If your dog is a working cattle dog, it would require a high performance dog food with higher levels of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. For a working dog that is VERY active everyday, look for a protein level of 25-40% ( it's unusual for a dog to need more than 30% protein), and 18-20% fat. A named source of meat (Beef, Chicken, Turkey, etc.) should be the first ingredient listed on the package.
If your dog is a house pet that gets daily exercise, but doesn't have the extreme nutritional needs of a working cattle dog, then unused protein would be converted to fat by the body. As a general rule, an adult dog that is moderately active requires a diet that's 18-22% protein, and 10-15% fat.

Where do blue heelers get their name?
Blue heelers are short, silver colored dogs from Australia. The word "blue" comes from their coloring, which tends to be a silverish that can look blue in some lights. The term "heeler" is referring to a class of herding dog breeds that are short, like the blue heeler. Heelers usually herd cattle, and they do so by nipping at the cow's heels. They re bred to be short so that when the cow kicks at them, the cow's feet will fly over the dog's head.
