I have a 6mth. old red heeler/ boxer mix and so far she has been very cute! They need LOTS of attention because they are very active and playful! It took us about a month to potty train, and they DON'T have a large bladder. They are very curious and follow at your heels regardless of how many times you tell them not to. Overall, very loyal, and protective enough to bark when people approach the house. We have trained her to do tons of tricks, way before she was even potty-trained! (Including when she goes to pee she rings a bell..haha) We LOVE her!
Australian Cattle Dog, Queensland heeler, red Heeler, Blue heeler,
A red Heeler is just a red Heeler it isn't mixed with anything. Australian Cattle Dogs aka Heelers come in two different colors red and blue.
All dogs appreciate affection. If you own a red heeler, you should pat it - but not when it's eating.
Red Heeler puppies can be bought from local breeders. The Kennel club will be able to provide a list of reputable ones. Alternatively. you could ask a local shelter, who may have an older Red Heeler available for rehoming.
when there in season because they have to be in season
They are in fact the same breed--just different names. You may also hear them called a blue heeler or red heeler depending on their color.
German Shepherd's are a lot stronger than a red heeler.
Australian Cattle Dogs can also be called Queensland Heeler, Blue Heeler (dogs showing the 'bluish'gray and black coloring), and Red Heeler (reddish colored dogs.) Stumpy tailed versions are sometimes referred to as Smithfield Cattle dogs, but in fact the Smithfield heeler is another breed again, with a different shaped body.
A red heeler is a medium sized dog with orange/red markings/spots all over its body. they can be aggressive and are very good watch dogs. if you see one in public DO NOT PAT IT the chances of it biting you are about 7 out of 10 so DONT PAT IT!
To get purple, mix red and blue. To get orange, mix red and yellow.
Gestation is the pregnancy of an animal. In heelers it is usually 56-72 days.
they're either called flashy or fancy , they can either be a fawn (tan) or brindle (black and either red or fawn).
