What dog breed is Teddy in movie First Dog?

"a miniature Queensland Heeler. ." says original poster. Queensland heeler is slang for austrailian cattle dog, which there are two distinct breeds; the acd and the australian stumpy tailed cattledog. teddy is neither, but a mix, deffinitely including australian cattledog. there is no such things as a "miniature" Queensland heeler.

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.
