Jimmer Negamanee Report post Posted January 26, 2012 Congrats! (If I wasn't already at my 2-dog maximum I'd be getting a deposit to you. Zip has no quit in him and if Athena is half the dog he is you'll be getting some great pups!) Looking forward to the puppy pictures. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZbowhntr Report post Posted February 10, 2012 Awesome dogs. I grew up on a farm in Idaho and that is all we had. Best dogs I have ever seen. I'm sure you won't have any problems with the last two. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coues 'n' Sheep Report post Posted February 10, 2012 Sounds like I am down to one male.... Tails were docked yesterday... Vet said they never have seen such healthy/strong 2 day old pups everyone thought they were closer to a week old. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coues 'n' Sheep Report post Posted February 13, 2012 Had an interesting conversation with a friend (who has decades of dog experiance) that admitted to disliking this breed of dogs, having been around only a many ranch raised heelers that were very protective to the point of biting... ... she then admitted that having met my two she had a different oppinion, having seen that there was No bite tendencies in either of my dogs. I have been around many heelers that are not bite-ee but I found it to be all about the environment they are raised...mine will get so excited when they see kids that go nuts... absolutely love to play with the kids for hours. They are still great watch dogs and with a nipping reputaion most folks give them space witch I like. But our dogs live a domestic life not a barn life... they are in our trucks on a daily basis, in public, in the woods, and by our sides... that is what makes the perfect heeler IMO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coues 'n' Sheep Report post Posted February 17, 2012 Well the pups are just about to open their eyes and growing like weeds!! They already have some individual personalities...It dives Athena nuts when I handle the pups but I do it everyday anyhow... They are fun... their color is already starting to show a bit... but we still have serveal weeks before we can really tell much about that. Still have one lil' male for sale... everyone who has already put deposits on pups is counting the days. These pups are gunna be a blast in no time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
