It takes a special kind of person to be a lover of Australian cattle dogs. These dogs are highly protective, active, and can be a great inside and outside dog. This breed was originally bred to assist cattle farmers in Australia and would unselfishly and unerringly herd the cattle. It was also because of this breeding (or in spite of it) that Australian cattle dogs have the ability to lay extremely low to the ground.
There are many books and online resources that can help you to find the best way to raise your Australian cattle dog. You will need to be physically able to walk your dog every day. They love exercise and you won’t be doing them any favors by being a couch potato and confining it to the indoors.
There are many questions to ask when considering an Australian cattle dog:
Do I want a purebred Australian cattle dog?
Will a shelter animal get me the dog that I want?
Is this a good dog with children?
Is it expensive to raise an Australian cattle dog?
For answers to these and other questions and for more information on raising Australian cattle dogs, please check by this blog on a regular basis.
