Are Australian Cattle Dogs good with kids?

Yes, Australian Cattle Dogs can be good with kids. They are energetic and playful, which can make them great playmates for older children. However, due to their herding instincts, they may try to herd younger children by nipping at their heels, so, as with any breed, it is recommended that your child is always supervised when interacting with your Australian Cattle Dog to keep both the child and dog safe.

Teaching children how to approach and handle dogs of all breeds properly is crucial to ensure positive experiences for both the dog and the child, as is teaching dogs how to interact gently with children.
