📸 ジエンバに会いましょう – 動き続ける青いオーストラリアン・キャトル・ドッグ

Jiemba’s owner warned me he might be “a bit funny” – turns out he was full of energy, personality, and chaos in the best way. We met just before Jiemba’s 7th birthday, and I offered to take a few photos. I quickly learned how full-on these dogs are… but also how loyal and deeply bonded they can be.

His owner has had Dobermans, Rottweilers, greyhounds, and labs… but Jiemba was a whole new challenge. The type of dog that exhausts you — and then steals your heart.

  1. Australian cattle dogs are the best dogs. Absolute menaces, but sweethearts through and through. I've never had a dog more loyal, loving, or protective than my dearly departed pup. Miss her every day.

  2. Our Red Cattle was beyond energetic. There wasn’t a fence that could hold him. They love their pack and mistrusted/hated anyone else. They are too clever for their own good but are jerks. Mix them with a Border Collie and they are the perfect dog.

  3. I have an Australian Cattle Dog(red heeler)/Pitbull mix. She's 50/50 genetically, so damn smart, very easy to train. She pulls me on my skateboard everyday for a few miles to get some of that energy burnt off

  4. We had an aussie cattle dog. Was my wife's mother's. She passed suddenly and so I gave him to my brother. Great decision. I knew they would be perfect together. They had many happy years together. The dog passed in his sleep last month. We're deeply sad but it was his time.

    I have to say I felt so gratified knowing I was able to put those two together. My brother and the Cattle dog. Especially during such a sad time when my mother in law passed.

    I am a bird man myself. I feel for dog lovers. When you have a dog you know you will outlive it. It is always bittersweet. My bird may outlive me.

    Its always worth it I think. The grief of losing your little shadow. I know none would trade the time together for anything.

  5. I’ve only known one Australian cattle dog. He was the smartest dog I’ve ever seen. In his youth he was a champion frisbee dog. I swear he understood every word his owner spoke. He was called Pharaoh.

  6. Blue and red cattle dogs are menaces BUT they are a working dog that keeps the Aussie cattle industry working, they GO ALL DAY, not the best family pet, especially if you get a pup and are not committed to training it. BUT if you are committed to them they are FANTASTIC dogs. 🥰🥰
