To Be Clear: Blue Heelers are the result of British settlers crossing the Blue Merle and Australian Dingo breeds, over a hundred years ago. They’re fiercely loyal to their people and are great for families - as long as they have a way to release all their energy. As a Blue Heeler dog owner, there are some things you must never do to ensure you help your dog reach their full potential, that’s why in this video, we bring to you 5 things you must never do to your Blue Heeler.

My girl has an unusual job, she goes to work with me every day. It’s been her routine since she was 8 weeks old, she gets so mad if she doesn’t get to see her co-workers and customers. She is the best assistant ever.
They are called velcro dogs for a reason, they must be with you.
My Heeler herds people around the house. Its hilarious. I can make her stop whenever if it gets out of hand. Great dog
I have a blueheeler. We got him at 6 weeks old and as a family we all decided to call him Blue. But I personally now call him Booboo. The number 1 reason we decided to get a blue heeler was so that I can have a running/hiking partner a year after my border collie passed away. I had no idea just how energetic blueheelers were until Blue. He's hiked up to 43 miles in a week with me, easy. I was never able to do that with my other dogs. When we are not hiking, we do 3 to 5 miles daily walk on a trail close to home. Once a month we take a couple of days off to relax and do nothing. They are also loud dogs, and like to bark a lot, engaging in conversations:) He seemed to be a 1 person dog, very independent, and does not like to cuddle too much. I grab him sometimes and force a cuddle on him. He groans and roles his eyes at me, letting me know he rather just lay beside me. Or he will roll over, begging me for a body massage instead. I usually get kisses and affection from him during meal times. He hates it when I leave the house, and when I get home he is right there. He follows me everywhere, even to the bathroom. The only time he spent time with family members is when I am gone and he is getting rubs, otherwise, he will sit by the door waiting for me to get home. From my personal experience, blueheelers make a great running/hiking partner. I have a very young grandson occasionally visit me, and he wants to nip him, so I ALWAYS make sure I keep an eye on Blue, or if I am physically playing with my grandson, I have to put him in our room for an hour. So I do not think they are great around small children. No problem with my older teens. Anyways, knowing dogs have a shorter life span than humans, I dread losing him someday, because I can no longer picture my life without him:(
I'm on my second Blue Healer. I named my first one blue because he had blue eyes. I enjoyed reading your story. I love these guys. Thanks
I rescued my blue heeler 8 years ago, or should i say, he rescued me. He's the love of my life. He is one good watch dog, barks at anything that moves, birds, squares, air planes, oh he hates flies. His best treat is a joy ride to the market.
@@Richard-zi3dy Lol, my Booboo barks at airplanes too! He looks up and runs as he barks at it, almost as if he was chasing it away. And he hates flies too. Whenever a fly makes it inside our home, it usually ends up shewed up, dead on the floor. I agree, they are great dogs and bark at anything that moves. Boo also chases birds too, without barking at it as he does with planes. He tries to catch the birds instead. They are great for companionship:) What's your heelers name?
He nips because thats what they do!!
They are great around kids but have to be introduced at a very young puppy age.
3rd Generation ACD owner here and would never ever think of any other breed.
Just perfect for me and our family.
We have a blue healer
He was 2 months he likes kids he licks them also likes all other dogs + adults he is 6 mths
We go to dog parks and walks daily he plays with.his toys in the house only barks
When some one comes to the door he is a good funny dog love him 💝🤩
I adopted my heeler Kiah at 5 years old direct from a family that gave her up as they were unable to give her the time she needed. She had many bad habits. Biting, nipping, obsessively trying to get interaction from anyone and everyone. Happily and with the help of a good trainer it all worked out for me. BUT - I am retired and have 12 acres. She has room to run. And all my vacations include her. So road trips and camping are our usuals. These dogs are not to be taken lightly. Yet they are delightful in the right home.
My blue heeler is wary of strangers. So typical of the breed. He may start a fight with another male dog, but only if the dog is his size or bigger. I've never seen him get in a fight with a female dog or a small dog. For years I've taken him running through bush tracks. He's always off leash there, and I have no concerns about him biting someone in public spaces. He's always happy to see people on the track. He's not going to run up to be patted or something. His body language is "hello are you having a good time? I am." The vet once said "he's friendly on his terms". He's so smart, so loyal and loving. When you've had a blue heeler
in your life, you don't want to be without one.
Trevor Woods I have one myself I know what you mean they’re great dogs
I've had a blue heeler. Freddy was a rescue from a farm. He was destructive on the farm at a young age bc he was left alone and not trained. I got him when he was 6. The most loyal dog I've ever owned.
Bc Freddy wasnt trained I was limited to his activities. He didn't play well with others with the exception of young coming to the home. He was a parental figure in my home.
Great companions. I wouldn't get another tho. My life doesn't have time for the energy of a heeler anymore.
If you are thinking of getting a heeler. It's a full time job. Great truck dog for the person that has the ability to have a pet by there side.
😩😩😩😩 My Fred was 4 when I rescued him from the small farm he was terrorizing. Same reason.....he was untrained and got no human love. We had a lot of good years together. The first few weeks were rough but I earned his trust and respect quickly and he mine.....I still tear up thinking of him over 10 years later.
I got Sir Pepper now. He's 9. He was also abused, physically and left alone in a pen with a bigger dog who took his food daily. He's such a baby now, he still is fearful of flyswatters, newspapers and any stick like object in anyone's hands....he's never been touched roughly at our home tho.... It's sad to see he still carrys them memories.
My blue heeler Finnegan just turned one year. I call him my adventure pup. He is always ready for a new adventure. Fiercely loyal with a strong independent streak, he helps on our ranch with my goats. I find routine “jobs” are a must as well as spontaneous excursions. He’s the dog I never thought I needed, and I can’t imagine each day without him.
My two year old Heeler Wylie is the best dog, but endless energy. Fortunately I am now retired and live in a rural area of Washington State, so he is thriving. What a funny and friendly dog!
I have 4 1/2 old female named Bella. She is such a joy! She is my second Cattle Dog and I would never have anything else. They are very strong willed and stubborn, so you have to strongly remind them from time to time that you’re the Alpha. They are so fiercely loyal and protective and, as the video says, don’t like to be alone. Bella goes with me all the time except for formal occasions, and I recommend this very highly! Nice video!!
mine was a red heeler named blue and he was the best dog i ever had!! we got him as a puppy and he was super sweet, though i think he had a mischevious side to him as well since he liked to pick up stuff and run away (he did steal but eventually stopped and just stole wood from our firewood stash) i miss him, he recently passed but he was a real loving dog
Same. Our red Queensland was 17yrs old. Sweeties guy ever. Loved kids and was so gentle. He's been gone two weeks now. Sorry for your loss.
Mine is a red about 2 now I got her from a shelter about a year ago and it has taken all this time to regain her trust but it's so worth it. I call her my solar puppy because if the sun is shining she's working, swimming or playing with the other dogs I am a handyman so she goes to work with me. if I had a normal job I wouldn't be able to take care of her the way she needs it's constant but very rewarding.
Lola is the best friend and dog I could have ever asked for. She is 5.5 years old. All though, I did get really lucky with her as a puppy. Never destroyed anything. She is so smart and so loyal. She doesn’t leave my side when I am sleeping and if she does it’s to tell someone to go away. I swear I could leave a door open and she would never leave me. She actually does chill when I am sitting on the couch binging Nextflix she is right by my side She is addicted to her laser light (great night exercise), and she loves her “things”. She is the biggest cuddle bug there is. She literally walks herself by carrying her leash in her mouth and has since she was a pup. She listens when I tell her to wait for me or to slow down. I talk to her as if she were a human and she actually understands what I’m saying. Life with Lola is wonderful ❤
My Nikita is addicted to her red light, I actually have to spell it out to not get her excited. She goes and stares at where the light is, telling me coming lets play red light.
Needs so much attention and has so much love to give. Make sure she or he knows who the boss is .I love my Heidi.
Picked up a blue heeler mix yesterday. 5 weeks old. She already asks to go outside to pee and has learned not to bite me, and is learning to have 4 on the floor. I thought, she is so hyper, I’d better start right away. She had a rough day today - cried and cried, and as soon as i figured out her heating blanket was off and turned it back on, she went right to sleep. This is a nice video to help me get to know my new friend.
Mine runs security at my shop. He’s with me 24/7. If you can’t take them to work or be home with them, maybe a blue isn’t your dog. Mines a Texas Heeler. Everyday is an adventure.
I have a one and a half year old girl named Bella. Beautiful she surely is. I have an interview for a job five hours away tomorrow. Though she has yet to travel with me long distance this video convinced me to take her with me. Wish us luck. I love my best buddy.
We do love our Blue Heelers!
We just got a 10 week old blue heeler / hanging tree cross. He's a smart little pup. It only took me 2 days to get him house trained. It only took him a day to learn the basic commands, like come, sit, calm and load up. Heelers are extremely intelligent dogs. With 7 kids, 5 of which are extremely energetic boys, he burns off his excess energy quite quickly. He is a great family dog.
Good luck at the 9 month attitude swing.
Oh I know. It's just like the kids when they turn into threenagers. This is the 3rd heeler I've had so it's nothing new to me lol
best dogs ever
Having kids for a heeler to herd is certainly a game changer. They are great dogs as long as they are given jobs to do.
How do you recommend house training?
My girl is 1, Miss Rango. She is extremely attached to humans and will behave perfectly if she gets to come along for adventures. Her recall and training ability are insane. Amazing listener. She is sweet as a button, gentle and great with other dogs and kids. Buttt she takes A LOT of energy and if her energy is not properly taken care of in the morning, she will get into anything she can at home. We had to bungeee our pantry closed because we’d come home to different torn into snacks every day. Overall, ball OBSESSED, loves to swim and a big cuddle bug at night. They are a lot of work, but man, they are rewarding ❤️
Thank you, perfectly said. My Red Heeler, a Service Dog named Hope, is amazing; incredibly loyal and almost scary intelligent. I've caught her acting in ways I'd expect a young human trying to pull a fast one past its parents. You are right on mark with the ball obsession. And Frisbee. Their energy is boundless, however, after getting spayed, Hope's stamina isn't as extensive as before. Although, she can still chase a ball for two hours straight.
My boy Scout is pushing 5 years in December and is high energy we go out in the mornings before I head to work and play when I get off and go on hikes. He’s very loving and fiercely loyal and protective when he doesn’t know someone but not aggressive by any means. He doesn’t jump on kids or nip at them but the total opposite with adults but it’s playful and he knows when to stop. He’s a total gentleman with women however.
My boy Scout will be 6 in November! He is seriously such an amazing dog, so incredibly smart, loving, handsome etcetera. He knows many many tricks, and his vocabulary is seriously amazing, he answers to probably at least 10 different names . He definitely nips and herds anything that he feels should be kept I'm line. There is absolutely no breaking him of it. He absolutely HATES motorcycles and he goes nuts whenever he sees or hears one. Not far behind is the vacuum, leaf blower, rake, and broom. He is seriously the BIGGEST lover. He is very gentle with children, and was very protective of our baby from the moment we brought her home from the hospital. He knows the names of all of his people and loves them fiercely. At the dog park he will go up to the humans and say hello, and if they give him attention, (and they always do because he's seriously the cutest most handsome boy ever) he will claim the human and when their dog comes around he gets growly and nippy and tells the other dog to go away. I think this is absolutely hilarious. Also at the dog park he is the absolute boss of ALL the dogs from the biggest great Dane, to the smallest chihuahua and he keeps them all in line and my God is this funny, because he only weighs 33 pounds. He will cuddle with me on the couch and I'm bed all night if Iet him. I love him so much, he's my boyfriend :) He is incredibly emotionally intelligent, and has incredible empathy. His facial expressions and eyes tell you he is constantly thinking. We run, hike, play ball, as well as I taught him to catch a frisbee from the time he was a tiny puppy. He is one of the most amazing and beautiful dogs I have ever had or been around. ❤️
I wish they would tell more people this. Once your puppy is about 10 he/she needs a new born puppy. It made my blue heeler mix last another three years and he didn't show signs of ageing until the last month.
Very energetic and very loyal.
I love Blue Heelers! I have had about 5 of them in my life time and they make the best friends you will ever have. The one I have now though is very lazy lol.
I have a Red and a Blue...Everything you stated is true. Thanks for informing the public on their intelligence, energy, and caution.
I have a blue heller and he is 8 years old and he is so loving
Best dogs ever!
She is super duper energetic!! We love her...she plays for 45ins in the morning and then to the barn with our horses. Then back to play more but she has made her own bedtime
8:45pm. Wake up is 630 or7.
Sounds like the perfect life for a heeler ❤️
My heeler loves the water. Recently I had him at my sister's Lake Michigan cottage. That dog played for two hours in the surf playing fetch with his Jolly Ball. This was about the only time in the evening where I had peace and quiet. He dries quickly without having that wet dog smell. He is my first heeler and I'm glad for his energy, it helps me get off the couch.
Yes
My last heeler HATED getting wet, but my current boy LOVES to be in water.
Mine is absolutely obsessed with water. So I have to be careful with her drinking too much at the same time as playing. We put a 3X9 cattle trough in the yard with a pump and platform, still trying to get her to jump in, she will only lay on the slide and wants you to splash always.
We were camping in close contact with a lot of other people several years ago. Our first blue heeler was with us. Some kids ran through our camp and he nipped at their heels. I chewed him out and told him to go apologize. He went to the camp of the kids and groveled in front of their mother. They are so smart.
Tengo uno d 4 meses y es muy energetico y mordelon,y ami me escojio como madre😍
Our boys Flag and Loki have got me and my husband back in shape. Semi retired, we have lots of time for our pups. 12 acer property helps alot. Their job is to help us clear all the sticks. Easily trained, and full of personality.
I just got one she's playful and very attentive
Im getting a blue heeler here in about 3 weeks. I've trained several dogs in my childhood (im 18 now) but its been a minute so im freshening up. I love these little dudes
Buckle up!!!
I hate to be the one to say this .. but now is the time to do a really deep dive into to this .. this is a super hard breed to own. they are not like any other breed. If I had to do it again I would not get a heeler. It takes up a huge amount of my time but he is the coolest dog I have ever owned. He will walk me if I am having a dream or knows when my back hurts ... I have never had a dog that was so smart. I can train him a trick in a couple days. its really just about how much effort I put into it. People often thing I am really good at training , granted I have some experience but often its the dog we have not practiced he just gets it. like I said I would not get one again just make sure you know what you are doing the first two years they need a lot of foundation work to build confidence.
They’re chill dude. Just work on impulse control and you’ll be set, they’re really smart and want to please their owner.
I hope you work from home.
I’ve raised two females, one red, one blue and am now blessed with my one year old blue male that I started training at eight weeks old. Awesome dogs, very intense and energetic ( I get my 1200 steps a day!). My male is the best natured out of the three. Loves kids, not just my grown up kids but all the kids in the neighborhood. Loves to meet and play with other dogs, even male dogs. Being retired gives me the opportunity to be with my Ozzie boy every day, all day. Always willing to go anywhere with me.
I think you meant 12,000 steps a day! 1200 won't even get this dog's attention. I have a heeler mix of some sort, just got from the local shelter a month ago. Wonderful dog, but we have a lot of training we're doing together. If some days I don't quite get to 10k steps, she notices.
I have got a 2 year acd, and i must say i can hardly find any "things you must never do". She is very social, loves other dogs, never had problems with her in the house etc . So i am very happy with her. Maybe i got lucky or is it due to being with her every hour of the day . I go to dog training with her and she is a smart dog , but mind of her own sometimes .
My pup Camper is Laponian Shepperd/German Sheppard Dad mixed with full blood Blue Heeler mom. He is amazing! His intelligence is astonishing, and his desire to please me constantly is so honorable. He is a bit head strong at times when he focuses on something he wants, and will tear things up in the house (shoes, clothes, etc) if he is bored, so I have to make sure to have plenty of toys (rotated so he wont be bored with the same ones) and lots of exercise running on the farm. Blue Heelers are awesome.
I rescued my red healer,shes the most laid back chill dog ive ever had,likes walks and just chillin out with me,very protective and loyal,lots of love and care makes her very happy,she will only nip if people are running around the yard other then that,she wouldn't bite a soul,best dog ive ever had
I have a Blue heeler/Rottweiler puppy named Winston We got him at 12 weeks and he’s now 4 months old. He’s so smart and learns quickly. My 4 pit bulls and cats love him.
We have a Blue healer / Beagle. He has such a great personality. He is a loyal, smart and affectionate dog. He's an inside dog and sheds a bunch. We play fetch alot and he has his toys which he will play for hours if wanted. I do find it funny that he jumps every time we throw the ball (Like the 1 in the video). Great dog and great member of our family!
My 3yr old gal, Dakota, is a big time protector of us and our yard. ....just ask any squirrels that have made the mistake of stepping in yard. 🤦♀️
The squirrels just run up trees and bark at her as she trees them. Fun to watch..
Got a new pup, Cheyenne, 4mths old. .....and I ask myself often "what was I thinking? " lol She reminded me quick like how "busy " they are. We live out in the country and have woods all around....my carport looks like a pulp mill from limbs she drags up and chews on....lol
Gotta love a heeler
8 year old female blue currently. Had a red male before. Best dogs ever. They do get into mischief and are super protective. They will go anywhere with you and they can chill out too. If you have other dogs like I've had count on the heeler being in charge. They're really big on sleeping in the bed with you and sampling your dinner as well. Great dogs!
They like making little nests in your bedding, it's funny
Had 5 and our 1 yr old, Cinder is a sweetheart smart and very affectionate. She loves long hikes and playing. Such wonderful pet.
Our blue healer is 13. He has arthritis in a bunch of places but still wants to go for walks everymorning. If he doesn't get a walk he is a PITA! Aftetwards he loves to lay in the sun.
Now that he is an old man I have to lift him in and out of the car. He puts himself to bed around 7:30 each night and is the last one downstairs in the morning.
He was surrendered to Animal Control and a day from being euthanized when we adopted him. He was 3 months old and so uncoordinated from spending most of his time in a crate. He couldn't run without tripping on his own feet.
On the ride home he was an unholy terror in the back of my Outback. He tore up the blanket and foam pad I put down for him and he repeatedly bit at the window glass. Fortunately we had the factory pet barrier to keep in the back. Now he loves to go for rides.
Just like the Aussie band AC/DC, aka The Thunder from Down Under, he was always full throttle, so we decided to name him Thunder. His nick name is $h!+ Head because he really is one with some of the antics he's pulled.
He is my shadow and follows me everywhere. He even learned to open the bathroom door so he can "keep me company". He loves to lay on my dirty clothes while I shower and lay right behind me while I shave.
He has the most character of any dog I've had. Infact he is a character.
Your story is very similar to our last heeler. Jake was about a year old and within days of being put down at a shelter when we rescued him. He knew no commands, and was not house broken. It took some work, but he turned out to be a wonderful dog and loyal companion.
Sadly we had to put him down at age 13 due to arthritis in his back. We were able to manage it for about a year with CBD oil. We are not sure what happened, but over the course of a weekend, he went from managed pain to being unable to stand or control his bodily functions. The vet was not optimistic about a recovery due to his age and X-rays.
I didn’t think I wanted another dog, but last Thursday I made a 10 hour round trip and picked up a new Blue Heeler puppy.
Ive had my Red Heeler, Ziva for seven years and yes she is as the video suggested to a tee. She displays all of the mentioned characteristics.
I have a blue healer/ Shepard mix. She was the runt of the litter. I have never had such a smart pup. She was raised in a barn with a large litter , brought her home and in two days she was house trained.
I just got a blue heeler/ German Shepard mix, he’s 3 months old. You have any advice? Should I be worried about him being off Leash or just any advice you have?
He isn’t food motivated whatsoever lol
I just got my blue heeler a week ago he's very intelligent very smart wants to be with me all the time I've got another dog and she shows her teeth and wags her Tails she tries to show she's boss the cat already jumped on him but he's a good boy he didn't hurt anybody it's just going to take some time Lotta Love lot of exercise but I thank God for this little blue heeler my little blue heeler went with the angels so I went and got another one he Sparks up my life so I call him Sparky somebody had shot him he ended up in the Humane Society and I got him God knew I needed another one I was so lost without my other one and now I've got the Sparky
You sound like a really 😎 person God bless you
Ok my son found him at horse ranch, 4 yrs ago, so we took him. I like his coat color, my son name him Ash Boy, yes he like to hike miles, we luv ash very much. My grandkids luv ash aswell..ash is family now❤🎉
♥️🐶🙏
Inexhaustible energy is correct!
Facts and Thanks
I got a blue heeler she's 11 weeks old been holding n bonding since she was born. I am training her myself and I will definitely get help with a professional to help me train her better as I want her to be my service dog. She's so smart.
I have a Blue Heeler pit mix, and everything is said in the video . We got her at 4 months and I have been trying to train her so she will be a good girl.
Our blue heeler travels everywhere with our family of 5. We take her every place we are allowed. Lives to play Frisbee and leap into a stunt to catch it. Happy dog with plenty of exercise.
I adopted a Blue Heeler that is now 13 week old. He nips a lot, very energetic enjoying sprints of about 1/10th a mile up to 3 to 5 times every other day and 30 minute to 45 minute walks in between. He is extremely energetic.
My girl is be 13+. She can't jump anymore, I have to pick her up to get on the couch and bed. She had slept with us since we got her at 8 weeks. She was the runt, but sure can't tell now. She never did nip, but she knows when it's bedtime and she will herd us to bed without us saying anything. They are so smart. Mine is kinda bossy, but I have to admit, I let her be. 😁 Can't even think about losing her.
I got my guy some stairs to get into my bed, when he was around 8. He can still easily jump up into my bed, but I try to make him use the stairs even when he’s not tired. Stuff like that and Cosequin has done wonders for him. He is now 11 and his hip issues don’t seem to have gotten any worse since then, but he definitely feels it at the end of a long day of running and jumping. He still thinks he’s a puppy haha. Anyway, I’d look into some stairs to try to save those hips a bit. The way I trained my guy was a few hours of having him on a leash, some food for each step, and a lot of praise when he got up the stairs. The stairs I use are easy to move around so I use them for having him get into the car too. Gotta save those hips for playtime.
thanks a LOT for the USEFUL information and to be TOTALLY honest i did do and/or PROBABLY will SOMEWHAT like blue heelers
My Clara, 16.4yr old, just passed. Please remember, your ACD needs just as much mental stimulation as they do physical. They must be allowed to figure things out for themselves and receive praise for doing so. This confidence building is essential for a health, happy and safe dog. ACDs are one of the hardest dogs to raise, but once of the most loved when done right.
Most dogs that live that old have been well taken care of and loved their whole lives, or most of it. Sorry for your loss.
the best thing god created, once you have one you know, all dogs are great but these guys go to a new level
I have two healers. Oldest one is a mix we're not sure what my daughter rescued him in Arizona. We ended up bonding he's amazing and very smart I love his ears. I had to get him a buddy so I got a Blue heeler he is now 11 months lots of energy and very smart. The two play rough too rough I have to separate them sometimes , the younger one has ended up injured twice now and you are right they don't know when to stop. To anybody thinking of getting one You're in for a lot of action but they're worth it everything on this video is correct to the T about them. I think they're the best dogs ever.
Thanks for the video
Spelt HEELER. But if your dog is into healing as well, that's a bonus 😃
@@psychedelicprawncrumpets9479 I know it's spelled that way I was using speak text
My Honey is just over 1 now. She is incredibly well behaved. People are always commenting on her manners on our (LONG) daily walks. This, along with daily Frissbee play/work she is happy and calm. As far as being able to leave her, it took time and several short (sometimes just a minute or two) to teach her we were coming back but now she just waits patiently because she knows we will be back and that upon our return she always gets to go do something fun!
I have two, an eight month old and a 16 year old. I usually have three, but, lost one last year due to old age, 18 I think. My eight month old is a MONSTER! I love him to the end of the earth. My living room is where my old boots go to die. I'm looking for another one to complete the trifecta of heelers. I don't think I'm gonna do another puppy as I don't think I would survive....
I must have gotten lucky because this video makes them seem high maintenance.
We have a female blue heeler who forgot to read the instruction book. She is a total couch potato and perfectly happy with one walk a day. She is not a mix. She loves her meals and veggie dents and is very demanding concerning that. She likes other dogs...not so much cats and hates anything that has a wheel that turns. She is definitely stubborn but very sweet and loving. We did have to break her from herding us when she was a puppy, especially on stairs. Best dog ever! She is 6 years old
Моему голубому хилеру нравятся ваши советы 👍
We lost our 17 year old heeler in March last year due to her having fits. The day she was put down was the day our new pup heeler pup was born. We had our new pup house trained within about a week. The best thing to do is have a dog door and show then how to go outside as this makes house training easy. Both of our dogs were never interested in playing fetch or running around. I can sit on the couch for hours and they will sit beside me and sleep while laying their head on my knee. Great dogs but you have to make sure they know they are not the top dog, make sure you give them good quality food, low in crude fat and protein and they will live a long and happy life.
I would never crop the tail of my Heelers!!! They have such beautiful tails,and convey alot of info. through their tails!!
I recently got a blue heeler and husky mix!
I have a mixed heeler in my truck. I'm a long haul truck driver. She's been with me every day every second of her life. She a great listener, but as soon as she off the leash, she's moving. She'll patrol perimeter never trying too far. But. Trying to get her to come home..
Is always a struggle. I have to trick her in order for her to get back in the truck.
We just got a blue Healer a week ago, she is 2 1/2 months, she is very smart. The 1st night she never cried all night at 5:30 in the morning she wanted up so I took her outside she went poddy. After that she never had to be taken outside again. She goes on her own.
Note about Blue healer... most dogs that bite you are not smiling as the do it... its really a control mechanism .. ( they dont fully attack unless your attacked)...they mean well but they are rough,....so either commit to training or dont get one.
Great dog though ...smart, loyal ...
I’m surprised about the nipping, mine is 1-1/2 years and he’s never done it! But loves to play frisbee
I have a red heeler his name is Dale. I've owned heelers all my life red and blue, I absolutely love these dogs and they are great with kids I have grandchildren now and Dale is so good with them. Dale either likes you or he doesn't so if he doesn't like you, you won't get in the yard he's 12yrs old now but still loves a game of fetch with a squeaky ball.
I have a 8 month old female heeler named Kaia! She is the absolute best
I’m able to have my 3yo blue heeler with me all day. He runs beside my side by side for a couple miles each day. He is an extremely loyal dog but has to run and play each day. The biggest thing you have to learn is these dogs have to work both mind and body. I’m retired and have plenty of time to enjoy this. He can run short blasts of up to 24 mph. Is faster than any squirrel and most rabbits. He jumps almost six foot from flat foot and over eight foot from a full run. I have always enjoyed a lab or a mutt from the local pound and care for all my dogs over the years. I won’t be getting another heeler as much as I enjoy this one . These dogs only work if you can and will spend time learning about the breed. They are an amazing dog.
I love my Chloe smarter than me sometimes loves to nip still working on that know lots of commands seems to read my mind at times loves my little girl very protective over her loves to fetch she's my best friend fr
Just got my little pup he’s all gray with a big blob of black over his ears and right eye, and his tail is almost all white 😆 waiting to see if his coat changes at all but he’s awesome! His name is Roman and he’s been my dream dog for years! I have a lot of free time so the both of us will be getting a ton of exercise. I love this breed 🤣
It's like raising a puppy/honey badger. She is a good girl.
We will soon be getting our first blue. Very young. Six weeks old. Very good information in the comments. Especially about bitting and high energy. Thanks everyone.
Mine was 10 weeks when I got him. They potty trained fast, took me 2 weeks to potty train, very smart and very loyal. Have tons of different chew toys around (mine's a very aggressive chewer.) And over the top with energy. Good luck there great dog
@@robnoga3698 thank you. My family and I should be getting him this weekend. We will keep him indoors for bit, but he will be an outside dog. My husband has always wanted one.
Love my 6year old blue heeler… tho she probably could use more exercise!
I just got a blue heeler/ German Shepard mix, he’s 3 months old. Anyone have advice for general training. He is not food motivated. Not a bad dog just stubborn lol love him to bits. He’s a fast learner but at the same time stubborn about things 😂
My boy just turned 9 he was really up and go type personally but over time and some health issues he has slowed down, even so keeping his mind busy is the most important thing for him I believe. He’s never peed in the house or don’t ante info wrong really, hands down the best dog I’ve ever owned. I got him when he was two and he took too me rite away since then it’s just me and him vs the world. His favorite thing too do is go fishing with me, he will stand in the water all night and wait for a fish too bump into him! He’s had luck caught 3 in his life lol he also I fearless besides gunshots and fire works. Will put a 150lb Rot in his place but summits too a little 3 lb dog. So I’m short, keep them busy is a must not an inside only type dog. And yes unfortunately he goes too the vet often with issues. Most being hard too find issues such as an inflamed liver or broken nails seem common with him being so active. One more thing, as tough as they are these dogs are really big babies when it comes too being hurt and he’s trained too sit in a certain part of the house and let me know when he’s hurt. Very smart pals. Also very very defensive at home or in the car. Food for thought If your on the fence about getting a heeler.
I have two blue Heelers I love them so much! they are brother and sister they do will together they love to play with each other they are very busy! will the female does well with not nipping or biting the mail likes to grab with his mouth I'm trying to teach him not to do this but if he really wants your attentions he will gently grab your arm and pull you they're both wonderful dogs but I never leave my grandchildren alone with them they like to heard and they can be rough they're working dogs they are hi energy dog's probably be better with older children they keep me busy good companions the one is very jealous over the other one when it comes to me I do take them separately on walks and out shopping my sister owns a pet store that welcomes dogs it's called Pat Watts they love to go in there and look around I am 62 years old and my health is not good though I do walk them I got the two of them so they could keep each other busy and have exercise by playing together my parents always would get two dogs usually from the same letter these dogs like to have companionship with another dog so it works out great they also love my cat she's a big Coon cat good size 30 lb so she can hold her ground pretty much with them they love to snuffle her my fur babies are the greatest nothing like a Blue heeler💕
Cute blue heeler tho :D
I will name this girl blue heeler tho ;)
Best Companion and Guard, sheesh
My BH Dusty loved frisbee at night with a led light when it was cooler in the summer time !
For a job i let her go with me in the back yard and i just had to say watchem and she was in protect the yard mode , she had a rabbit trapped at the fence once and just looked back at me just long enough for it to escape on purpose lol !
No one could shake my hand across my fence or Dusty would jump up and nip them !
The new addition, a three month old, is super smart. But we are still working on reducing the biting and nipping. Hoping this habit will calm down once the teething is over with. He doesn't know his own strength and bites really hard! Trying to discourage this habit without being mean or negative to the pup is a true challenge! This is my 3rd one in the last 30 years, and the most agressive one in the nipping/biting/heeling, so far. One of the best breeds I have ever owned, besides dobermans.
Thanks for sharing your report.
If you would just hold its mouth shut when ever it bites and tell it no biting it will get the message .We have 2 heelers one is pure blood and she is mama's girl and very protective of her and the other is a crossbreed and she is Dads little girl and a joy to have and doesn't do the heeler things like the other.The trick above is what the mother does to train her pups .
Yes, I do the same thing, to hold mouth shut and your scold command, I use eh-eh, as in no, no. It worked. Shes 13 now and I went thru all those stages. Wouldn't trade for world. Great advice here
@@waynemeyer710 I tried that with my heeler and it only makes her mad. She's 16 months old and very stubborn, still working on not jumping up on counter and mouthing. She knows she's not suppose to do it cuz all I have to do is give her evil eye and she put all four on the floor. I taught her place, sit, down, off, watch, come, wait and come by momma. So dang smart but also so dang stubborn. Love her to pieces!
I definitely have the time and patience to to spend with the dog. Years ago doing hay I remember those dogs used to run alongside the tractor literally all night long it was impressive. Although I've been around working breeds my whole life I've never owned a healer. I'm curious how do you stop the biting and nipping
the job thing is way more important than just exercise. you will never truly tire them out
Magic Road Dog
He’s active , but takes lots of naps….Likes to be close to us, and so far, loves the attention of the grandkids, tho is in need of more training in the jumping and biting the feet dept!
When I look into the eyes of my heeler, I see a literal person in him. Like if he’s already telling me what he wants or wants to do. Idk how but I always guess right what he wants. Im with him all the time and when i’m gone my senior pitbull is his company so he doesn’t ever feel lonely. Annoys him a lot though lol
Never abandon them!
I have two of them one's a couch potato and the other ones energetic and they're close to the same age 3 and 2. We got the couch potato first.
My Heeler is 5 and still acts like he is a pup 😂😂
The herding, biting and nipping can be trained to be ‘mouthy’ playful. My experience.
I've had dogs my whole life..mostly German Shepards, love em. Rebel passed 2yrs ago. I'm retiring in the fall, and going on the road this fall, and getting a Heeler cuz room is limited. What I want to know is, I've seen them long/short legs, is one more prone to joint problems? And what are the pros/cons of male vs female, and red vs blue? Thanks for any input.
First of all, I'm sorry to hear about your loss of Rebel. It sounds like you have a lot of love to give to a new dog, and a Heeler can be a great choice for someone who is on the go.
As for your question about Heelers, both long-legged and short-legged Heelers can be prone to joint problems, such as hip dysplasia, which is a common condition in many breeds of dogs. However, reputable breeders will perform health screenings on their breeding stock to minimize the likelihood of passing on genetic predispositions to joint issues.
Regarding the pros and cons of male vs female Heelers, it's important to note that each dog, regardless of gender, will have its own unique personality and temperament. However, some general differences between male and female dogs can include:
Males may be more prone to marking their territory with urine, and can sometimes be more dominant and territorial than females.
Females may be more prone to mood swings and may be more protective of their owners and home.
Ultimately, choosing a male or female Heeler will come down to your personal preference and the individual dog's temperament.
As for the red vs blue coat color, there is no significant difference in temperament or health between the two. However, it's worth noting that some people believe that blue Heelers may be more prone to deafness than red Heelers. This is because the gene responsible for producing the blue coat color is linked to a higher incidence of deafness in some breeds. However, again, reputable breeders will perform health screenings on their breeding stock to minimize the likelihood of passing on genetic predispositions to deafness.
I hope this information helps you make an informed decision when selecting your new Heeler companion. Good luck with your search!
@@thecagdot thank you for your reply
Doesn’t help you at all. But I just got a 3 month old blue heeler/ German Shepard mix, such a beautiful dog but stubborn lol. Very protective and weary of strangers and anything suspicious
I have a 6month old blue heeler/ border collie mix. I got him from the shelter and had his DNA test done, I had to find out how big he was going to be. expectations is 50 pounds as an adult. I have a small problem with keeping him from biting my hands when we play. I keep reminding him and he looks very guilty when I say ouch. He is super intelligent, stubborn, and is constantly trying to out smart me.
9 month old Male, 54LBS! Actually a Red Healer.. with a Bow Tie on his Chest.. His Name is Tuxedo/Tux. His Father was a Blue Healer about 70 Lbs, Mom a Red Healer about 45 Lbs. We negotiated Tux's nipping since a puppy.. It was a big, long drawn out deal. Just never worked.. OCD maybe.. it's Hardwired. We settled on light Teeth play with me only. If he get's too tough, I pinch him back.. He constantly tests me, and respects an occaasional Kick in the ass, or a swat with a stick. Doesn't hurt.. just demeaning, he get's it. Guests are totally OFF limits with teeth play. His Nails are My Problem. . Best deal I could work.. his teeth are his hands. He hasn't broken the skin in a Long time.. so he's very very careful. It works.. But Not Optimal. He really understands, and is somewhat reasonable. He likes to fetch, for maybe 3 times, brings it almost back to me. He understands when I have to leave for a few hours and doesn't rush the door. For a while he'd fetch his Leash,. As a Puppy, he was a bit of a howler.. I howled with him, but eventually he became a very expressive Barker.. Very Sharp, Tones, Rhythmical, and Very Loud. He tries to communiocate with Dogs a few blocks away..
“Firmness and consistency” are not really my thing but I am awesome at praise, exercise and some training. I just can NOT pretend to not be excited when I see her…I don’t care if her butt wiggles and she gets a bit intense. I just can’t help it.
I have an 8 year old female blue, she's the 3rd heeler I've owned, I love the breed. Unfortunately she will b the last heeler I'll have only because I'm getting old and can't keep up anymore. My question is what do u go to after owning a heeler, what could ever compare?
I do have a blue healer and I do have a question about her I've had over seven years. She is so I don't know how to describe it but she's gotta be through the door first to the point where she will knock me over. Also when I open been her crate she just darts out and she just gotta check out everything and it's just a lot and I'm wondering if there's anyway to curb that behavior.
I got a blue healer and she is very destructive. I have had them in the past and haven’t had this issue. And when I try to play with her she gets scared sometimes. Idk what to do.
