About Ida Mae

I sure am cute, but I'm a ball of energy and natural instincts! I need to get my energy out and will want to play, cuddle, scratch, and dig. Puppies will naturally jump, wrestle, and want to put things in their mouth. But if you stick with me, we'll be best friends forever! What you put into me is what you'll get out!

About Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler Dogs

Australian Cattle Dogs, also known as Blue Heelers, are tough, intelligent herding dogs bred to drive cattle across the rugged Australian outback. They are incredibly loyal and form a deep bond with their primary person. Their blue or red speckled coat and alert expression reflect their working heritage.

Adopting an Australian Cattle Dog means gaining a devoted, energetic partner who excels at learning and working. They need a job to do and thrive with active owners who can channel their boundless energy into constructive activities.
