It is important to realise that the Blue Heeler has been specially bred for Australian conditions, for rounding up cattle and helping with mustering. Because it is bred to be a "heeler", it nips at the feet of the cattle to round them up, and so a cattle dog, or blue heeler, that is a family dog often develops the tendency to nip at people's feet to try to round up its "pack". It is not an ideal family dog unless there is both a large backyard and opportunity for it to get plenty of exercise. The blue heeler quickly becomes bored, as it is bred to work. The Blue heeler also requires firm but gentle, consistent handling. If contemplating getting such a breed, one must be prepared to invest in proper, professional training. It has a wonderful temperament, and is intensely loyal, but it must be taught its position in the pack or it will dominate the people around it.
