<P> Australian Cattle Dog has been nicknamed a `` Red Heeler '' or `` Blue Heeler '' on the basis of its colouring and practice of moving reluctant cattle by nipping at their heels . Dogs from a line bred in Queensland , Australia , which were successful at shows and at stud in the 1940s , were called `` Queensland Heelers '' to differentiate them from lines bred in New South Wales ; this nickname is now occasionally applied to any Australian Cattle Dog . </P>
