The Halls Heeler is the presumed ancestor of two present-day dog breeds, the Australian cattle dog and the Australian stumpy tail cattle dog. Thomas Simpson Hall , pastoralist and son of pioneer Hawkesbury region colonist George Hall, developed an Australian working dog for cattle farming during the mid 1800s.
The Stumpy was first recognised as a breed in its own right in 1963, when the Australian National Kennel Council issued a breed standard for the Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog. [citation needed] The name was changed to Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog in 2001 [9] and in 2003 the breed was accepted by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale.
This breed was called the Halls Heeler, which were later refined by others through further breeding to create the Australian cattle dog. Hall is regarded as the main originator of this iconic type of dog. [1] Hall died in 1870 and was interred at the Hall family private cemetery in Dartbrook. [1]

Responding to changing market demand, APT ceased operating camping tours in Australia in 2001 and expanded into other domestic enterprises purchasing Sahara Tours, an 18-vehicle touring business operating in Central Australia. In 2003, this was complemented by the purchase of Billy Can Tours operating around the Northern Territory's Top End.
