The History of Blue and Red Heelers

The Australian Cattle Dog was created during the 1800s in Australia. Early settlers needed a versatile and intelligent dog to assist them in herding cattle across the extensive and rough terrains of the region.

The initial cattle dogs that were brought from England struggled in the Australian environment. Therefore, the early settlers began cross breeding the early cattle dogs with Dingoes in order to create a tough herding dog.

From then, A Dingo, Collie, Dalmatian, and Black and Tan Kelpie were added.

Australian Cattle Dogs became extremely hardworking, loyal, and protective of the owner.
