Australian Cattle Dogs
Australian Cattle Dogs are highly intelligent and
very, very active. Not for the novice or casual owner, Cattle Dogs require an experienced and involved owner. Cattle Dogs
tend to be wary by nature and require early socialization with both humans and other animals. Extremely courageous and protective,
a Cattle Dog will lay down its life to protect its home and family.
Cattle Dogs are very strong-willed
and will try to dominate other dogs (they can and will dominate weak-willed humans as well). Their intelligence and energy
level require strong leadership and early training on the part of the owner. They also require prodigious amounts of exercise.
Like most dogs, a bored Cattle Dog can and will find ways to entertain itself. Cattle Dogs left to their own devices have
been known to remodel homes, rearrange furniture, turn tables into firewood, etc. Always remember, a tired Cattle Dog is a
good Cattle Dog.

Keeping an ACD Busy:
Cattle Dogs thrive when given something to do. Their "job" can be something as
simple as catching a frisbee or ball or as complicated as formal obedience competitions. The more you give them to learn and
to do, the happier they seem to be. Cattle Dogs excel at agility, flyball, herding, frisbee, obedience, etc. There are even
Cattle Dogs participating in weight pulling, dock diving, Schutzhund, and search and rescue competitions. Some Cattle Dogs
even make great therapy dogs. A Cattle Dog will do whatever you ask it to do. Just make sure that whatever you ask it to do
is safe and is enough to keep your Cattle Dog from becoming bored.
