Guil Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Hi, TD;LR: Need help to complete the puzzle leading to a complete breed chart that lead to modern Australian Cattle Dog, to eventually post it on Wikipedia. I have a work dog with me that seem to be what people call the "old" type of Australian Cattle Dog. Broad head and body, stronger than "modern" ACD. It seems that this particular breed stock to be closer to Hall's but still, since his strong complexion, I believe something else got in the mix. Bull Terrier? That's likely, however, he does not lock his jaw and just nips perfect. Seems like his type was bread on top of Hall's (1832) in order to achieve a Drover that can get kicked by a bull and just keep working. (Seen him getting hit by a car pretty hard on several occasions but he stood there, unharmed)… I started working on this chart on my spar time and if anyone can help me complete it, I would really appreciate. Cheers! Guil & Bender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mapping out characteristics and lineage not only helps breeders and owners understand genetic traits but also preserves valuable breed history. It reminds me of the work done on hyperhistory.org, where timelines and interconnected data help visualize complex historical developments. Just like with dog breeds, understanding patterns over time leads to better decisions and deeper appreciation. Looking forward to seeing how the chart evolvesm, it could be a great resource for the community! Thank you so much for sharing it.
