      1.  The Characteristics of an Australian Cattle Dog Puppy and Dog 

      Australian Cattle Dogs are very athletic, intelligent (one of the most intelligent breeds of dogs) and have high amounts of energy. They are agile, well-muscled, and powerful and determined while working. They are not an indoor dog, they need exercise and things to occupy them, and otherwise they can pick up behavior problems.

      The Australian Cattle Dog is a breed of herding dog that originated from Australia. They are also known as ACD, Australian Heeler, Blue Heeler, Hall's Heeler, and Queensland Heeler. Native Dingoes that were mixed with Collies and other herding dogs was how the Australian Cattle Dog was developed in 1840.

      They were registered by the American Kennel Club in 1980. The average weight for a male is about 32 to 35 pounds and the average weight for a female is 30 to 35 pounds. The average height for a male is 17 to 20 inches and the average for a female is 17 to 19 inches. You can expect 1 to 7 puppies on average when you are expecting a litter. The average life expectancy for Australian Cattle Dogs  is about 12 to 15 years.

      The Australian Cattle dog is a medium sized breed of dog. Their body length is a little longer than its tall. Its skull is broad, the ears are wide set and their muzzle is medium length . Their tail is low and has a curve. Their neck and shoulders are muscular, and so are their cheeks. Their eyes are dark brown and oval shaped, and their teeth come together in a scissor like bite.

      They have strong front legs with extending feet and their feet are round. The most common coat colorings are red speckled, blue, blue-mottled or blue speckled with or without other markings, and Merle colored. All Australian Cattle Dogs are born white, and sometimes you can tell what color they will be as adults if you look at their paw pads.

      The Australian Cattle Dog has a smooth double coat with a short dense undercoat, which is weather resistant. They require very little grooming needs. You should brush the dogs coat occasionally because they are not a year round shedder. The Australian Cattle Dog blows its coat once a year, if male, and twice, if female. During this time, frequent brushing and warm baths will help to contain the hair shed. You only need to bathe them if necessary. Clip their nails and clean their ears to prevent any health problems.

      Some health problems that the Australian Cattle Dog has sometimes are Progressive Rod/Cone Degeneration (PRCD), blindness, arthritis, and infertility. PRCD is when the rods and the cones in the retina deteriorate, which causes blindness. Merles colored dogs are sometimes prone to deafness.

      The Australian Cattle Dog needs high amounts of physical activity because they are a herding dog. If they do not receive enough exercise they can get bored and destructive. You should take them on long walks or out with you when you go for a run.

      They are very protective, so they make an excellent guard and watch dog. They are also excellent with children, so they make a good family pet for everyone in the family. Sometimes they nip at people’s feet in an attempt to herd them, so to prevent things like this they must be trained at a young age.

      2.  What You Should Know About Puppy Teeth

      There is no doubt about it, puppies are going to chew on things!  Dogs will have 28 baby teeth, and 42 permanent teeth.  When a puppy is roughly 2 to 3 weeks old, their baby teeth start to come in.  All their baby teeth should be in place by roughly 8 weeks of age.

      The puppy’s new teeth are very tiny and sharp, and will hurt your fingers when they get a hold of them.  Most mothers will start to wean their babies at 5 to 6 weeks old.

      Your puppies baby teeth will start to come out around 8 to 12 weeks of age.  By roughly 8 months old, your dog’s permanent teeth should all be in.  You should make sure
