Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog Activity Requirements
Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dogs are a medium-sized, high-energy dog that was originally bred to handle cattle. Today, they are considered to be a rare, primitive, or “feral” breed of dog. Because Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dogs are large, powerful, and energetic, they do require a significant amount of exercise and mental stimulation. They do best in homes with plenty of space to run and play in. A daily walk or jog is a good way to keep your doggie in shape, and a game of fetch or tug of war can provide hours of entertainment. Because Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dogs are extremely rare, it can be difficult to find a breeder. If you are interested in an Australian Stumpy Tail, it may be worth contacting a rescue organization, such as the ASPCA.
