Description
"Say hello to your fur‑ever best friend!"
I am a Blue Heeler puppy, also known as an Australian Cattle Dog! I was born on May 30th and I will be ready for my forever home on July 25th. I have been family raised on a farm in the country around children. I have had my shots and dewormers. I have been checked by a veterinarian. I am microchipped. For more information or to schedule a visit with me, please contact Karen Monday through Saturday. All Sunday calls will be returned on Monday.
My Mom is Misty a 45lb Blue Heeler and my Dad is George a 55lb Blue Heeler.
I will come with my vet and health records and a gallon sized bag of my current dog food.
The Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler) is a sturdy, medium-sized herding breed developed in 19th-century Australia by crossing dingoes, British herding breeds, and even Dalmatians. Working stock over vast, rugged landscapes, these dogs earned their “Heeler” nickname due to their instinct to nip at cattle heels. They typically weigh between 35–50 pounds and stand around 17–20 inches tall, sporting a dense, weather-resistant double coat that comes in blue or red speckled patterns. Puppies begin life white but develop their distinctive coat colors by about 4–6 weeks old.
With a sharp intelligence and impressive endurance, Blue Heelers are built to work—they thrive on at least 60–90 minutes of vigorous daily exercise, such as running, agility, or herding trials, paired with mental enrichment to keep boredom at bay. A well-exercised Heeler is content and affectionate at home; without enough activity, they can become vocal, destructive, or anxious. They’re loyal family companions but are naturally aloof with strangers and will alert to perceived threats. Early socialization and consistent positive-reinforcement training are essential to channel their protective instincts and reduce nipping.
Grooming is fairly low-maintenance: a weekly brush suffices.
