what is the difference between a queensland heeler and an australian cattle dog
Australian Cattle Dog Australian Cattle Dog has been nicknamed a "Red Heeler" or "Blue Heeler" on the basis of its colouring and practice of moving reluctant cattle by nipping at their heels. Dogs from a line bred in Queensland, Australia, which were successful at shows and at stud in the 1940s, were called "Queensland Heelers" to differentiate them from lines bred in New South Wales; this nickname is now occasionally applied to any Australian Cattle Dog.
Coat of arms of Australia The Red Kangaroo and Emu that support the shield have never been designated as official animal emblems of the nation.[2] They owe their unofficial recognition to the fact that they are native Australian fauna (found only on that continent), and likely chosen because they are the most well-known native Australian animals large enough to be positioned together in scale holding up the shield. They were chosen to symbolise a nation moving forward, based on the fact that neither animal can move backwards easily â€“ i.e. symbolising progress. It has been claimed [3] that the kangaroo is, and must be seen to be, male.
