was originally bred to work cattle in the rough inland terrain of Australia. They are a "wash and wear" dog overall - the only grooming required is a bath and a good brushing to keep the coat clean and healthy. Their grooming needs are low while their exercise needs are very high. These dogs are not a good dog choice for an apartment dweller or the couch potato. Bred to herd all day, Australian Cattle Dogs have a lot of energy. Female ACD's These dogs need a job and if you don't provide them with one, it may choose to find one on it's own - so be forewarned, and plan accordingly. ACD's do have very high energy levels and extremely active minds. Because of this they do need plenty of exercise and a job to do. The ACD is sometimes called the Red Heeler

ACD's love their owners and especially love to play with children. They thrive on change and new experiences and become easily frustrated at repetition and routine. Blue Heelers Country of origin: Australia More Photos to Enjoy
