Cattle Dog!!!!

New photos of "Kain".. My red Australian Cattle Dog. He certainly is a Velcro dog!! His fur grew back right away!! You may remember my last post about shaving him. No issues shaving a double coated dog that's for sure!!

He's a pretty boy!

He looks like a dingo! (makes since). I like him with his buzzcut better, but he's still cute with longer hair.

<3 Cattledogs I have a (blue) cattle dog / lab mix that challenges my brainpower daily, but I absolutely love him, and cattle dogs in general. Kain is absolutely beautiful

Oh yes they live to challenge you! Kain is very well behaved since I got him as an 8 week old pup and worked with him from day 1. The only thing he has trouble with is "stay".. Only because he simply is too hyper to stay anywhere unless there's a treat involved lol!

He's a pretty good disc dog. He can catch them on the fly if they are thrown right. I ended up ordering him an actual disc-dog frisbee online a couple years ago since the cheap ones from the stores are too hard and have too much of a lip which don't fly right, and they can damage the mouth. He will play fetch with absolutely anything that can be thrown until he's so wore out he can't run anymore, and he loves tug-of-war with his ropes and rings!

They are awesome dogs!

The only things people need to be aware of before getting one is their incredibly high energy, high intelligence, and their nipping behavior. They were bred to nip. They nip while playing and must be taught that it's not appropriate to nip people or children. They will also chase and try to herd anything! Including children, other animals, and cars.

And LOOK!! You just have to love how cute they are as babies!!!



Don't you just wanna squeeze him!?!

Absolutely. DJ doesn't get tired, he gets bored. He will do absolutely anything for a treat. He can't catch things to save his life, because he tries to use his feet like hands.. weirdo. If he could properly catch a ball, he'd be a boss at flyball. I think he'd be great at agility too. SO bouncy and springy and quick. I've been working with him to herd the chickens and ducks into their coop at night, and he's getting it down pretty well - natural instincts are great to work with I got him when he was a year old, so I've had to work some bad behaviors out of him, but overall he is a good dog, just very very high energy. They are ADORABLE as puppies I have photos of DJ as a pup, and he was mostly white with some black speckling, and as he's gotten older, he's become more and more black, from the lab mix in him.

Did you know the purebreds are born white and get their color a couple weeks later? Because when they were originally created the Dalmatian was one of the breeds used so they retained that trait. I hear that the reds are always a tad smaller and leaner with a slightly narrower head than the blues because they retained more of the wild dingo look as well.

I had no idea, that's very interesting, and makes sense! He's much darker now than he used to be:







They are definitely a lot of work, but I've had family with awesome purebred heelers, and I love my mix. Great dogs if you can manage them properly
