  • Not real sure about the tail thing.  Recently on a championship US dog show on TV, the heeler I saw there had a tail, but the vet told us that some are just born without a tail, just a nub like Nerak.

  • Actually, Australian Cattle Dogs are born with their tails intact. If it wasn't born with a tail, it isn't an ACD, but an Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog, the ACD's cousin. You can look it up on Wikipedia.

  • lol the guys growl is a little creepy but the puppy is adorable. i love ACDs

  • @BlackbirdJon normally when they are just born you dock them...where they dont have a tail

  • Don't you know cats don't like be hearded? Hahaha.

  • aww hes a cute little guy.. looks like he has plenty of room to grow :)

  • Yes. The stumpies are a Dingo/Smithfield collie cross born without tails which preceded the ACD which naturally have tails. I don't believe in docking either.

  • It looks like Whiskey is holding her own against the baby! My Cattle Dog Teo likes to herd the cats too. It is totally safe as long as I keep the cats' nails clipped. They've grown to like playtime and even nap together now.

  • It was done in the US because the ranchers who had them thought it would keep them from getting their tails caught in fences, grabbed by livestock, etc. After a while, people who had them for pets started doing it because they thought it was supposed to be done. Most people are learning that it does the dogs a disadvantage now though and it's not as common.
