AWESOME!!!
We sadly lost our old girl a year ago on the 25th of April 2010 to the ripe old age of 18year & 6 months. But have recently got a new Stumpy Tail pup, which is already learning tricks very quickly.
I personally reckon they are THE BEST breed of dog ever produced. |

I have two cattle dogs, and they are the best companions in the world. ACD's are such a great breed! Very intelligent |

@aeiou99999 Actually, a lot of ACD's do well in the show ring and working lifestock. Again, this is a video of a RESCUE dog that is neither a show dog or a working cattle dog learning to stack. This is not the place for you to vent about working vs. conformation ACDs. |

@aeiou99999 Herding dogs get stacked just like all breeds of dogs when they are being shown. This puppy is actually a rescue puppy that my friend fostered and rehomed with the rest of her litter, I simply wanted to demonstrate teaching stacking to an 8 week old puppy and this puppy was available. So, to answer the question "Why stack a working dog?" the answer is 1) to demonstrate teaching a puppy to stack and 2) why not? The puppy was having a great time. |

Gorgeous pup, but why stack a WORKING DOG? |

Aww. Its tail was wagging the whole time too. I have a Blue Heeler and she'll be six months old this month. She is so smart! I love her to death. |

Yes, it all depends how well you train you pup.;) |

@mattgeb84 A Cattledog will be great for walking and running alongside you with proper training. Dogs should never get run for stretches as would happen with a bicycle ride. Having said that Cattledogs have to be the smartest breed I've had the pleasure of raising. A worhtwhile investment for an active outdoorsy hiker! |

@bbdawn11 actually they are always down at this age and come up when they get just a bit older. This ones ears came up:) |

@mattgeb84 This breed has an extremely strong work ethic and it would be very easy to train it not to do that by simply reinforcing the dog when it is in the correct position. ACDs are very literal and if you show them what you want, and reward that they will easily get it. |

@beizam actually they respond quite well to everyone when properly trained. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with dominance (which isn't a character trait anyway) and has everything to do with humane, respectful and well executed training. |

@Kenshyn22 "Beating" is not a humane or reasonable way to try and get a dog to respond to what you ask. "Training" it to do something else makes much more sense. |

I love cattle dogs with floppy ears, I know that isnt the standard but who cares, they are such awesome smart and graceful dogs! |

My ACD did that for the first year of her life then quit. But it still depends on the dog. If it does bite your bike train it not to. |

im considering getting a blue heeler, but i had one BIG concern if anyone has an answer id appreciate it
im very active outdoors, one of my favorite activities is long bike trips, can i bike ride with a blue heeler or is he going to constantly nip at the bike tires, due to his herding instincts.
will he run along side the bike or will he run straight for the tires which would probably either cause me to fall over or the dog to get run over
can anyone help me with this question |

Well guess what? Then they're gonna get beat. |

ACD's are independent and don't like being scolded, corrected, or having a lot of restrictions placed on them. After they get fed up with it they lash out and try to bite. |
