Olman Gus McRae

Gus exemplifies what the Australian Cattle Dog should be. He is outstanding in his work ability, temperament and conformation – all the requisites needed to do the job he was bred for. He is powerful, agile and couragious.

Physically he's as solid as a rock. His proportions are perfect and his movement fast and flowing. Gus is incredibly athletic, gracefully leaping into the air to land in the box of his new 4x4, never so much as glancing the paint. It catches one's breath to witness his amazing "hang time".

Gus has the overall look of a foundation stock ACD, having attributes of his forefathers of decades previous. Temperamentally, he is quiet and sensitive, and generous with hugs and kisses. He will never bark unnecessesarily, but will protect his home, stock and bitches. Gus passed his TT (Temperament Test) as if it were second nature to him. The only aggression he will ever show is while doing his job – cattle moving and holding them – at which he is awsome.

Gus has jet black eyes, keen hearing and a black mouth pallet (which to some is a sign of intelligence). His hind quarters are strong and nicely angulated. His tail has an enviable "brush", in keeping with the standard. He weighs around 55 pounds and is 20" at the withers.

His coat is considered to be "red mottled", but registered as "red speckled". Consistently he throws to his progeny a speckled coat of red and blue. He always passes on rich colour to his puppies.
