The Two Types Of Blue Heelers and How They Were Created

The Two Types Of Blue Heelers and How They Were Created. The blue heeler also known as the australian cattle dog was created by two different people. First there was the halls heeler then the queensland heeler. Today we see just one heeler and call them a blue heeler or red heeler.

Who is watching this with the blue healer?

Im not a cattle rancher but I got a blue heeler to keep my 1000 pound mother-in-law in line.

I got so lucky finding my girl @ the Humane Society. She is the best natured, busy little girl I could ever have imagined. Their loss was my gain.. nobody claimed her so it was my lucky day..

Growing up on a ranch in Arizona, we have used them for years. My first couple were registered with the Rare Dog Association. I pray the AKC doesn’t ruin this breed like they have with every other breed they have been involved with.

An interesting point is that Heelers are born white. The Reds and the Blues are “interchangeable “ for lack of another word. Like with Labs. You can get black, Chocolate, and Yellow in the same litter. I have a 5 year old Blue female . Her father was a Red and her mother was a Blue. In the litter of 6, 4 were Red and 2 were Blue, including my dog. You can even breed 2 Blues and have some Red pups. 👍😊Good luck with your Heeler. I would never have anything else!

I lost 50 LBS keeping up with my heeler. Better than a gym membership

WHY?? Blue heelers and RED HEELERS can be in the same litter!! Why do people always do videos only on blues?? Why not do them on HEELERS or ACDs ... Like doing videos only on black labs and not golden or chocolate labs.... They're all Labrador Retrievers...

[rickyshultz]

I’ve had three litters from the same parents, both reds every litter had a blue in it !

[M-nerd]

Have me a blue heeler. He’s an absolute BEAST. I think he has a kill count of at least 5 other dogs. They were wild dogs. He’s also fought off coyotes before.

[nikkigussalazar]

Yes, I've never even heard of blue heelers before. A neighbor of mine bred them. We got one for my daughters birthday and also, we have 13 acres and wantedba family dog since our sweet coco (black lab) was no longer with us. He is so extremly smart. He's 6 months old now. He nips at the kids heels when i call them in from outside. Never hurts them but it comes so natural. It's so cool.

Great video. But there is another "blue heeler" breed. It is the Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog. I have had ACD before and recently lost my old dogs due to age and was ready to get 2 pups. They were advertised as blue heelers and we went to pick 2 out of 7 puppies from same litter. 4 pups were born without tails, the other 3 had very short tails. I got my pups and went home and researched because all ACD are born with tails. These puppies are different. They are as tall as their length unlike ACD which are shorter than their length. They also do not heel from the rear, they grab the front of your feet. This is how they herd cattle, from the head, not the nipping of the rear legs. Ears are closer together, and their colors are not muddled. They have red saddles and socks but zero red anywhere else. They do have the Bentley mark just like the ACD and just as smart. My pups are 6 months old now and just about have me under their control. I love it.

Great Video! They are the best dogs ever!

There are two SIZES of aussi cattle dogs too. One has a slim Longer body, long legs and muzzle with taller ears. Those are from the Dessert Dingo who need that body style for their environment. The other is from the Mountain Dingo. Shorter more Robust Muzzle, Larger Chest for more lung capacity, Shorter Stronger Legs and Shorter ears. I prefer the ladder as they are just a better all around dog. Besides, the first one I ever had was from that size...Dooley, , and he was DA MAN. LOL

I have a ACD and Australian Shepherd mix. She was a lot of work as a puppy not for the faint of heart. We also have a elderly Chihuahua sometimes they don't get a long other times they love eachother. I wouldn't recommend having both in the house. For us I wanted to rescue the ACD, she is so sweet and silly. It's a challenge with a small house and yeard but we have a great dog park. I really wouldn't have wanted her around babies but now that she's older and trained better it's manageable. I love watching her play with my kids. She is so friendly and loves other dogs. She doesn't like birds in her yard though😅. It's a never ending job clearing the trees, and air of them. I would love to have another some day when we have more room.

Proper name is, Australian Cattle Dog.

[markhill]

Actually this is factually wrong! The Queensland Heeler was created from a cross between the Halls Heeler and the Timmins Biter. The biter had a lot of Dingo, they used to tie out bitches on heat for the Dingoes to mate with. The biter was too rough with the cattle, so they mated with the Halls Heeler and thus the Queensland Heeler was born. My source is my Grandma, Emma Hall.

[jasonpotts]

Heelers are the best I love my blue girl she's the best

[alexandergotz]

I thought you were talking about McNiven‘s American "Australian Cattle Dogs". These dogs were actually quite different in nature from the show dogs in the ACDC

[rebeccahenry]

Love this piece. Only point I would like to speak to is the one hour of exercise daily....that is on the LOW LOW end. Realistically, 3 to 5 DAILY or my Heeler. Best birthday gift ever! Love u bunches DottieBug. But she HAS to run ...and run....squirrels, cats, and even bird dogs Hawks, etc. Great to keep critters away from my chicken coop!

[lindabloom]

I got a Red one. He is busy and nippy and smarter than me. I've had him for 4 years and he hasn't slowed down
