    Also known as Blue or Red Heeler, Queensland Heeler, or simply Heeler (for nipping heels while driving cattle), the Australian Cattle Dog is a popular sidekick in Australian films.

    Page under construction! With apologies to American, English, and Working Cocker Spaniel fanciers, they must all share a page here on Reel Dogs simply because not all the leads we get describe which breed is featured in a given film.
