australian cattle dogs

What’s up Y’all! Just curious if any of your Beats try to latch onto your ankles when they’re trying to play/get your attention, lol. My 7 month girl will literally get behind as you’re walking and legitimately hug/warp her paws around your ankles, HahHa! Once, she almost made my Gf trip. It...

No doubt, Mila is the best running pal ever!!

So I’ve had my rescue ACD for about 5 weeks now. He’s a total sweetie and it’s hard to see why anyone would return him. He was returned by 3 different people before I adopted him which was heartbreaking. So well behaved, doesn’t wreck anything, massive snuggler (he’s a 45 pound lap dog), and...

My acd is absolutely out of his mind bonkers let me tell u. He genuinely kills an animal a day, AT LEAST. It’s spring where we are now, moving into summer weather, and since it started warming up and all the animals are back out, I’ve had gifts daily. He’s older too which blows my mind and...

So I recently got a blue heeler. He's almost 10 months old and has been with me for 3 weeks. So far, his off-leash walk has been incredible. He has grown bolder and will go ahead or fall behind exploring for like 8 meters away from me, but will always respond to a come or wait command. This is...

Our girl (1yr and 3mo) has become increasingly aggressive in the last month or two. We have her on a pretty set schedule where she takes a two-hour walk from 7:00am-9:00am and eats at 9:00am, 2:00pm, and 6:00pm. Between feedings, we throw the ball for her for about ten minutes (or until she lays...

I adopted an Australian Cattle dog a few weeks ago, she’s two years old and the sweetest thing on the planet- to me and my other dog. (My dad brought her home so I wouldn’t get a cat, it’s a long story. But he got an ACD without doing any research) Since we got her she’s been barking at my...

My 5 year old ACD mix (about 50 lbs) just ate one dark chocolate, raspberry filled Ghiradelli chocolate square. Do I bring her to the vet? Make her throw up? Or just watch her for the x hours? Please help! Everything on line is a mixture of all 3 so wanted to hear the /r/ thoughts?

Hi everyone first time posting on Reddit and it wouldn’t allow me to add pictures to the post. I am the proud dog dad to a 9 month old fur covered land shark by the name of Floki. As of his last vet visit he is 23” tall and 56lbs he’s not overweight still has a nice waist line. I was wondering...

Hello all! My girlfriend and I have adopted a Blue Heeler that we found abandoned at my girlfriends farm. She is about 1 years old roughly and we are currently trying to train her. Does anyone have any good tips on training her to do the following: Sit, come, drop/leave it, and stay. She...

Hello. I have a beautiful and rambunctious australian cattle dog (blue heeler). He turns 1yr old Oct 10th this year. Weve had him for 10 months. The problem is he sheds. Ive read acd has a blow out about twice a yr. The problem is he has had a blowout that has lasted about 9mos so far. Is this...

Hello I’m new to this group I rescued my dog about a month ago and she is 35% cattle dog and chow chow. I have 3 kids twins that are 6 and a 5 year old. My 6 year old daughter I’m not sure why, but she growls at her constantly and is always watching her. My daughter will walk by her not touch...

My rescue, Bowie, is ~14-15 months old. According to the DNA test I got he’s about 1/3 ACD, and he’s the light of my life, but he’s also been pushing me to my limits recently. We’ve been working closely with a trainer since he was about 5 months old and have made SO much progress, but I feel...

First off: 1)He's potty trained, doesn't mark, was maybe an inside dog (He knows how to relax on couches easily), doesn't bark, very friendly, neutered, and very loveable. 2)I was thinking that since he's 6 1/2 years old, that he would be more mellow/doesn't need nearly as much exercise, but...

Hi!!! I just brought my 8 week old puppy home yesterday. What are tips and tricks for her to be in the crate overnight? It’s been so long since i have had a puppy this age and I need help. Should the crate be in the room with us? Should we have it far away? Eventually she will sleep in bed...
