Developed in the 19th century to herd cattle, this naturally short- or bobtailed breed saw a decline in numbers after World War II. It would have faced extinction if not for an Australian redevelopment initiative launched in 1988. The Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog is quick to learn but must be kept engaged to prevent behavioral issues.
