The Australian Cattle Dog is often called ACD, or just cattle dog, and these are energetic cattle herders ready to work
all day. In their home land Australia these dogs drive cattle across long distances over rough terrain, and they are
unfazed by angry cows. An individual with strong herding instinct can get the idea to herd anything that moves.
Australian Cattle Dogs are agile,
curious, strong, and intelligent. They
consistently score amongst the ten
most intelligent breeds. They generally
also have a lot of energy, and paired
with bright minds this means they
need something to do. Bring the ACD
along on adventures, jogging, hiking,
or whatever the family is up to.
This is a wonderful breed for herding,
obedience training, or agility, and the
dog bonds closely with the family.
Little grooming is required, and an
occasional bath and brushing is
enough.
Most Australian Cattle Dogs weigh
under 50 pounds, and need either a
medium or a large PlexiDor dog door.
