The Australian Cattle Dog requires sufficient physical and "mental" activity and is anything but shy. The Australian Cattle Dog is a working dog breed that is over 100 years old. This four-legged friend is very loyal, courageous, obedient, optimistic and extremely intelligent. His coat should be brushed regularly. He needs a lot of exercise because of his zest for action.
