About the Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog

The Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog is a naturally bobtailed, medium-sized herding breed developed in Australia for driving cattle over long distances in harsh conditions. Descended from European herding dogs crossed with the Australian Dingo, it is an older relative of the Australian Cattle Dog but is distinguished by its longer legs, more squared build, and exclusively natural taillessness. Renowned for its stamina, intelligence, and strong work ethic, it is a loyal but reserved and independent companion.
