Australian Cattle Dog (Queensland Heeler) Breeders

This breed is also known as the Blue Heeler, Queensland Heeler, Hall's Heeler & the American Cattle Dog.  These dogs herd livestock by nipping at their legs or “heels”.  The versatile & fearless Australian Cattle Dog is the result of 6 decades of cross breeding.  Some of the dogs that were bred to get this highly intelligent dog include the Red Bobtail, Scotland's Blue Merle Collie and the Dingo.  Wary by nature, these dogs must be introduced to other animals and people early in their development.  They are highly intelligent & very alert dogs.  This breed weighs 35 to 45 lbs. & stands 17-20" at the shoulders.  Contact the dog breeders below for your next family friend.
