DOG, blue healer.
Dogs,They are our best mates through thick and thin, they are always by our sides. Alert, intelligent and lively, this breed of dog is happiest when it has a task to do like herding cattle or competing in organised trials. It makes a loyal family pet that looks after the people it loves and may affectionately herd small children. The Blue Heeler was born out of the need for a dog that could herd cattle like no other, and so Australian cattle ranchers got to work creating the perfect canine for the job. It took 60 years of crossbreeding to create the right dog. Breeds with all sorts of talents and abilities were mixed together including the Scottish Collie, the native Dingo and a Dalmatian. The standard was set in 1893 and the Blue Heeler has been bred true ever since. The breed is known for its agility, endurance and loyalty.
