Australian Dogs

Australian Dogs posts cover the breeds developed in Australia, mostly working dogs for sheep and cattle stations. Articles look at the Australian Cattle Dog with its blue or red merle coat, the related Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog, the Australian Shepherd despite its American name, the Australian Kelpie and its working trials, the small Australian Silky Terrier and the Tenterfield Terrier. There are also notes on the dingo as a separate canid that has lived on the continent for thousands of years, on responsible breeders running working trials and on the difference between station bloodlines and show bloodlines.
