(3,310 posts)Our eldest is half cattledog (her dad was a Blue) and have bench springer. Heelers are extremely intelligent, brave, and very loyal. What a friendship that family is missing out on.
Eldergirl is my partner's retired service dog. If it wasn't for her, he might not have made it these last 12 years. We're training up a border collie now to take her job (nobody can take Dora's place). For all the love, care, and watchfulness Dora has given, we're doing our best to give her the most comfortable, happy, and carefree golden age a dog can have.
You can tell we adore our herders and heelers; we've a house-full. Thank goodness we're blessed with 3 fenced in acres to let the go out and run off the energy. It's amazing how they take turns playing and watching over my partner; they work their stuff out amongst themselves. They're amazing creatures and give back so much love.
Of all the people in the world I know, I trust my dogs the most.
