Cattle Dog

🧠 Temperament

Whip-smart, intense and endlessly driven. Australian Cattle Dogs bond hard to one person and need work; without it they herd whatever is available, including people and bikes.

🎾 Exercise

Very high — 90+ minutes plus daily training or a dog sport.

✂️ Grooming

Short weather-resistant double coat, easy but sheds seasonally.

🏙️ In an LA apartment

One of the toughest apartment breeds. Only realistic if you are genuinely active and ready to train daily.

Adoption fee $122
