Are Australian Cattle Dogs aggressive?
Let’s cut to the chase: Are Australian Cattle Dogs aggressive? Well, it’s not a simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’. These pups, also known as Blue Heelers, are a working breed, through and through. They were bred to herd cattle by nipping at their heels, hence the name. This job requires a dog that’s alert, intelligent, and yes, a bit assertive. But does that mean they’re aggressive? Not necessarily. With proper training and socialization, these dogs can channel their energy positively. They’re fiercely loyal and protective of their family, which can sometimes be mistaken for aggression. So, it’s all about context and upbringing.
