The Australian Cattle Dog, also known as the Blue Heeler or Queensland Heeler, is a breed developed in Australia for herding cattle over long distances and rough terrain. The breed originated in the 19th century when Australian settlers needed a robust and resilient dog to help manage and move their herds. They achieved this by crossing the native Australian Dingo with imported herding breeds like the Collie and the Dalmatian.
One of the most distinctive features of the Australian Cattle Dog is its coat. The breed comes in two main color varieties: blue and red. The blue variety can range from blue mottled to blue speckled, often with black, blue, or tan markings on the head. The red variety is evenly speckled with solid red markings. This weather-resistant coat protects the dog from the elements and is easy to maintain, which is vital for a working dog that spends much of its time outdoors.
