Welcome to the home of the KZN
Australian Cattle Dog Club

We are so glad you found us!

The Australian Cattle Dog (ACD), also known as the Queensland Heeler, Blue Heeler, and Red Heeler, is a breed of herding dog developed in Australia for controlling cattle. It is a medium-sized short-coated dog with a lot of energy, intelligence and an independent streak. Like many herding dogs, Cattle Dogs have high energy levels and active minds.

The Australian Cattle Dog Club of KwaZulu-Natal was approved by the Kennel Union of Southern Africa (“KUSA”) in May 2000 and is an affiliated Non-Championship Specialist Club in KwaZulu-Natal, Northern Coastal and Midland Regions of South Africa. It is a non-profit Club purely in the interest of the Australian Cattle Dog.

Our Club mission is to promote and establish the Australian Cattle Dog in South Africa, and to encourage all ACD owners and breeders, to improve their bloodlines and wherever possible, to enlarge their gene pool. Owners are urged to show their dogs and encourage their innate working ability in the field. By adhering to our mission, we will produce the ideal ACD: loyal, faithful and a very willing worker.
