LOL... two cattle dogs are foolish... LOL Pictures are at the breeders, the two sisters Tika (47.5lb) and Kailey (48lb) are ours... The whitish one is Bailey the Dad (56lb) and Uluru (45lb) with the big eye patches is the mom..

Australian Cattle Dogs, in this case Blue Heelers..
Blue Merle Scottish Collie X Dingo
produced
Hall's Heelers
Ancestors of the Australian Cattle Dog
Hall's Heelers X Dalmatian, White Bull Terrier, and Kelpie or Black and Tan Smooth Haired Collie are likely to have given rise to the Australian Cattle Dog.

Early Australian settlers needed to be able to control large herds of cattle that grazed on vast unfenced properties and bushland. They needed a dog that could help with mustering and moving wild cattle. It had to be strong, with great stamina, and be able to bite.


They go for ever... are pound for pound relentlessly strong.. and bite ? That's an understatement...

Together they are heavier than your doggie ... but yours is about the right size for them to play with :O) The breeders have a big Bull something (175lb) that is Tika's favourite playmate when she visits...
