Early accounts credit American servicemen stationed in Australia for bringing the Australian Cattle Dog home with them after World War II. The first breeders in America acquired their stock from stop Australian kennels and preserved the breed’s uniformity, intelligence, and trainability.
Australian Cattle Dogs have great integrity and an unshakable devotion to their people.
