These are Australian Cattle Dog puppies or sometimes called Blue Heelers. The 
video footage was taken the local animal shelter/adoption centre. This breed seems to be very popular. They come into the centre very quickly and they seem to go very fast as well. They were thought to have the tendencies to nip heels to herd people as some owner with blogs has claimed, but they found them to be the contrary.
The two modern breeds that I encountered very often are the Australian Cattle Dog and the Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog. These dogs are of medium size, sturdy in looks and come in two colours, brown or black distributed evently across white, which give them the appearance of red or blue colours and hence named red or blue heelers. The most successful breeds at shows come from Queensland, Australia which are often called Queensland Heelers.
Characteristics of this breed to include
- loyal and biddable, and responds well to training
- energetic
- intelligent
They are protective of their owners and possessions, most of all a great companion of activities due to their strength. I think this is the reason why it is one of the popular pets in Australia.
