ALL of those dogs were the the grittiest, smartest, SOB's I've ever been around in my life. My last dog had a 50 some odd word vocabulary. He was a clown and my "velcro" dog. Never needed a leash. Used to take him to the bars with me and he'd lay right beside me and follow me back and forth the restroom. NOBODY ever got in a vehicle I left him in and my wife was the only one that could come in the bedroom and wake me up if I was sleeping. He wouldn't even let the kid in. He'd bark and raise HELL but he never bit anyone to my knowledge. That old dog and I trucked together for ten years before I got married.Quote:

I taught him some manners pretty quick. He's smart, he's cute but he ain't "my dog".
Heelers will challenge you every day in some way or another. IF you don't give 'em a mission, they'll find their own and it more often than not is something you'd rather they didn't do.
I love 'em but probably won't ever have another. I doubt that I could find one that would be a better dog than my old buddy and I don't think it would be fair to another dog to ask him to try to measure up.

Oh yes, there is also a fish in the family and many horses who act like they are pets, but they're not.

AKA Blueys if you're talking about Blue Heelers Willie. And I do believe you are. I've had a few of those in my life too. The most loyest dogs around. Other dogs that are on a par with them are Kelpies (all types, not just the Reds). Most dogs have there only master as the food bowl, but them blueys and kelpies look to the human who feeds them as the real master.Quote:
