i dont know if i would recomend an Australian cattle dog, i have one, i love him, but he has had issues since he was a Puppy (i adopted him at 6 years old from a friend who was the second in line to raise him, first people where abusive dicks)- any way he got the dog at around 6 months old and he is a nipper- normal for cattle dogs, but it does become an issue- these dogs are the junk yard dover mans of Australia, they are territorial of their home and owners so they make great guard dogs for families, they are also incredibly smart, they learn tricks and other skills (like not pulling on a lead) very well, but they require a tun of socialization at a young age if you dont want them to be anti social- if you dont give it the impression that all people are good from a young age than it will be hard to socialize him, mine will bite you if you walk in the house, after a few minutes of being in his crate he calms down and will be friendly to our guest. I dont think this dog is for beginners, and im not so sure they would make great apartment dogs either- they are bread with dalmatians and dingos- this means that they can go for a long time, dalmatians need a huge amount of excersize and can keep up a fast pace for hours on end (thats one of the resons they make good circus dogs- yes i did have a friend who had one who could balance on a big wooden ball) any way- this breed would probably be happier as a working dog than any thing else they can be sweet, dont get me wrong, and you can get one as long as you are willing to put lots of time into socialization, care, and excersize good luck! pic related. they also come in blue
