The are hardy working dogs, but in the later years have become compainion dogs to the elderly. They will proform to the peak in a one on one relationship.
If kept as a pet must be within the home at all times. These dogs are not to be left unattended.
Modern roles as trade mens dogs have suited this rough and tumble breed.
The number one trait of a Heeler is loyalty.
They are working dogs and must be worked.

Why must they not be left unattended?
When we moved - our new home had a large but unfenced in yard. Our Border Collie could not be as active as before. I think the inactivity was part of the reason that he became ill and we had to put him to sleep. It was heartbreaking.

Because they are working dogs, they need to be working, guarding or herding. Having a dog breed solely to work confined to a backyard, they develop behaviour problems, these dogs are crossed with dingos (wild dogs) they are pack animals.
They can and will turn aggressive if not handled by a person that understands the need of the animal.
I am mostly against average person owning working dogs, because they are not a toy.
The farming area is where they are best suited, running the sheep.
Border collies have been so inbreed most of the nature abilities of these dogs are gone.
Heelers are still true to their breed and nature.

Very interesting.
Inbred or not our Border Collie was a lovely dog. ;)
Super Intelligent. Easy to train. Beautiful. Gentle with all animals and humans.
I still miss him. :'( The breeder was actually going to put him down - for whatever reason. So my Father brought him home to my Mom. We had just lost a dog we had for many years. So we saved his life and he brought great joy to ours.
Kiwi:
Inbred in the dog breeders world, is the dogs are breed sister to father, they are looking for looks of the dog, not its working ability.
There are two types of dogs, show dogs and workers.
This is the basic breeding code all over the world.

I understand.
I don't paticularly care for dog breeds and dog breeders. >:(
So many dogs without homes...waiting to be adopted. :'(
All the same - our Border Collie was the best. He was smart as a whip.
If I had the right circumstances - I would adopt another one.

This is the site I often checked before we welcomed Beethoven home.
Check out the dogs available for adoption. They are just beautiful.
