Australian cattle dogs kill small animals. I am shocked I never see this in all the articles I read about how wonderful, loyal, etc they are. My Australian Cattle dog killed my dachshund and my pekingese. Aside from her murderous tendencies she was a great dog. She was intelligent, loyal to me, and obedient. But she was jealous, and killed her competition. They do this. I was shocked. Please watch her around small animals.
