Grace guessed it! It was:


The protective, loyal Australian cattle dog was developed
in nineteenth-century Australia because cattlemen needed a
robust, fearless dog who could control the wild,
intractable cattle that grazed their vast farmlands.

I told Karen to let someone else do the next puzzle.

Karen, how about some info on this particular puzzle? I googled Vicki Shields, and came up with several different women with that name. One is involved with cats in this country; another is in Australia, but it didn't specify her interest in dogs.

It is from an article she wrote in the May 2009 issue of Dog Fancy about Australian Cattle dogs.
