Australian Cattle Dogs

The Australian cattle dog is a dog developed starting in the 1840s from multiple breeds, including collies, dalmations, kelpies, and the wild canid, dingoes.https://www.acdca.org/breed-history/ Like their name says, they are cattle herders. They should not be confused with Australian Shepherd Dogs, (also often called Aussies) which were mostly created in America. Australian cattle dogs are sometimes separated by color; people refer to these color variations as if they were breeds though they are not. In this circumstance they are called the blue heeler and the red heeler. There is an Australian preschool kids' show that features them as main characters, called Bluey. It is popular with adults as well. Australian Cattle Dogs are most well known for their unusual color patterns. Unknown mixed breeds of them can often be deciphered to be part ACD because of the spotted pattern striking their bodies, which only a few other breeds have, and from their strong herding drive.
Australian Cattle Dogs and their mixes are popular in some States, though not everyone is hyper-aware of this dog breed in looks nor name the same way that they are for German Shepherds, Siberian Huskies, or Poodles.
