Dog Breeds - Australian Cattle Dog |
 |
The Australian Cattle Dog is known by many different names including: Queensland Heeler, Blue Heeler, and Australian Heeler. Bred in Australia, the Australian Cattle dog is a mix of the blue speckled collie and the wild Australian dingo with a couple of other breeds added in later. The result of this union is a superior herder with great physical endurance and a strong determination to work. They are often referred to as “Heeler’s”, because they nip at the heels of the livestock they are herding. This breed comes in two recognized AKC colors; blue and red, and is often speckled. It’s high intelligence level paired with it’s hardworking nature causes the Australian Cattle Dog to bore very easily. When bored they often resort to destructive behavior. To avoid behavioural problems, The Australian Shepherd requires a lot of attention and should not be left alone for long periods of time as they crave action and attention.

PetCare has been fantastic. When Tasha was diagnosed with cancer, it gave me the ability to have her treated with much less concern over the finances. It allows for a much less selfish decision and allowed me to do the right thing for her without thinking about the money. Thank you for the quick way you handled it too. At a time of stress, you made that easy. She lived over a year after her diagnosis and almost all of that was with high life quality thanks to your help. Whoever says pet insurance is not worth it has a lot to learn about PetCare and PetCare Insurance. Claim Submitted: $4237.71 Claim Paid: $2500.00 (Max for QCIC policy) |
