Breed Information

At first glance the Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog resembles its longer tailed cousin but the Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog has a squarer build than the Australian Cattle Dog who is a little longer in the body in relation to its height at the shoulder. Neither does the blue Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog have tan markings like the Australian Cattle Dog. Of course the most obvious difference is the tail. They are not docked. The pups are born with tiny stumpy tails, which according to the standard may not exceed four inches when fully grown. The Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog is believed to be the first pure bred to be developed in Australia. The dog is a valuable all-rounder and one of the best working dogs ever produced.

The Stumpy possesses a natural aptitude in the working and control of cattle, with a loyal, courageous and devoted disposition. The Stumpy is ever alert, watchful and obedient, affectionate and responsive to its owner, but reserved towards strangers. It is essential to begin obedience training and socialization at an early age. Being intelligent and eager-to-please, the Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog is adept at learning obedience and tricks, even in its old age.
It is important that your active Stumpygets enough exercise - they were bred to work all day.
