The only thing an Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog loves more than herding is being loyal to its family! Although specifically bred for herding farm animals, this rare offshoot of the Australian Cattle Dog has made a welcoming addition to many family homes over the years.
Characterised by its stumpy tail and blue and red speckled outer coat, the Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog is extremely high-energy, thanks to its herding origin, and requires extremely active owners to match. Despite being herd dogs, they bark only when provoked, are extremely well behaved, and play very gently with their family members – what’s not to love?
This guide will tell you all you need to know about these herding dogs, from their personality to their feeding habits and more!
