The origin of the Australian Cattle Dog is more complicated. There is an endangered blue heeler in the UK. They drove sheep and cattle on the docks onto the ships by biting the front and rear limbs of livestock. There are many different opinions about the origin of the Australian Cattle Dog, but it is very similar to this short-tailed dog. In the 19th century, an Australian pioneer named Thomas Smithao needed to breed a dog similar to this dog, and at the same time required this dog to be strong and sturdy to overcome the difficulties faced when driving cattle. In the breeding process, he took advantage of the dingo's ability to crawl and quietly catch food, and bred a dog that is very similar to the Australian cattle dog today. This dog is very alert, so training should be strengthened at an early age. The breed is a hybrid of ancestors of many different breeds. Including the dingo, Highland Collie, Dalmatian, Australian Corby, Old English Sheepdog, etc. The most important of these is the dingo. The Australian cattle dog is the creator of the 29-year longevity record of dogs.
