Australian Cattle Dog
Height17 - 20
Vocality
The Australian Cattle Dog is an extremely energetic herding breed known for its distinct color and markings. They originated in Australia as a result of many rounds of crossbreeding, and count the Dingo as one of their many ancestors. They are silent workers with incredible endurance, a sharp sense of smell, excellent hearing, and tremendous heat tolerance. They are also extremely protective and loyal dogs, enjoying being a part of the family as much as their Dalmatian ancestors.
As a true herding breed, the Australian Cattle Dog requires a lot of exercise and is best suited for families with an active lifestyle. If they get bored or are not properly exercised, they can become very destructive.
