Red and blue cattle dogs will herd anything {inluding you children} but in a working environment they herd cattle.As the name heeler suggests they are apt to bite the heels of cattle and can be quite hard in their delivery often drawing blood;so not recommended for use on dairy herds or stud stock.Strangely,here in Australia we only really refer to blue cattle dogs as "blue heelers" a name which has also passed on to refer to members of the police force
