It's time to celebrate because we're spotlighting the Australian Cattle Dog as our Breed of the Day today on our Facebook page, Instagram stories, and website! We publish a new breed each day to educate our followers to make informed decisions when choosing a dog while providing the history and hard work that our parent clubs do to preserve their breed. Celebrate with us by sharing what you love about your Australian Cattle Dog!

Since everyone is showing their art... Last spring I painted these pictures of my two dogs Melody and Mira. ♥️

First time drawing them without a reference :)
I recently got a new sketchbook (300 pages) and I’m thinking about doing something like draw dog breeds every day.
Out of all the dog breeds, I draw the CC the most (sighthounds being second) I just wanna gush about how fun it is to draw them.
CC are goofy and crazy but can be graceful and beautiful, they’re athletic and agile, sweet and cuddly, they are such an amazing breed and I wish whenever I told people about them they would see them more as “Ugly” or “Why is naked?”
Sorry about that
If anyone wants to share some CC art PLEASE do. I don’t care if it’s a stick figure or a blob labeled as a dog, I just want to see more artwork of them.

I took desensitizing my now 7 month old puppy to things very seriously because i heard this breed is prone to anxiety problems. He does fine with extremely loud noises,grooming, other dogs, babies/children, strangers, cats(working progress lmao) we also live in a high traffic area with lots of cars and commerce . And he’s completely unbothered, however. I dont drive and live in a very accessible city so i overlooked car rides.

He will shake and cry and refuse treats. He has no negative experience with cars? When we brought him home first he literally slept for 7 hours straight in the car(photo is him in the car 3 hours in), but now even entering the car makes him act very scared. I think he may be getting motion sickness. I tried giving him treats in the car but he shows zero interest his whole shakes violently i’ve never seen him act like this with anything else and i’m a little lost on what to do

Does anyone have any tips to make car rides better for him? I do live in a walkable city and 3 minutes away from a vet clinic, honestly he rarely needs to be in the car . But id like him to at least not be scared of it if theres ever an emergency

You can sit next to her if you want, but you're NOT allowed to talk.

My daughter made me a card for my birthday featuring Effie. She's as talented as Effie is cute.😍
