About Cat’s reported breed

Australian Cattle Dog

Listed as Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler

The Australian Cattle Dog is a medium-sized herding breed that originated in Australia. The AKC describes the breed as loyal, intelligent and tenacious, and VCA notes it often seeks out work or activity. It tends to suit active homes with structure, and it has limited tolerance for time alone. VCA lists hearing loss, joint malformation in the hips and elbows, and inherited conditions of the eye among its inherited health risks.
