I wish I knew how strong their herding instincts are. My Cattle Dog tries to herd everything, including my kids!

I'd say their stubbornness can surprise you. Training requires patience, but it's so worth it!

I wish I had known how much exercise they need daily. Australian Cattle Dogs are high-energy and require a lot of physical activity.

Just how much they love to work! They need a job to do every day or they can get bored.

Definitely need to be prepared for their intelligence too. They need mental stimulation, or they’ll find ways to entertain themselves!

I wish I had prepared for their need for constant social interaction. They thrive when they’re with people and other dogs.
