Appearance:
The Australian Cattle Dog is a sturdy, muscular, compact dog that gives the
impression of agility and strength. It has a broad skull that flattens to a
definite stop between the eyes, with muscular cheeks and a medium-length, deep,
powerful muzzle. The ears are pricked, small to medium in size and set wide apart, with a
covering of hair on the inside. The eyes are oval and dark, with an alert, keen
expression. The neck and shoulders are strong and muscular; the forelegs are
straight and parallel; and the feet round and arched, with small, sturdy toes
and nails. The female Australian Cattle Dog measures approximately 43–48 centimetres (17–19
in) at the withers, and the male measures about 46–51
centimetres (18–20 in) at the withers.
Coat:
There are two accepted coat colours, red and blue, though chocolate and
cream do occur. Blue dogs can be blue, blue mottled, or blue speckled with or
without black, tan, or white markings. Red dogs are evenly speckled with solid
red markings. Both red dogs and blue dogs are born white (except for any
solid-coloured body or face markings) and the red or black hairs grow in as they
mature. The distinctive adult colouration is the result of black or red hairs
closely interspersed through a predominantly white coat. This is not merle colouration (a speckled effect that has associated health issues), but rather the result of the ticking gene.
A number of breeds show ticking, which is the presence of colour through white
areas, though the overall effect depends on other genes that will modify the
size, shape and density of the ticking. The mask consists of a black patch over one or both eyes (for the blue coat colour) or a red patch over one or both eyes (for the red coat colour).
Depending on whether one or both eyes have a patch, these are called,
respectively, "single" (or "half") mask and "double" (or "full") mask. Dogs
without a mask are called plain-faced. Any of these are acceptable according to
the breed standard. In conformation shows, even markings are preferred over
uneven markings.
