[tikeyas_mom]

aussie cattle dogs and blue heelers are the same thing, a blue heeler is just a blueish ausrailian cattle dog, trust me. they come in red too.

If you weren't a member, you wouldn't be able to post. There must be another reason that you can't see the photos.

What do you mean "real" Australian cattle dogs? All Australian cattle dogs are "real." :confused:

A few years ago, I was driving on a rural road when the truck in front of me slowed and threw something out the window. I pulled over and found Ricky, a beautiful blue heeler. He was approx 5 weeks old. I kept him until about 7 months, but he was really unhappy in town. I gave him to a rancher and he is very happy there. He is the most beautiful heeler I have ever seen. His black spots were pure all the way to the skin. Darn it, I just saw some pics of him the other day and I can't remember where. I'll show you if I find them. He was similar to lovemyshiba's pic of Isabelle, but with more black spots.

That was Skidboot, the blue heeler. I loved him! He won the finals too!:D

[Mich]

Hey!, I saw "Skidboot" on 'Oprah' today here...Wow he is some dog? I liked the part where the owner rolled on the footpath along with him too, ha ha ha!

[Mich]

now we have "Australian Shepherds" here too. It is very funny, as they were first bred in America. They look like lovely dogs, like a cross between a scotch collie ( like 'Lassie') and something else. Amazing looking dogs.

SKIDBOOT RULES!!!!
one of my friend has blue heelers....we had a blue heeler/pit-bull/dalmation/boxer/mutt dog :D ,named Nana......and she was a puppy and tiny but she was strong....there was a pic of her on here sum where with a cat,she was black and white........

~Kay~

[Mich]

Yes, Heelers are amazing dogs. I have seen the ones in America do their job, and they are just as good as the Aussie dogs.

[CoolBabe22]

Skidboot is so cool!:D He was on PetStar on Animal Planet to!

[Tonya]

Ok, I found a picture of Ricky. He was such a beautiful pup! The vet said that he was a pure heeler. He said his ears were floppy from malnourishment. Lack of calcium that they get from their mommy's milk will cause the ears to not perk. By the time I gave him away, they were starting to perk but not totally. I mentioned it in a previous post, but I'll tell his story again. I was driving out in the country and someone slowed their truck and threw him out the window. He was approx. 5 weeks old. I kept him until about 7-9 months, but he was really unhappy in town so I gave him to a rancher.

[CoolBabe22]

:) Thanks for the replys!Great pics---very cute!!:cool: I have an idea!!:D Everyone that loves heelers and cattle dogs show your pride on this thread!!:D :)I LOVE BLUE HEELERS!! :)

[Mich]

I have to say a Very Big Thank You to Cattle Dog Mom for helping me. She knows what she has done, but I thought I should say Thank you. There are no true friends like people who own and love animals ......I have had heelers and many others, but this person has a heart as big as "The Great Sandy Desert" and I thank you Cattledog Mom, I really do. Regards Mich

Yes. That is one amazing dog. He was EXTREMLY talented and INCREDIBLY smart. I didn't know dogs came that smart. ;)=P

[Mich]

Neither did I Foam!! I saw him on 'Oprah' one afternoon......and I missed 1/2 of the show, worse luck, but what I did see was amazing.

You have to realise that the human comes into the picture, as without the devotion to 'Skidboot' by his Human, the dog would not want to do anything. So, that bloke must me a great bloke, and he must be such a wonderful person to have such an animal.
