  There is a difference between the Australian Cattle Dog and The Australian Shepard.  The Australian Shepard has longer hair.  If you ever get a chance to own a Australian Cattle Dog, it will be one of the most rewarding things in your life.  They have the intelligence of a Border Collie, which is extremely high.  They are so much like a human, that's  scary.  No baby talk to them.  They understand things in paragraphs.  Attached is a picture of my two.  I have a red and a blue.  My red is called Salty.  Why not have a Salty and Pepper.  The other two belong to my son.  I was grandpuppy sitting that weekend.
