Description |
The head of the Stumpy Tail Cattle dog is
balanced with the body. The eyes are medium sized and oval shape. The ears are
broad at the base, set wide apart on the head and of medium size. The muzzle is
medium and tapering to a point. The nose is black and self-colored according to
coat. The bit is scissor or level. It has a medium length and extremely strong
neck and a deep and muscular chest, with well-sprung ribs. The body is level
back that slopes at the rump. Forelegs should be perfectly straight when viewed
from the front. Hind legs are broad, strong, muscular and straight from the
hocks to the feet when viewed from the back. The feet are round with short toes.

Temperament |
Energetic, watchful, free-spirited,
obedient and alert. Brave and trustworthy. The Stumpy
Tail is suspicious of strangers, but very loyal to their own families. They
possess a great working ability to control cattle. Loves to work and is very
attentive to its owners commands. An intelligent cattle dog who can become
easily bored, leading to serious behavior problems.
It is not the type to sit around the house or be tied up in the back yard all
day doing nothing. They need a firm, confident, consistent pack leader, who will give them rules to follow and limits to what they are and are not allowed to do. This highly intelligent working dog needs to be part of the action and will thrive if you give them a job to
do. Some tend to nip at
people's heels in an attempt to herd them. Will be good with kids if you make them clearly see humans are his pack leader. If you do not make this clear, the dog may not be good with kids they were not raised with or
do not know very well. Very good in the obedience ring and in herding and
agility. Firm training, and discipline from the start and lot of daily attention will produce a
fine and happy pet. |
