Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog, often confused with the Australian Cattle Dog, was developed to develop the cattle industry in early Australian conditions. Unlike the Australian Cattle Dog, the difference between them is that the Stumpy Tail has no Kelpie blood. The Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog is the result of years of selective, careful breeding. It is not a variety of the Australian Cattle Dog but a breed in its own right. The image ( black and White) It is thought that a drover named Timmins crossed the Dingo, with its high intelligence and hardy nature, with an English breed of dog called the Smithfield, one or both of which may have been naturally bob-tailed. The results were red bob-tailed dogs known as Timmins Biters because of their headstrong habits and hard bites. The progeny from these dogs was probably crossed with the Blue Merle Smooth Collie, which exhibited stronger obedience and a gentler personality to produce what we have today – the Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog – considered by many farmers and drovers as the best herding dog breed in the world. The principal requirement was a robust biting dog capable of mustering and moving wild cattle. The long distances to be traveled made it essential that such a dog possesses excellent stamina. Although there is still some disagreement about the actual breeds used, it is generally thought that the Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog developed chiefly from cross-breeding a Dingo and the Blue Merle Collie.

@Alpo I'd never heard of them before.

Do you get these (Moth) stick cocoons in the U.S?

A college professor was doing a study, testing the senses of first graders, by using a bowl of Lifesavers. He gave all the children the same kind of Lifesavers, one at a time, and asked them to identify them by colour and flavour. The children began: "Red............cherry," "Yellow.........lemon," "Green..........lime," "Orange........orange." Finally the professor gave them all a HONEY-flavoured Lifesaver. After eating them, none of the children could identify the taste. "Well," he said, "I'll give you all a clue. It's what your mother may sometimes call your father." One little girl looked up in horror, spat out her Lifesaver, and yelled "Oh My God! Spit them out everyone. They're arseholes!"
