about her or arranging a time to meet.

Australian Cattle Dog – Wondai

Trying to sell this beautiful baby boy, named Rusty. He is only 8 months old, he is a red heeler. Loves his food, will eat anything. He is microchipped, and only had one lot of needles. Has had worming tables. Loves to play, he has been with other dogs all his life, bit barky with new things, but after a while will clam down. He is a bit of a jumper. Loves people, kids and babies. Rusty is a vibrant and affectionate eight-month-old Red Heeler who is looking for a dedicated new family to call his own. This handsome young boy has a hearty appetite and a zest for life, making him a joy to have around. He has grown up surrounded by other dogs, which has helped him develop a social and playful nature. While he can be a bit vocal when encountering new experiences, he quickly settles down once he feels comfortable. Like many young Heelers, he is quite enthusiastic and has a habit of jumping up to show his excitement, but his love for people, including children and babies, is truly heartwarming. Rusty is microchipped and has commenced his initial health treatments, including his first set of vaccinations and regular worming tablets. He would thrive in an active household where he can receive the exercise and guidance he needs to grow into a well-mannered adult. His loyal and friendly temperament makes him a wonderful candidate for someone looking for a devoted companion. If you have the time and love to give this spirited young Red Heeler, Rusty is ready to bring plenty of energy and affection to your home.

Australian Cattle Dog – South Burnett

Blue cattle dog male, very energetic and very clingy. Has had one on one right from a pup . Is use to a female command but I’m sure with the right person and patients he’ll be good for anyone. Has grown up with cats and has had a few play dates with other dogs. He has never attacked another dog. Very obedient and loves people but is a little wary at first if he’s never met you. He’s only ever growled at someone twice and that was when I took him camping but calmed down when he realised they weren’t a threat. Loves travelling. He’s 1year and 10months currently. I love my boy and this kills me having to make this decision but it’s better for him.

Grooming

The Australian Cattle Dog, with its weather-resistant double coat, demands a moderate level of grooming to maintain its health and appearance.

Origins

As the name implies, ACDs hail from Australia. The initial cattle dogs in Australia were imports of a breed called Smithfield.

Unfortunately, these dogs couldn’t endure the hot temperatures or the rugged terrain. They also struggled with the long distances they faced. Consequently, herders and cattle owners embarked on a long trial process of breeding to develop the perfect herding dog.

Smithfields were crossbred with Dingoes, an untamed breed brought to Australia by its earliest human inhabitants. Other breeds used in the crossbreeding included the Collie, Bull Terrier, and the Black and Tan Kelpie.

George Elliott of Queensland contributed significantly to the ACD’s development by crossbreeding Dingoes and Collies, then selling the puppies to herders. The result was a dog that nearly became the perfect Aussie herding dog.

However, the true herding dog emerged when Dalmatians were bred with a few of Elliott’s ACDs. This outcross can be credited to two brothers, Jack and Harry Bagust.

The Dalmatian was chosen for its sense of protection, loyalty, and ease with horses. Combined with the initial ACD’s working capability, this mix produced the Australian Cattle Dog we recognize today.

Are Australian Cattle Dogs Family-Friendly?

They can make good family pets but fare better in families where they’re raised with kids.

Common Health Issues & Considerations

Australian Cattle Dogs may suffer from:

Progressive retinal atrophy (PRA)

Hip dysplasia

Deafness

Osteochondritis dissecans

Nature / Temperament

They exhibit deep loyalty to their owners and can be very protective. This makes them excellent watchdogs.

Their protective nature should be managed with proper socialization to ensure they don’t become overly suspicious or aggressive towards strangers.

Suitable Environment

While they can adapt to various living situations, Australian Cattle Dogs often thrive in rural or suburban settings where they have more space to expend their energy.

Other Considerations

● These dogs have many aliases: Blue Heelers, Red Heelers, or Queensland Heelers.

● They earned the name “heeler” from their act of herding cattle by nipping at their heels.

● Australian Heelers are made for the outdoors. Due to their association with Dingoes, they can run for long distances.

● Their coats can either be mottled or speckled. Mottled coats have dark spots on a light background, while speckled coats are the inverse.

● They possess strong herding instincts and should be kept busy to prevent destructive behavior.

How can I take good care of my Australian Cattle Dog?

Nutrition

Owners of Blue Heelers should feed their dogs at least twice a day. As very active dogs, their diet should meet their nutritional requirements.

Choose a nutrient-rich brand of dog food tailored for medium-sized dogs, avoiding fillers like cornmeal or soy. You can make your dog work for their food, keeping them busy while providing stimulation.

Always ensure they have access to clean, fresh water.

Grooming

Australian Cattle Dogs have double coats with a dense undercoat and a short, hard outer coat.

Their coats are all-weather, repelling water and dirt, making them low maintenance. Brush their coats once a week under normal circumstances.

However, they shed heavily twice a year, requiring more frequent brushing during these periods.

Exercise

Owners should engage their dogs in interactive games, ensuring ACDs use their energy in meaningful ways. Examples of games include hide and seek, catch, and tug of war.

Alternatively, take them for long walks. While other breeds might be content with short walks, AuCaDos prefer long walks once or twice a day.

Training

To train Australian Cattle Dogs, be fair, consistent, and use positive rewards. These dogs are highly intelligent and sometimes stubborn. Proper corrections are necessary to avoid future problems.
