If you are a fan of the wonderful Australian Cattle Dog (aka Blue Heeler, Red Heeler or Queensland Heeler), researching breeds, or if you just bumped into us by accident..... come in and browse around a spell!!

The Australian Cattle Dog Web site has been in development since the VERY early days of the web. It was, in fact, one of the very first sites devoted to any breed of dog even available on the internet. These pages are a work in constant progress. We hope that you will visit us often to note the changes being made here.

I update this website as often as possible, but sometimes that isn't as often as some people would like. When I am exceptionally busy, my first devotion lies with updating the Rescue Pages and keeping the Breeders that help sponsor this web site happy.

The navigation bars at the left of your screen should assist you in finding your way around the ACD web site. If you are ever "lost", go to the sitemap and it will help you find the page(s) you are looking for! PLEASE be sure to read through the entire site before sending us questions! Part of the reason we have gone to the trouble of constructing and maintaining this site is to answer the questions that come up day-to-day with ACD owners or those considering adopting an ACD.

We welcome suggestions and will try to assist in any way necessary. You can use our handy feedback/question form if you would like to make comments on the site. There is a quicklink on almost every page leading to this form.....just click on the walking paws in the lower left hand corner!

The Australian Cattle Dog Web is pleased to announce an association with several different affiliate programs across the web. Please see the banners on the Affiliates Page for a listing of special banners and "coupon links".

We are now affiliated with Amazon.Com (books, etc), and The Sit Stay GoOut Store (training gear). All products purchased at these sites ONLY when "clicked through" from Cattledog.Com will generate a little bit of money for the continuation of the volumes of information here at this site.
