The dog is also known as the Blue Heeler.

Overview:
Hard-working, intelligent, and loyal—that’s a Blue Heeler in a nutshell.
Historically, these dogs were bred to work on farms as herding dogs and they still thrive when they have a job to do.
Their fierce loyalty makes them even better workers.
Even if you don’t work on a farm, you can put them to work.
They love figuring out puzzles and retrieving toys.
Beyond working, Blue Heelers love their people tremendously and are sometimes known as “shadow dogs.”
They become intensely devoted to their owner and dislike being separated from them.
This is an extremely active breed that will happily become your next running or hiking buddy.
Temperament:
The Australian Cattle Dog is among the most challenging dogs to own and train.
The challenge is incredibly rewarding to those who are firm enough to channel the breed’s instincts productively.
This is a dog that will test the willpower of every family member, particularly during adolescence.
He needs firm, consistent guidance, but also plenty of love and fun.
The Blue Heeler is typically a one-person dog, although he will love and protect all of his family members.
He has a strong desire to be with his people and to help them with whatever they are doing.
Finding him a job is not optional.
He needs a responsibility to feel useful and to work off his abundant energy.
Once he has received the requisite mental and physical stimulation, he is a calm but alert guardian, one that can be trusted implicitly.
This dog can be a little too rough in his play for seniors or very small children, but he is an excellent companion for older children.
He may chase the family cat unless taught better manners from a young age.
He can usually get along with a familiar submissive dog, preferably of the opposite sex.
The Australian Cattle Dog is not recommended for homes with other dominant, strong-willed dogs, however.
He does not get along well with strangers, either.
He is not afraid to bite, but this does not mean he is unstable or vicious.
In the mind of an AuCaDo, the rules are quite simple—everything is his.
That includes the yard, the toys, the food, the truck, and the people.Video Inspired By
