(continued) ...and should have an evenly developed, muscular body clearly suitable for its working origins. Bred for herding and guard duty, the Australian Cattle Dog as a pet retains its wary disposition, which makes it a good choice for guard dog if properly trained. It does not however, have people aggression. It will get along with other family pets and dogs, which it may try to herd, or with whom the ACD may compete for territorial supremacy. However, strange dogs may bring its defensive nature to the forefront. A highly intelligent dog bred to work, they need regular exercise and directed activities to keep them from becoming bored and destructive. Owners must establish that they are pack leader in order to retain control. © DogDecor.com
