The heeler was a result of crossing Dingos with Collies and other sheep/herding dogs-credit is given to George Elliott who developed the breed in 1840 and they originated in Austrailia. They are excellent herding/cattle/working dogs. And they also come in red-known as red heelers, where they still have white haired roaning to their usually short coat.
Blue Heelers, also known as Queesland Heelers or Australian Cattle Dogs originate from Australia. They were bred to help farmers herd their sheep, cows, and other livestock. Some people believe that they originated from dingos mixed with Dalmatians, Smooth Collies, Bull Terriers, and the Australian Kelpie, plus other breeds here and there.
Blue Heeler is another name for the Australian Cattle Dog.
Yes. It is just two names for the same breed of dog. The Blue Heeler/Queensland Heeler is also known as the Australian Cattle Dog.
Blue heelers are short, silver colored dogs from Australia. The word "blue" comes from their coloring, which tends to be a silverish that can look blue in some lights. The term "heeler" is referring to a class of herding dog breeds that are short, like the blue heeler. Heelers usually herd cattle, and they do so by nipping at the cow's heels. They re bred to be short so that when the cow kicks at them, the cow's feet will fly over the dog's head.
border collies, Maltese, Aussie shepards, and maybe the blue heeler.
no they do not. And if the dog does it can not b shown in dog shows.
Cats can get along with any animal they are raised with, it is not limited to only Blue Heeler dogs.
I have two Pomeranians and one Blue Heeler. The Blue Heeler is a medium size dog and the Poms are smaller than the Blue Heeler. All three dogs have gotten along well. If you socialize the dogs slowly and train them properly, most big dogs and small dogs will do well together.
Australian kelpie and Blue 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.
