Good dogs that need a job to do, our they will invent one, like, do you the favor of pulling the carpet up so it's easier to replace. The Heeler moniker is because they will nip the heels of anything that won't follow directions well. It's just a friendly nip that means move along 'for I get serious.
They are territorial, and have a pack mentality. So if there are children or inlaws with children, make sure the puppies grow up with their scent, so that they belong in the pack. There must also be a pecking order established in the pack, early on or they will establish one for you. Probably not to your liking. They will from time to time challange the pecking order to make sure they aren't being left behind. And your still fit to be the pack leader. They love to rough house and will sound like Cujo is attacking, all the while the tail is furiously wagging, in anticipation.
They are super dogs for people that understand they are a working breed. Bred to stare down a 3000# steer, that don't want to. You will be hard pressed to find another breed that is as loyal and protective of the pack and territory. Forget this and you could regret it. Outsiders are not welcome, and will be warned shortly before being shown that the bared teeth meant stay away.
Once they get some age (7yrs or so) they calm down a bit, and quit tearing things up or digging holes in the yard. Remember, if you don't give them a job, they will invent one! They are not subdivision material.
We have the American version of the breed (Catahoula Leopard), and I did extensive reasearch on both. I'd have another in a minute. If you like to pig hunt with your hands, the Cat is your friend.

Today's Featured Article - Tractors and the City Boy - by Ken. A few years back I came to the conclusion that city life wasn�t for me. The houses so close together you could hear the neighbors fight, traffic so heavy speed limit signs meant nothing. So I started looking for the ultimate country setting. After many months I found the perfect place, off the beaten path, up a private � mile drive, old stone house which has stood the test of time, out buildings which haven�t stood the test of time, trees, birds, rabbits, and snakes. This is the place! Bought
