Against my better judgement I got another dog yesterday. I think she's predominantly red heeler.

I've never had luck with those "I know someone who has a friend that has a dog that needs a farm to run" kind of things. Without growing up
around machinery and respecting it the worst always happens.

This one came from an old aquaimtance and is very well trained. She's got good respect for the equipment so far and is fairly well glued to my
hip. It's been a long time since I put down my last dog I felt was my right arm and she's kind of already taking that spot. The other dogs now go
everywhere but aren't really there for me first. She's got lots to learn but I think she'll be OK - as soon as she realizes the tractors aren't trying to
eat me and doesn't need to come unscrewed every time I start one. She's small enough to ride in the cab when I get the manure spreader
stuck (for you old timers)

I got my kids a border collie for Christmas a few years back and when I would go to work he would hang with dad at the farm. Now it's pretty much his dog and won't leave is side. Funny how dogs will attach them selves to a person.
 
Beautiful animal, hope she's faithful for a looong time! We've got two mixed breed Labs going on 11 years old in March. They're slowing down, but we'll keep them as long as we can!
 
Beautiful dog.

My border collie is 5 now, she treats running tractors like an animal, shut then off and she calms down.
 
She is a pretty good climber hanging on the wall that way. LOL ( Picture is turned on my computer)

Yes good dogs become family quick. I have always had dogs. I just feel more comfortable with them over the majority of humans. LOL I have a little female Shih Tzu house dog that is wherever I am in the house and she loves to ride in the car/truck. I then have two mix breed German Shepard type dogs that are mainly outside dogs. They sleep in the garage but if I am out side they are with me. They love to ride in the back of the pickup. They can sure jump. They can get into the back of my truck without scratching the sides. I have to watch taking them to town. They will not let anyone within 10 feet of the truck without raising cane, unless it is a kid. Then the kid could steal them and the truck. LOL
 
This is Alice. I think she's mainly red healer. She just the best buddy you could ask for. Very athletic and weighs about 40 pounds. She's got a fairly good vocabulary so I have to spell a lot of words. She's just extremely well behaved. But I don't think she would do well in town she does need room to run.

Mine just turned 5 also. He loved to herd tractors as well. Almost got him in the disc once. My dad wacked him with a belt a few times and that cured him of chasing tractors. Now dad can say belt when the dog is miss behaving and he stops.
 
Funny how that happens. My kids always said "It doesn't matter whose dog it is, they all end up Dad's dog". Just made me think about that.
