AUSTRALIAN STUMPY TAIL CATTLE DOG - Popular Dog Breed

Complete Guide to the Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog

The Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog is a highly energetic, exceptionally rugged, and brilliantly smart herding dog. Distinguishable from the standard Cattle Dog by their naturally bobbed tail and lighter, leggier build, they were bred to drive wild cattle over vast, brutal Australian terrain.

Temperament and Care

The "Stumpy" is an intense, fiercely driven working dog. They are deeply loyal to their handler but possess absolutely boundless energy and a strong instinct to bite at heels. They absolutely must have a job to do, such as herding or advanced agility; without it, they become highly destructive. Their short coat is easy to maintain.
