The Smithfield is an old Australian herding breed believed to have been brought to Australia by early British settlers, with roots possibly tracing back to working dogs from the Smithfield Market area of London. It is bold, energetic, and strong-willed, with a determined working character that requires experienced handling. This breed was originally developed to drove and herd cattle over long distances in the rugged Australian terrain.
