[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1526107, member: 968"] No, I have not heard of that. Like all breeds (cattle included) there have been "hidden" other breeds introduced along the way. There have been numerous breeds that I have heard used to develop ACD, but the only base has always been the Australian Dingo. Back in the 70's, Ausies would come over here to work/learn on a farm - knew a few in Kansas. They came with their guitar & their heeler. I was always told the working collie & dingos were the main start of the breed. The Dalmatian was never part of the mixture - as told to me. "In the 19th century, a NSW cattle farmer Thomas Hall crossed the herding dogs used in Northumberland with Australian dingoes, resulting in dogs known as ‘Hall’s Heelers’. From this developed the Australian Cattle Dog that became often called the red or blue heeler. Later on, another Queensland landowner George Elliot experimented with the crossing of the Dingo and Collie." [/QUOTE]
