I had several mixed breed dogs and GSD's before we got our ACD female. She's next level up in anything. Great dog. The only thing I don't like is her shedding, boy her hair is everywhere.
Recently I bought a 7 year old blue-heeler, I had him for 3 day's great dog, but he wasn't use to children, my 3 year oid son went down to him in his dog house and the blue heeler bit him on the face, we decided he wasn't safe.... I really enjoyed the dog, came with me in the logging truck and was my shadow... we're interested in getting another one but younger, did I make the right decision in getting rid of the older dog cause of the one incident?
My red girl immediately took on foster mum role to my wild born orphan dingo pup from the moment he arrived, like she knew where he came from. Now they're inseperable two years later.
@@fasteddie9201 mine helped us with our pup and a stray cat. when she got old she had problems walking and would end up having accidents at home. seeing her sad eyes always broke my heart. was like she was telling me how sorry she was, so I would just clean it while reminding her it was ok and no one had to know
@@Jerseybytes2 My last blue girl was the hardest loss to watch. She was 12 when a sudden super aggressive lymphoma quickly restricted her eating and drinking until eventually she was unable to swallow. It only took 5 weeks from first symptoms to the day I had to say goodbye. Love ya Bes. Run In Peace now baby girl and feel no pain.
@@fasteddie9201 her and my other dog (part rottweiler) were super protective of me. was like, "must protect the clueless furless human" After he died I adopted a 7 year old Shepherd / border collie. she was the absolute best. These days I have a goofy border collie and a German Shepherd pup (5 months) who thinks the bc is a genius so she copies everything he does. the cats aren't impressed with the exception of one who thinks the dogs are HIS dogs so they take naps together (this btw, was the cat the blue healer dog and the rottweiler raised together since he was a stray kitten) I know my husband misses them as well, specially the part rottweiler one since that was his favorite baby from day 1. I know this since he bought a sign that says, "beware, rottweiler on duty" alongside a "beware, border collie on duty" ("beware, border collie WILL herd you at all times" would be more appropriate, but oh well lol)
NO NO NO to apartment living. Don't even put that out there... because there are ppl out there who are stupid enough to try it, and it'll end up in tears.
I've had my last two in this apartment and if they've been house trained and learn not everyone appreciates their high pitched yap to let you know when a leaf blows past the window absolutely no problems at all. Mind you mine have a fully fenced secure full yard with dog friendly residents living here so they're out until they want in. Also I have an off leash surf beach two k's long behind my fence, open the back gate and they're in the water almost. I also have a wild born orphan dingo and as long as they get their yard time, decent beach run as well as taking them with me when I can they are happily playing tugowar inside together with their destroyed toys or snoozing on the lounge. Completely different if you are not prepared to take them out for days on end.
