Australian cattle dogs are most commonly found doing what they were bred to do - rounding up sheep and cattle on dusty Australian sheep and cattle stations. However, they can also commonly be found in suburban areas, as house pets.
No ... Australian cattle dogs have all the normal toes and claws without the webbing ... They are just like any other dog.
The Australian Cattle Dog is in the AKC Herding Group.
A cattle dog usually refers to the blue heeler, red heeler and Queensland heeler. It has been specially bred for Australian conditions, for rounding up cattle and helping with mustering. Because it is bred to be a "heeler", it nips at the feet of the cattle to round them up, and so a cattle dog, or blue heeler, that is a family dog often develops the tendency to nip at people's feet to try to round up its "pack". It is not an ideal family dog unless there is both a large backyard and opportunity for it to get plenty of exercise. The blue heeler quickly becomes bored, as it is bred to work.
For some breeds yes. For example, an Australian Cattle Dog is usually seen with a long tail, but there is the Australian Stumpy tail Cattle Dog, which (in my opinion) seems pretty if not exactly similar. Other dog breeds have docked tails. Some breeders/breeds have been bred to have shorter tails.
I named my Australian cattle dog "Foxy" because that's exactly what she looks like.
any dog will get along with an Australian cattle dog as long as they are properly introduced
The use of the Australian Cattle Dog is actually cattling. They were used a lot to cattle sheeps and are sometimes still used to cattle sheeps in Australia.
