Joseph I'm sure there's a dog out there that needs you. I adopted to Jack Russells that most awesome dogs in the world I had to put down three Jack Russells in the last 10 years but. Trust me it'll heal your heart
@@TheRelger Many years ago I had a lovely beagle named Molly, she stole my heart, unfortunately cancer stole her from me, it took me 12 years to attach myself to another dog, and then I realized what I had deprived myself of.
Wow, my heeler saved my life when I seriously I was taking my last breath. July 27, 2014 back highway nowhere Wyoming. Had been stranding and trying to find help in 90+ mph winds. On a bridge over rr tracks a semi trucks passing wind literally pick my 135 pound up and blew me over the side. I went over and fell, they told me '65, I landed on a cement slope, and all I felt was unbearable pain. I didn't lose consciousness, and knew they would never find me, tried to move. I knew it was the end, actual said "God save me or take me home", as I was drowning on my own blood. I heard Pepper barking above, just thankful he was alive but didn't realize he was busying saving me. Somehow he had stop one of the few passing cars and had somehow convinced them to call the state trooper, and then convinced him I was down below in the darkness. He called rescue, all unknown to me at the time. Soon I saw lights, shining down but they couldn't find me. Then one threw a light and it slid down the slope and I was able to stop it with my unbroken arm. Then the whole crew came down. They got me to the top and the officer told me my dog saved me. I was prepped and put on what they called a fixed wing aircraft - didn't really see it. I was flown 300 miles to Swedish Hospital here in Denver. 107 broken bones, a collapsed lung. They said I had lost my complete blood volume and surviving on little pockets of blood. 3 weeks in a coma, 26 screws, 2 rods and 2 plates. Broken pelvis, back, neck, ribs, left ankle, left wrist. Sad, I never saw Pepper again. He'd been given away because no one told animal control that I survived, they didn't believe I could have. My recovery was amazing. But I still shed a tear every time I think of him.
Thanks for your story.what you went thru I can’t imagine..I hope you are doing well now ..I lived and worked around blue healers on a remote cattle station in the kimberlies in Western Australia in the early 80s and experienced how tough and resilient they are and extremely protective ..☮️
My story isn't as crazy as yours. I just got kicked out of my home by my ex fiancee and she wouldn't give me time to find me and my heeler a place so she gave him away. His name was Winston and he was my only friend back then haha. Turned my world upside down when she got rid of him. He's a lot happier now without me though.
I had a blue healer and she was such a great dog, and amazingly tough! Someone's German Shepherd got testy with her, and she instantly knocked it off it's feet and onto its back. Then did the same thing to a great big Malamute totally shocking the owner. No matter how big the dog was she would try to push them down with her nose and assert dominance. Very loyal and protective. She would read my body language. I was jogging and 2 guys stepped out of the darkness suddenly and I took a step back momentarily. That was all it took. She jumped at them twice sending them back peddling and I could hear her teeth loudly snap each time, but she never bit them. Just backed them off. She could go from snarling at a threat to wagging her ass being friendly if I just said "say hi". She did 40 mile mountain bikes with me in Oregon, and rode ocean waves on the back of my kayak. Best dog ever and I will always miss her badly!
@@EVERGLOW828 Without wishing to be impolite or negative I'm sure God had bigger issues to deal with, like the whether to oversee the extinction of tens of thousands of creatures he once thought were a good idea and then changed his mind. Ensuring that we had dogs as companions was very considerate of him/her. Dog and human evolved together symbiotically for mutual benefit. 'Pupper' was indeed fortunate to find a human that shared a bond as strong as the poster describes, but what does God do about the millions of dogs that meet entirely different fates not worth mentioning? How blessed are they to be at the hands of us, or God? Two sides to every coin. With respect.
@@paulmckenzie4291 God gives us free Will to take care of this land and it’s animals. God will have a place for those who are Cruel and evil. Also let’s not make this about you, I was giving condolences to someone who lost their beloved family member. Go read the Bible and get answers for yourself. With respect of course…
@@EVERGLOW828 I assume the huge irony of your reply is intended because all the evidence suggests we aren't exactly doing a cracking job of looking after the land and animals with our god-given free will, are we? Quite the opposite. I'm sure there's some twisted biblical logic that explains the greed, destruction, violence, hunger and suffering but the facts speak for themselves. As far as making it about me I'm not the one imposing my beliefs without invite. Sanctimony. Read the dictionary, you'll find the meaning.
this dog's body language says otherwise - he chases them until they turn against him, then he runs away; rather typical, instinctive behavior; still a smart dog
I had a blue heeler he didn't have any training but he knew when to attack if someone or something dangerous was coming up and boy howdy was strong one coyote he bit into he almost revealed his ribcage while killing it but then many years when we were moving from Oklahoma to Oregon we had to give him away to another home. I MISS HIM.
@@smbchc No thats what he was told to do and a normal trait of a dingo , gunshot at the end was after the owner let him pull them out .Heeler is an Australian cattle dog we have everywhere here on farms . Bit Feral , but a Fierce and super smart Dog .
I've seen a Bluey convince a huge angry mickey bull (never been yarded before) that going in the yard was the safest course of action. First he grabbed it by the nose, but the bull tried to smash the dog into the railings, so he darted around and grabbed it's back leg, hard, and hung on for grim death while the bull kicked wildly, dog flapping like a flag in a high wind, until the bull bellowed loudly and bolted towards the opening, bluey snapping at its heels all the way. As soon as the gate shut the dog came prancing back towards us, tongue hangin out, looking for someone to heap praise on him. A unique character.
Yes, they are not called 'heeler' for nothing. Very 'hard' dogs, mostly, they can be too hard to work with some cattle, but great with ornery ones, and that's what they were bred for.
@@Jesse-B they are at their very best flushing mean bulls - they seem to thrive on the danger. They are truly fearless and amazing doggies. I’ve seen one kicked by a bull so high - he flew twenty feet up - the river brush was too thick to get my horse in - but that heeler dove in and got the job done and was pretty proud.
Witnessed this myself recently, 2100 lb bull got out and old Synch didn’t even wait for the door to open, out the window chasing his ass back in, he knows afternoons are feed instead of hay and would have came back willingly but she gave him motivation to do it now
@@Jesse-B nah it wasnt a game to the dog she was runnin em out of energy knowing theres 2 she wanted to keep em moving dogs arent dumb they know how to wear out an opponent
Rescued a blue heeler from dog pound in 2001ish. 9 weeks old, found in a field alone. She spent 13 years with us, had to put her down in 2016. Hands down the most loyal, fearless, smartest dog I have ever had. She was a bit crazy, real stubborn, but smart as a whip and no doubt would of laid her life on the line for my wife, son or myself. I miss my Scribbles...RIP girl.
@@MPjustaman Not yet. Moved to another state last year, mom passed last year so have not had the opportunity. We are considering perhaps later this year looking for another.
I lost my heeler. It was a sad day. He was the most agravating dog I have ever had and I have had many. The two things he loved most was my wife and my pickup truck. My wife and I had to spell the word truck when used in our conversations if "Peppy",our heeler, was around or he would go beserk! He was my buddy and I miss him more than I can say!
Sorry for your loss sir. Lost my bluetick hound about a year ago and I still miss him badly. Guess I always will... And that's ok I never want to forget him. Others will live in his name i can promise you that. Hope you have found peace. Blessings
I had blue heelers for 20 years. My last lived to 16 years 10 months. They are hard, hard work for the first 4-5 years but incredible dogs if you have patience and energy. Super fast and agile, protective, loyal, stubborn as a mule, highly intelligent. I still love them so much, in my heart for life.
My son had a blue heeler/Aussie shepherd mix for 14 years. Incredibly smart, loyal and athletic. Great trail dog -- tireless. Best frisbee catcher I ever saw!
I worked as a vet tech during all 4 years of college. The practice was in farm country and many of our clients had heelers. They are strong-willed, athletic and courageous cattle dogs that are truly relentless. This video is the epitome of the breed. Those coyotes are child's play to her. Good job, pup!
I have a cattle dog mix. He's mixed with something big and is 70 lbs. He is not athletic, and not fast at all. He is however, RELENTLESS. Energy at all times of the day. He gets tired sure, but can turn it back on immediately. He is never the first one to stop playing. He may not have gotten the agility of an ACD, but he got the energy, and I love it haha.
Due to age and disability I am now a blue heeler owner. I used to have a Belgium Malinois or Pitt my whole life. After one year of owning a blue I consider myself blessed. Great dogs.
my belgian mal passed in october last year. almost 15 years. she was program failure. have my daughters pit mix now. bring my blue boy pup home this weekend. my sister has two and works with them. more then excited to get to work with this boy. it seams alot of mal owners either have worked with healers or have transitioned into owning one.
@@matthewvankay4709 They are great dogs. The biggest difference I can tell from a mal vs blue is a mal will more instinctively protect and blindly follow commands. A blue tends to be more settled and are independent thinkers once mature. However my blue was already full grown and set in her ways when I got her. They are good dogs but I have never raised nor trained a blue like I have my mal and pitts. Congratulations and good luck on your new blue dog.
@@raymontes2307 true. But I have never seen a dog so in tune with their owners thoughts and emotions like a Heeler. Once they bond with you, its unmatched by any other breed as far as I can tell. All friends are great, but Heelers are quite unique. That's made it difficult to find another. Enjoy your blue. I have No doubt he is a very big part of your family. Best companions.
Farmer let his dog work before at the very end he took the shot. It appeared the coyotes had a den nearby that they would not abandon otherwise the dog would have run them off in the first encounter. Too many coyotes and they start hunting domestic livestock. Too few coyotes and the varmints like groundhogs, mice, rats, etc overrun the farmland. Balance is critical.
I was visiting a friend who owns a Blue Healer. During the night I got out of bed to visit the toilet. It was pitch black as I headed back to the sofa upon which I was sleeping so I shuffled very slowly in the general direction of the sofa. Unknown to me as I approached the sofa, Dakota the Blue Healer who was sleeping with me, very gently took my hand in her mouth to guide me the rest of the way to my bed. I was astounded and decided then and there I must have one of these dogs one day.
my family had a red heeler when i was growing up that lived to be 17. When she was 8 or so she jumped our 6ft concrete fence (we lived in the suburbs) and then came back to the front door two days later, we were astounded, they are extremely intelligent dogs.
Make sure to teach them obedience, that's the only thing about heelers. Theyre incredibly intelligent dogs so if they don't have good training they can be quite willful. Aside from that they love learning, I mean it's amazing. Teaching tricks to heelers is easy as can be. If you get a heeler and you're loving, attentive and on occasion firm... You cant even imagine how loving and loyal your heeler will be.
I ended up adopting a heeler/border mix thinking it was a lab mix. Best friend I've ever had she's so intuitive, friendly, and social. Out of all the recues I've lived with in my life she's the closest I've had to a real human compaion. My advice i+s invest in training its very rewarding I hope you find your heeler!
I have a blue heeler and we worked at a guest ranch in Yellowstone a little bit ago. She chased off a damn grizzly bear from the corrals.....craziest dog I’ve ever had. She’s so smart and brave.
My cattle dogs save my butt so many times. Today my red ran down one and bit it on the butt. I don't know but those dogs and the yotes have there own way of communicating. They are smart! I figured they would save me from bears as well.
Lol I couldn't stop laughing cuz it was like the healer was just laughing like "slow ass hahaha hey come here, oh you gotta be faster than that" lol and he looks right at you every time with that pup smile of "I did good". Very well trained.
If those coyotes wanted to, that dog would be dead. They are the second fastest wild canines in the world. Reaching speeds of up to 42mph. Only rivaled by painted dogs who can reach speeds of up to 45mph.
@@joolsmacgrools1288 Coyotes are damn intelligent. Why do you think they're all over NA. They're also no pushovers. They're just overshadowed by other animals because they're the underdogs in their habitat, along with bobcats.
Had a cattle dog as a kid. A cat couldn't be found and the dog was casually instructed to find it with zero expectation that she would. A while later the dog comes trotting back down the driveway with the cat following a short distance behind.
They're deceptively strong for only weighing fifty pounds at most. Powerful, agile and clever dogs. They're not for everyone, but damn are they smart and loyal.
My best friends family had a blue. I was there the night they brought her home, and it took lass than 15 minutes to train her to kennel up! 10 more minutes, and pepper was kenneling, and pulling the door "shut"... I knew she was going to be special! She lived to 16, and was the best pal two boys could ask for... She knew the difference between papas slipper, and mamas slippers. Knew the tv remote from the vcr... She flossed hed teeth after dinner. I also glove trained her, but that was just a game we played... She would bring you the glove, and you were in for it... She could wear out a whole pack of us kids, and have energy to spare! Edited to say now you got my eyeballs leaking thinking about her...
The blue healer I had back in the 90’s would have killed them both quickly. They would have looked like two plates of spaghetti and meatballs. He never retreated for any reason. He took out a badger once, a much more formidable foe. The bobcat ordeal scared me the most. But I’m bragging, and that sucks. Cool video, thank you for posting.
@@christhompson3750 I was never saying the heeler could take them down. My reply was simply about the stamina. A heeler could run them until they literally couldn’t run anymore as heeler have ridiculous amounts of stamina
Yes, the dog is protecting his two-legger. I love dogs. We have 2 useless mutts; we love them a lot. I'm convinced either of them would do anything to protect one of us. LOL - not as effectively as a blue healer, Im thinking.
I love my red healer! No matter what I am doing or where I'm at he's always behind me watching, and making eye contact with me. There's nothing like a good dog!
Amen! To the great dog comment. It always amazes me when someone will try to play up an obviously useless dog as great. When it is obvious that their dog, even though they love it and I respect that, does not come close to a real handy, dog like these Heelers, or Border Collie's, or Australian Shepperd's.
I’ve had heelers all my life and can read their body language. He was loving every second of this. One big game. He just needs another red or blue next to him to finish them suckers off for good like his human dad did.🇦🇺
Yeah I had a good laugh, looked just like my Red when he's being a pain in the balls pestering other dogs.. Love cattle dogs, don't see myself ever having any other breed!
The book of Romans tells us that “All creation groans with anticipation” for the Earth made new. Why would they desire it if they couldn’t be a part of it? Both Luke and Matthew tell us that our Heavenly Father knows how to give us gifts better than our own parents. He will reunite you with your dog. Let us all remain faithful until that day. Blessings to you and your family.

My first healer and I got into a fight with two drug dealers and their two pit bulls. We won. These are amazing dogs. My current aussie is a real hoot. They are so loyal to family.
The pity is that they have more right to be there than the dog, yet they get shot, what’s wrong with live and let live. It’s where this world is going soo wrong
There's a scene in Mel Gibson's Road Warrior movie where his Blue jumps on top of a rock and stands off against a bad guy to protect the injured Road Warrior and he takes an arrow for him. Its an infuriating and sad scene but for anyone who's owned one, there's absolutely no doubt their Blue would do the same! At 70 I don't have the energy to own a Blue right now but when Snoop was alive we did everything together. She's 15 years gone and I still grieve.
That actual dog was about to be put down and they went to the dogs home saved him and he spent the rest of his days after the film on a farm to a caring owner
Unless you see one of those dogs in action for a full day you can't appriciate their cardio and endurance. It is off the charts, and it looks like it just ran these coyotes until they where totally exhausted. I have seen one that was only two year old, and had never seen a cow before. He ran right at about 20 cattle pipping at the heals and in 10 minutes had all 20 or so fully rounded up! This dog followed us on mountain bikes for probably 10 miles running in circles while a springer spaniel just following the springer was exhausted 3/4 of the trip and the heeler showed no slowing down at the end of the day.
Had a blue healer. Max. Awesome dog. Us kids were on the porch one day playing and 2 pit bulls came towards the porch. Aggresdive. They were not planning to be nice. Within 2 seconds Max had one on his back by the throat and the other one ran off. As soon as we all got in the house max let the pit go and he ran away and didnt even think about stopping. In a million years he wouldnt have been able to outrun max. But max just came inside. Needless to say he got lots of pats on the back that day.
DOGFIGHT! 2 vs 1. Lots of loops, rolls, exotic maneuvers. Both had each other's six at several points of the encounter. One enemy bandit taken out by allies ground fire. Outstanding video. Bravo
Notice how she is consistently coming back to check on her handler throughout dealing with the coyotes. My heeler does this, always an "Okay mom are you good? Cause I'm good! I'll be right back just gotta handle this" These dogs truly have hearts of gold
And if it was a German Shepherd would you nag at people to say mutter instead of mom cause it's German. It's a breed that's been around for like 200yrs, it might have originated in Australia but guess what the breed didn't stay there. Sheesh.
My heeler does that also, will constantly circle back and check on me (also looking for instructions) and then go back to business. VERY intelligent dogs.
Nobody should ever underestimate a Heeler. They are extremely powerful, smart and cunning. They can turn on the Dingo side of their breed when they want to. This dog was gaming the coyotes and the coyotes knew they were being had. Great video. Blue is an awesome dog.
The guy filming should have taken the shot when he had it, yes the dog had it under control but the heeler baited both into great shots on multiple occasions
agreed , I love my heeler . that mouth is deceptive , it looks small then just morphs into a hellish thing 4 times the size when any living creature enters my yard.
Our Red Heeler female was attacked a few years back by two coyotes. They caught her by her back legs, but she was able to get away from them. While the coyotes continued to chase her, she ran across a road and under a passing car without getting ran over by the wheels. She then turned back and gave chase to the coyotes. Despite having serious injury to her legs from which she recovered, she has never failed to challenge the coyotes on our farm.
I have had the privilege to own 2 Blue Heelers in my life at different times. Incredible dogs both of them. Loyal, hardworking, never give up type of breed.
My Australian shepherd lab mix would call our cats home. I'd ask him where is Mojo? He'd bark out into the neighborhood and Mojo would come running. He was smart and protective. But he was so kind and gentle.
My Aussie Shepherd, Mitsy, had to go check on her horses every morning but there was also something else down there I never figured out what, probably rats/mice judging by the owl's poop, but it was close to the road and she got hit. It was my dog n my dad had my 10 year old self make the call on a huge vet bill or... 44 years ago n I remember it like it was yesterday. Me, 2 brothers, horses, motorbikes, endless fly balls n grounders n we could not wear that sweet dog out!
iAnarchist Not only that, but they also share many traits with Dingoes, including one that no other breed of dog is capable of like being able to rotate their head a full 180°.
@@rapiid2812 I speak from experience as someone who's owned both a Red Heeler and two German Shepherds. They're both excellent herding dogs, but Heelers typically have a better temperament.
I don't know, Australian shepherds are pretty great themselves! Had an Aussie but I've never had a Healer but I've been around a lot of them! I would take either!
Bow hunting in Ca 40 yrs ago ,my stepbrother & I got treed by two blue healers ,I was laughing so hard I couldn’t believe what was happening .Then the cowboy who was rounding up the cattle whistled and they instantly left ,I was so impressed I’ve had them ever since ! Best dogs ever !
I have had the privilege to live on 40 acres bordering a small river in Northern Minnesota for the last 21 years......When I first moved to a rural setting, I was of the belief that all beings great and small deserve the chance for existence. I still feel that way. For the first 7 years or so, no predation problems. My ex and I kept a mixed flock of poultry: laying hens, meat chickens, ducks, turkeys, and geese. Then it happened: we had about 30 birds disappear in 3 days.....a fox was the culprit, and I liquidated him with two shots of #2 steels. That was the beginning. See right about then the fur market tanked overseas.....trapping became very expensive......you couldn't even cover the cost of fuel to justify putting out a line......Then we just couldn't keep livestock.....After the fox, came the coyotes....They would raise a litter of pups every year, and you could hear them every time they brought down a deer.....then the coyotes moved out, and the wolves came.....I came upon them killing a good sized, healthy whitetail buck in my backyard.....snarling, I could hear the ripping flesh....the big male leader, he charged me, and I missed....federally protected or not, all I could think about was my two boys being stalked as they walked the 1/4 mile to the school bus pickup......So....I had to leave off free ranging poultry. I just couldn't keep it around....I image that I have lost 200-300 birds from 2007 to 2015.....then I just gave up.....last year I raised 11 turkeys to butcher weight, but had to keep them completely enclosed. They weren't afforded the opportunity to free range and ate commercial pelleted feed....and tasted that way....Nature abhors a vacuum. The pack of wolves, that I mentioned earlier, made the mistake of taking out two yearling bulls from a neighboring cattle operation.....The federal trappers liquidated the whole pack. It took about a week for the coyotes to come back. And still I can't keep livestock. So, I have lost birds to coyotes, fishers, raccoons, feral & domestic cats, and dogs. The value of a good dog is priceless, and I can sure understand why that rancher took a shot...because that same pair of coyotes would smell the blood and placenta of a new born calf, and they gotta' eat......so does the rancher.....what I don't understand is why he didn't shoot them sooner?
My granddaughter has a blue heeler , when she visits my homestead she brings him . My Ridgeback and him chase each other all day . These dogs can run 20 miles straight, get a drink of water and run another 20 . You dog was having so much fun 😂
My dog of 14 years went to that pound in the sky last November. I am in the process of moving and won't get another until I have a permanent residence. Maybe 2 this time. Dogs are God's s gift to man.
She had two of them contained by the house a few weeks ago and I was able to get the kill on both. Coyotes seem to be coming out from everywhere here lately.
One of the most sensible dogs there is, loyal, full of energy, protective without having to tear to pieces. They know how to warn predators not to mess with them and will do it all day if necessary.
Bell's a smart working dog. Those coyotes are trying to lure into the long grass so they get the advantage. She was smart enough not to fall for it and was waiting to see what her master wanted to do. You can almost see her asking "are you going to help or what ?". Heelers can be a handful when young but quickly become incredible and essential members of the family on any farm. They become a love story many have written books about. If they could do the dishes after their dinner they'd do that for you as well. Never had a dog with better animal management skills, with the smarts not to go overboard with aggression unless necessary. Your heeler is the very definition of man/womans best friend.
Best dogs ever. I was lucky to rescue my dog Sadie, who just died at the age of 16. She was an adventurous, fearless and faithful companion. I miss her everyday.❤️
Cow Dogs are the most Loyal, Hard Working, Smart Dogs a Man Can ever Have for a Partner. Did you see him looking back waiting for the Man to take the shot after he’d worked the Coyotes? Good Dog!
Had to have my old blue heeler put down yesterday due to old age. This video brought tears to my eyes remembering what an incredibly loyal and intelligent mate he was. Still have my red heeler-he’s a total twerp.
Coyotes wont have den in a field or technically by one. I've seen this type of thing before. A pairing or mated couple would stay near each other when attacked like that. They would huddle almost or go back and forth attacking as they going in a direction direction away from the dog. If there was a den, those coyotes would have aimed to kill probably together.
@@mera2494 Looking down, on top of a valley i have seen pups with parent coyotes taking care of them inbetween two farmers farmed fields, looked like the den was close by, as I could not see the pups at first. 6 pups. In Western Canada.
Not uncommon to see a den in the draw that s not tillable other wise the would have lead him over the hill were he would be out flanked by other pack members they are extremely smart , healer most likely flushed them from there den they would normally be down until dusk .I’ve had a few dogs come home looking like they were run over by the swather
I grew up on a dairy farm we had several blue heelers Texan and Australian. GREAT dogs . Kind of surprised that the blue did not get the yote she was pretty close. 0:15 . All the time watching this vid I was waiting for the thud for the yote to take a nap. Yep I had a big grin on my face at the end. Hope you helped the 2nd one take a nap!!
My friend had a dog for 14 years that was part coyote and part blue healer ,he was found in the CA desert crossing the road by himself,he was as big as the palm of your hand at the time,he had the blue heeler head and bone structure,but the fluffy tail and beige color of the coyote.
Nice shot at the end. Just saw this three years after the fact. Your Blue is a hell of a dog. Kept the two Wiles occupied until you had your shot. Nice!
My mom's heeler just had 6 little blue puppies. Well they're white, they don't start out blue or red, They get their colors later but they are starting to get their little blue specs now. I am so excited about getting one of them. They haven't yet opened their eyes. I am anxiously awaiting that moment.

It's truly something 99% of ALL U.S. inhabitants know NOTHING about- the raw deadly aggression of coyotes.

I had a blue heeler for 14 years. The longest and most successful relationship I ever had. He passed several years ago, and I miss him every day.
That’s the problem with dogs. I’ve buried 3 in the last few years.
Don’t have the heart to get another one.

Wow, my heeler saved my life when I seriously I was taking my last breath. July 27, 2014 back highway nowhere Wyoming. Had been stranding and trying to find help in 90+ mph winds. On a bridge over rr tracks a semi trucks passing wind literally pick my 135 pound up and blew me over the side. I went over and fell, they told me '65, I landed on a cement slope, and all I felt was unbearable pain. I didn't lose consciousness, and knew they would never find me, tried to move. I knew it was the end, actual said "God save me or take me home", as I was drowning on my own blood. I heard Pepper barking above, just thankful he was alive but didn't realize he was busying saving me. Somehow he had stop one of the few passing cars and had somehow convinced them to call the state trooper, and then convinced him I was down below in the darkness. He called rescue, all unknown to me at the time. Soon I saw lights, shining down but they couldn't find me. Then one threw a light and it slid down the slope and I was able to stop it with my unbroken arm. Then the whole crew came down. They got me to the top and the officer told me my dog saved me. I was prepped and put on what they called a fixed wing aircraft - didn't really see it. I was flown 300 miles to Swedish Hospital here in Denver. 107 broken bones, a collapsed lung. They said I had lost my complete blood volume and surviving on little pockets of blood. 3 weeks in a coma, 26 screws, 2 rods and 2 plates. Broken pelvis, back, neck, ribs, left ankle, left wrist. Sad, I never saw Pepper again. He'd been given away because no one told animal control that I survived, they didn't believe I could have. My recovery was amazing. But I still shed a tear every time I think of him.
wow. bittersweet * chills *
Thanks for your story.what you went thru I can’t imagine..I hope you are doing well now ..I lived and worked around blue healers on a remote cattle station in the kimberlies in Western Australia in the early 80s and experienced how tough and resilient they are and extremely protective ..☮️

My story isn't as crazy as yours. I just got kicked out of my home by my ex fiancee and she wouldn't give me time to find me and my heeler a place so she gave him away. His name was Winston and he was my only friend back then haha. Turned my world upside down when she got rid of him. He's a lot happier now without me though.
I had a blue healer and she was such a great dog, and amazingly tough! Someone's German Shepherd got testy with her, and she instantly knocked it off it's feet and onto its back. Then did the same thing to a great big Malamute totally shocking the owner. No matter how big the dog was she would try to push them down with her nose and assert dominance. Very loyal and protective. She would read my body language. I was jogging and 2 guys stepped out of the darkness suddenly and I took a step back momentarily. That was all it took. She jumped at them twice sending them back peddling and I could hear her teeth loudly snap each time, but she never bit them. Just backed them off. She could go from snarling at a threat to wagging her ass being friendly if I just said "say hi". She did 40 mile mountain bikes with me in Oregon, and rode ocean waves on the back of my kayak. Best dog ever and I will always miss her badly!
I know that loss, very sorry. Sounds like an awesome buddy!!
Amen! God Blessed us with mans best friend, she sounds like an amazing pupper. 🙏🏽♥️🌈
@@EVERGLOW828 Without wishing to be impolite or negative I'm sure God had bigger issues to deal with, like the whether to oversee the extinction of tens of thousands of creatures he once thought were a good idea and then changed his mind. Ensuring that we had dogs as companions was very considerate of him/her. Dog and human evolved together symbiotically for mutual benefit. 'Pupper' was indeed fortunate to find a human that shared a bond as strong as the poster describes, but what does God do about the millions of dogs that meet entirely different fates not worth mentioning? How blessed are they to be at the hands of us, or God? Two sides to every coin. With respect.
@@paulmckenzie4291 God gives us free Will to take care of this land and it’s animals. God will have a place for those who are Cruel and evil. Also let’s not make this about you, I was giving condolences to someone who lost their beloved family member. Go read the Bible and get answers for yourself. With respect of course…
@@EVERGLOW828 I assume the huge irony of your reply is intended because all the evidence suggests we aren't exactly doing a cracking job of looking after the land and animals with our god-given free will, are we? Quite the opposite. I'm sure there's some twisted biblical logic that explains the greed, destruction, violence, hunger and suffering but the facts speak for themselves. As far as making it about me I'm not the one imposing my beliefs without invite. Sanctimony. Read the dictionary, you'll find the meaning.
He’s clearly been trained to pull them in the open. Smart dog.
this dog's body language says otherwise - he chases them until they turn against him, then he runs away; rather typical, instinctive behavior; still a smart dog
I had a blue heeler he didn't have any training but he knew when to attack if someone or something dangerous was coming up and boy howdy was strong one coyote he bit into he almost revealed his ribcage while killing it but then many years when we were moving from Oklahoma to Oregon we had to give him away to another home. I MISS HIM.

I've seen a Bluey convince a huge angry mickey bull (never been yarded before) that going in the yard was the safest course of action. First he grabbed it by the nose, but the bull tried to smash the dog into the railings, so he darted around and grabbed it's back leg, hard, and hung on for grim death while the bull kicked wildly, dog flapping like a flag in a high wind, until the bull bellowed loudly and bolted towards the opening, bluey snapping at its heels all the way. As soon as the gate shut the dog came prancing back towards us, tongue hangin out, looking for someone to heap praise on him. A unique character.
Yes, they are not called 'heeler' for nothing. Very 'hard' dogs, mostly, they can be too hard to work with some cattle, but great with ornery ones, and that's what they were bred for.
@@peterh1875 I guess what stood out in my mind was that the dog was never angry at any point, it was all a game to him.
@@Jesse-B they are at their very best flushing mean bulls - they seem to thrive on the danger. They are truly fearless and amazing doggies. I’ve seen one kicked by a bull so high - he flew twenty feet up - the river brush was too thick to get my horse in - but that heeler dove in and got the job done and was pretty proud.
Witnessed this myself recently, 2100 lb bull got out and old Synch didn’t even wait for the door to open, out the window chasing his ass back in, he knows afternoons are feed instead of hay and would have came back willingly but she gave him motivation to do it now
@@Jesse-B nah it wasnt a game to the dog she was runnin em out of energy knowing theres 2 she wanted to keep em moving dogs arent dumb they know how to wear out an opponent
Rescued a blue heeler from dog pound in 2001ish. 9 weeks old, found in a field alone. She spent 13 years with us, had to put her down in 2016. Hands down the most loyal, fearless, smartest dog I have ever had. She was a bit crazy, real stubborn, but smart as a whip and no doubt would of laid her life on the line for my wife, son or myself. I miss my Scribbles...RIP girl.

Have heelers, daughter breeds them ferocious little pkgs
@@MPjustaman Not yet. Moved to another state last year, mom passed last year so have not had the opportunity. We are considering perhaps later this year looking for another.
Best dog breed on earth!!!
I lost my heeler. It was a sad day. He was the most agravating dog I have ever had and I have had many. The two things he loved most was my wife and my pickup truck. My wife and I had to spell the word truck when used in our conversations if "Peppy",our heeler, was around or he would go beserk! He was my buddy and I miss him more than I can say!
Loved my blue heeler, she was my service dog for 11 years, Sadly she passed away, I now have a boarder collie. Loyal and loving animals both.
I have both a border collie and blue heeler. They are an interesting crew to live with seeing how they differ but make it work.
An iconic Australian breed. Very faithful and fiercely protective. They are a breed partly derived from the dingo.
Yeah I was thinking to myself the blood of the Australian Vs the blood of the American
My blue healer just past last week, man do I miss him. He was a great companion.
I feel for you. They keep their paws on your heart forever.
So sad for your loss. I’ve had mine for 4 years now and wouldn’t know what to do without her
I’m so sorry for your loss 🕊🙏🏽❤️
So sorry for your loss mate.
Sorry for your loss sir. Lost my bluetick hound about a year ago and I still miss him badly. Guess I always will... And that's ok I never want to forget him. Others will live in his name i can promise you that. Hope you have found peace. Blessings
I had blue heelers for 20 years. My last lived to 16 years 10 months. They are hard, hard work for the first 4-5 years but incredible dogs if you have patience and energy. Super fast and agile, protective, loyal, stubborn as a mule, highly intelligent. I still love them so much, in my heart for life.
My son had a blue heeler/Aussie shepherd mix for 14 years. Incredibly smart, loyal and athletic. Great trail dog -- tireless. Best frisbee catcher I ever saw!
I worked as a vet tech during all 4 years of college. The practice was in farm country and many of our clients had heelers. They are strong-willed, athletic and courageous cattle dogs that are truly relentless. This video is the epitome of the breed. Those coyotes are child's play to her. Good job, pup!
Australian #1 cattle dog as other countries I'm sure
I agree. The dog was never in danger from the coyotes and did not deserve to be shot.
I have a cattle dog mix. He's mixed with something big and is 70 lbs. He is not athletic, and not fast at all. He is however, RELENTLESS. Energy at all times of the day. He gets tired sure, but can turn it back on immediately. He is never the first one to stop playing. He may not have gotten the agility of an ACD, but he got the energy, and I love it haha.

I just rescued a heeler lab mix a couple of months ago. He is such a smart dog and so loving and loyal. He stole our hearts immediately.
How is he?
Due to age and disability I am now a blue heeler owner. I used to have a Belgium Malinois or Pitt my whole life. After one year of owning a blue I consider myself blessed. Great dogs.
Well I’m sure you now know they are no retirement dog
Great dogs I’ve had blue Dogs since 1977 they are the best !
my belgian mal passed in october last year. almost 15 years. she was program failure. have my daughters pit mix now. bring my blue boy pup home this weekend. my sister has two and works with them. more then excited to get to work with this boy. it seams alot of mal owners either have worked with healers or have transitioned into owning one.
@@matthewvankay4709 They are great dogs. The biggest difference I can tell from a mal vs blue is a mal will more instinctively protect and blindly follow commands. A blue tends to be more settled and are independent thinkers once mature. However my blue was already full grown and set in her ways when I got her. They are good dogs but I have never raised nor trained a blue like I have my mal and pitts. Congratulations and good luck on your new blue dog.
Brother had a B.M. He trained it all by himself.
Brother had a BM.

Robert Byrns All friends do, but we have a Blue now and he is family. I can't imagine life without him. 😔
@@raymontes2307 true. But I have never seen a dog so in tune with their owners thoughts and emotions like a Heeler. Once they bond with you, its unmatched by any other breed as far as I can tell. All friends are great, but Heelers are quite unique. That's made it difficult to find another. Enjoy your blue. I have No doubt he is a very big part of your family. Best companions.
Yes, 15 years on and I still miss my girlie every day! Best dog ever - she was a blue with similar markings to the one in the viddy.
Robert Byrns Thanks, I will enjoy him. I'm sorry for your loss. Mylo is only 8 months. He's amazing.
Elise Kuby Sorry for your loss. Nobody but a true dog loving person could understand that bond.
Blue heelers are scary smart. The definition of true love and intelligence.
Farmer let his dog work before at the very end he took the shot. It appeared the coyotes had a den nearby that they would not abandon otherwise the dog would have run them off in the first encounter.
Too many coyotes and they start hunting domestic livestock. Too few coyotes and the varmints like groundhogs, mice, rats, etc overrun the farmland. Balance is critical.
I was visiting a friend who owns a Blue Healer. During the night I got out of bed to visit the toilet. It was pitch black as I headed back to the sofa upon which I was sleeping so I shuffled very slowly in the general direction of the sofa. Unknown to me as I approached the sofa, Dakota the Blue Healer who was sleeping with me, very gently took my hand in her mouth to guide me the rest of the way to my bed. I was astounded and decided then and there I must have one of these dogs one day.
my family had a red heeler when i was growing up that lived to be 17. When she was 8 or so she jumped our 6ft concrete fence (we lived in the suburbs) and then came back to the front door two days later, we were astounded, they are extremely intelligent dogs.
Make sure to teach them obedience, that's the only thing about heelers. Theyre incredibly intelligent dogs so if they don't have good training they can be quite willful. Aside from that they love learning, I mean it's amazing. Teaching tricks to heelers is easy as can be. If you get a heeler and you're loving, attentive and on occasion firm... You cant even imagine how loving and loyal your heeler will be.
I ended up adopting a heeler/border mix thinking it was a lab mix. Best friend I've ever had she's so intuitive, friendly, and social. Out of all the recues I've lived with in my life she's the closest I've had to a real human compaion. My advice i+s invest in training its very rewarding I hope you find your heeler!
I have one. Just the best damn dog I've ever had. He can babysit kids.
Omg that's the sweetest thing I've ever heard
I have a blue heeler and we worked at a guest ranch in Yellowstone a little bit ago. She chased off a damn grizzly bear from the corrals.....craziest dog I’ve ever had. She’s so smart and brave.
Wow! Cool story
Yeah bears don’t like dogs
They a very tough brave dog, and if fit can run for the whole day she’d have been at the bears back legs all day driving it mental 🤣🤣
My cattle dogs save my butt so many times. Today my red ran down one and bit it on the butt. I don't know but those dogs and the yotes have there own way of communicating. They are smart! I figured they would save me from bears as well.
@@annaday7308 they would die fighting before running off. They are a bit of a mental dog loyal to the end.
Such a beautiful dog. It's wonderful how she keeps looking back at you, knowing that you got her six. Hope she is doing well.
Lol I couldn't stop laughing cuz it was like the healer was just laughing like "slow ass hahaha hey come here, oh you gotta be faster than that" lol and he looks right at you every time with that pup smile of "I did good". Very well trained.
That and it’s one big brain vs two small ones
It was keeping them separated, wearing them down. If the owner wasn't there, you'd probably have 2 dead coyotes in the field.
If those coyotes wanted to, that dog would be dead. They are the second fastest wild canines in the world. Reaching speeds of up to 42mph. Only rivaled by painted dogs who can reach speeds of up to 45mph.
@@GenericDanfast but frail and cowardly. That Heeler is pound for pound stronger than the coyotes. Not to mention smarter.
@@joolsmacgrools1288 Coyotes are damn intelligent. Why do you think they're all over NA. They're also no pushovers. They're just overshadowed by other animals because they're the underdogs in their habitat, along with bobcats.

@@joolsmacgrools1288 I love em, but yes, not for everyone
My best friends family had a blue. I was there the night they brought her home, and it took lass than 15 minutes to train her to kennel up! 10 more minutes, and pepper was kenneling, and pulling the door "shut"... I knew she was going to be special! She lived to 16, and was the best pal two boys could ask for... She knew the difference between papas slipper, and mamas slippers. Knew the tv remote from the vcr... She flossed hed teeth after dinner. I also glove trained her, but that was just a game we played... She would bring you the glove, and you were in for it... She could wear out a whole pack of us kids, and have energy to spare!
Edited to say now you got my eyeballs leaking thinking about her...
The blue healer I had back in the 90’s would have killed them both quickly. They would have looked like two plates of spaghetti and meatballs. He never retreated for any reason. He took out a badger once, a much more formidable foe. The bobcat ordeal scared me the most. But I’m bragging, and that sucks. Cool video, thank you for posting.
Bless your blue healer's spirit, and your heart.
Aussie Blue and Red Heeler, nobody messes with you or your stuff with one or two around. Smart, loyal, protective, obedient, unreal stamina.
Yes the stamina is real... Its incredible the stamina of healers
Yeah I was amazed he pretty much wore out those Coyotes
Incredibly fast too
Didn't Mad Max have a blue heeler? I guess they are pretty tough then...

Amen! To the great dog comment.
It always amazes me when someone will try to play up an obviously useless dog as great.
When it is obvious that their dog, even though they love it and I respect that, does not come close to a real handy, dog like these Heelers, or Border Collie's, or Australian Shepperd's.
Red healers can be a bit crazy but in a good way.
I love this dog.
"There may be two of you,but this is MY neighborhood ".
I’ve had heelers all my life and can read their body language. He was loving every second of this. One big game. He just needs another red or blue next to him to finish them suckers off for good like his human dad did.🇦🇺
Yeah it was having a ball. One big game alright.
Get a pair of Great Pyrenes. Tree months and there won't be a coyote alive for ten miles.

There's a scene in Mel Gibson's Road Warrior movie where his Blue jumps on top of a rock and stands off against a bad guy to protect the injured Road Warrior and he takes an arrow for him. Its an infuriating and sad scene but for anyone who's owned one, there's absolutely no doubt their Blue would do the same! At 70 I don't have the energy to own a Blue right now but when Snoop was alive we did everything together. She's 15 years gone and I still grieve.
True friends are always in our hearts, forever. Species be damned. Most of my best friends never had hands.
That actual dog was about to be put down and they went to the dogs home saved him and he spent the rest of his days after the film on a farm to a caring owner
The Road Warrior is exactly why I will always own a Blue Heeler.
True, great movie great scene
Unless you see one of those dogs in action for a full day you can't appriciate their cardio and endurance. It is off the charts, and it looks like it just ran these coyotes until they where totally exhausted. I have seen one that was only two year old, and had never seen a cow before. He ran right at about 20 cattle pipping at the heals and in 10 minutes had all 20 or so fully rounded up! This dog followed us on mountain bikes for probably 10 miles running in circles while a springer spaniel just following the springer was exhausted 3/4 of the trip and the heeler showed no slowing down at the end of the day.
Love my stumpy tail Abbey. Got her from a small ranch in the middle of the desert in Arizona. Biggest sweetheart ever, amazing family dog.
The dog is having a blast. Heelers live for activity like this.
right my heelers would have so much fun doing this
I agree! There’s no real danger around so he’s just having fun
I was exhausted just watching him ridicule them.
yes they do,
He was playing with them.
If there had been livestock out there he would have killed the coyotes, protect the heard, that's his job.
Had a blue healer. Max. Awesome dog. Us kids were on the porch one day playing and 2 pit bulls came towards the porch. Aggresdive. They were not planning to be nice. Within 2 seconds Max had one on his back by the throat and the other one ran off. As soon as we all got in the house max let the pit go and he ran away and didnt even think about stopping. In a million years he wouldnt have been able to outrun max. But max just came inside. Needless to say he got lots of pats on the back that day.
DOGFIGHT!
2 vs 1. Lots of loops, rolls, exotic maneuvers. Both had each other's six at several points of the encounter. One enemy bandit taken out by allies ground fire.

I thought those dogs were seriously standing off from each other then I realise they were only playing
@LifeRegen classic. Theyll defend their family/ yard against anything
Notice how she is consistently coming back to check on her handler throughout dealing with the coyotes. My heeler does this, always an "Okay mom are you good? Cause I'm good! I'll be right back just gotta handle this" These dogs truly have hearts of gold
My bottom bitch does this all the time, extra treats or not.
And if it was a German Shepherd would you nag at people to say mutter instead of mom cause it's German. It's a breed that's been around for like 200yrs, it might have originated in Australia but guess what the breed didn't stay there. Sheesh.
The heeler is trying to seperate the two so it can go to work lol 🤦🏾♂️
My heeler does that also, will constantly circle back and check on me (also looking for instructions) and then go back to business. VERY intelligent dogs.
@@SegiDream it’s just a joke
Nobody should ever underestimate a Heeler. They are extremely powerful, smart and cunning. They can turn on the Dingo side of their breed when they want to. This dog was gaming the coyotes and the coyotes knew they were being had. Great video. Blue is an awesome dog.
The guy filming should have taken the shot when he had it, yes the dog had it under control but the heeler baited both into great shots on multiple occasions
agreed , I love my heeler . that mouth is deceptive , it looks small then just morphs into a hellish thing 4 times the size when any living creature enters my yard.
It's a wide primal jaw. My family had a great red named Rosey. I intend to have one when I have work to do for em
honestly best description ever
C J Mueller Two coyotes would kill that dog if they wanted to. You over estimate a domesticated dog vs two wild coyotes who kill for a living...
I have 3 heelers. 2 blues and a red. Wouldn't trade them for love or money.
I can see why. What a badass breed. He/she really appeared to be enjoying this
Great Aussie breed!🐶
Our Red Heeler female was attacked a few years back by two coyotes. They caught her by her back legs, but she was able to get away from them. While the coyotes continued to chase her, she ran across a road and under a passing car without getting ran over by the wheels. She then turned back and gave chase to the coyotes. Despite having serious injury to her legs from which she recovered, she has never failed to challenge the coyotes on our farm.
would you sacrifice them in a coyote fight?
Onya,m8. Well said.
She's got the makings of being a real good decoy dog! Good girl Bell 🔔 👏👏👏
I have had the privilege to own 2 Blue Heelers in my life at different times. Incredible dogs both of them. Loyal, hardworking, never give up type of breed.
My Australian shepherd lab mix would call our cats home. I'd ask him where is Mojo? He'd bark out into the neighborhood and Mojo would come running. He was smart and protective. But he was so kind and gentle.
My Aussie Shepherd, Mitsy, had to go check on her horses every morning but there was also something else down there I never figured out what, probably rats/mice judging by the owl's poop, but it was close to the road and she got hit. It was my dog n my dad had my 10 year old self make the call on a huge vet bill or... 44 years ago n I remember it like it was yesterday. Me, 2 brothers, horses, motorbikes, endless fly balls n grounders n we could not wear that sweet dog out!
That sounds good!
Hahahahaha love it! Dude is just having fun with those coyotes!
I have a blue heeler and he is pound for pound the toughest dog I have ever seen and I've seen a lot of dogs in seventy years.
They got dingo in them we use to uses them on cattle stations for wild bulls hard biting dogs
@@gumtreessaltwater6273 I got him to help me with the cows...they are fearless. He will kill anything that moves unless I tell him not to.
They are good dogs for cattle work . Check out bull Arabs they are hunting dogs my dog that just past was a bull Arab
@@gumtreessaltwater6273 It's a myth that they were bred with dingos. DNA testing has confirmed it.
iAnarchist Not only that, but they also share many traits with Dingoes, including one that no other breed of dog is capable of like being able to rotate their head a full 180°.
THE BEST DAMN DOG THERE IS...
RutherfordClan German Shepherd is also a great dog
@@rapiid2812 I speak from experience as someone who's owned both a Red Heeler and two German Shepherds.
They're both excellent herding dogs, but Heelers typically have a better temperament.
I never had one always hound dogs coon hound beagle bloodhound I'm interested in one of these seem pretty smart too
@@84montecarlonazi mines a blue heeler hound mix and he's awesome. Best of both worlds
I don't know, Australian shepherds are pretty great themselves! Had an Aussie but I've never had a Healer but I've been around a lot of them! I would take either!
dog keeps barking and looking back like, 'Dude, come back me up wtf???'.
That's what you call "running circles around them" That heeler will run them to death.
Best dog ever, they are so smart. she knows exactly when to move away or go in for a potential bite lol.
Bow hunting in Ca 40 yrs ago ,my stepbrother & I got treed by two blue healers ,I was laughing so hard I couldn’t believe what was happening .Then the cowboy who was rounding up the cattle whistled and they instantly left ,I was so impressed I’ve had them ever since ! Best dogs ever !
I have had the privilege to live on 40 acres bordering a small river in Northern Minnesota for the last 21 years......When I first moved to a rural setting, I was of the belief that all beings great and small deserve the chance for existence. I still feel that way. For the first 7 years or so, no predation problems. My ex and I kept a mixed flock of poultry: laying hens, meat chickens, ducks, turkeys, and geese. Then it happened: we had about 30 birds disappear in 3 days.....a fox was the culprit, and I liquidated him with two shots of #2 steels. That was the beginning. See right about then the fur market tanked overseas.....trapping became very expensive......you couldn't even cover the cost of fuel to justify putting out a line......Then we just couldn't keep livestock.....After the fox, came the coyotes....They would raise a litter of pups every year, and you could hear them every time they brought down a deer.....then the coyotes moved out, and the wolves came.....I came upon them killing a good sized, healthy whitetail buck in my backyard.....snarling, I could hear the ripping flesh....the big male leader, he charged me, and I missed....federally protected or not, all I could think about was my two boys being stalked as they walked the 1/4 mile to the school bus pickup......So....I had to leave off free ranging poultry. I just couldn't keep it around....I image that I have lost 200-300 birds from 2007 to 2015.....then I just gave up.....last year I raised 11 turkeys to butcher weight, but had to keep them completely enclosed. They weren't afforded the opportunity to free range and ate commercial pelleted feed....and tasted that way....Nature abhors a vacuum. The pack of wolves, that I mentioned earlier, made the mistake of taking out two yearling bulls from a neighboring cattle operation.....The federal trappers liquidated the whole pack. It took about a week for the coyotes to come back. And still I can't keep livestock. So, I have lost birds to coyotes, fishers, raccoons, feral & domestic cats, and dogs. The value of a good dog is priceless, and I can sure understand why that rancher took a shot...because that same pair of coyotes would smell the blood and placenta of a new born calf, and they gotta' eat......so does the rancher.....what I don't understand is why he didn't shoot them sooner?
I'm going to guess because it was an excellent opportunity to wear out his heeler and have a relaxing night after a hard days work. ;)
I'm only guessing here but maybe, it was a hands on (paws on) training session to keep his dogs skills sharp. That's why he let it go on so long.
One Great Pyrenees will take care of the Coyote problem. Two - even better.
I always wondered why air combat was called dogfighting and not birdfighting. It makes sense now. That pup was using tactics. Lol
My granddaughter has a blue heeler , when she visits my homestead she brings him . My Ridgeback and him chase each other all day . These dogs can run 20 miles straight, get a drink of water and run another 20 . You dog was having so much fun 😂
Every aussie knows never to mess with a blue heeler.....(aka Australian Cattle Dog)
Finally, I waiting for the shot to come. I wouldn't let them mess with my dog.
My dog of 14 years went to that pound in the sky last November. I am in the process of moving and won't get another until I have a permanent residence. Maybe 2 this time. Dogs are God's s gift to man.
I love Blue Heelers - they have the heart of a lion.
I love these dogs. So smart and so loyal.
I have a 14 year old blue heeler/collie mix and she’s been the best dog ever. Never growled at any of my kids. Just been a great all around dog.
Blue heeler verus two coyotes... It appears at the end there, that Blue healers are an excellent fucking shot :0
He’s Trying to separate them for the Kill. He is a Great Dog!
Their know to be quite intelligent
They still have a bit of that primitive dingo side,
Coyotes are actually too intelligent for that to happen
@@delta2461 some are not, my dog killed two coyotes bc she could separate them, the other one ran away, but the other two fell for her trick.
She had two of them contained by the house a few weeks ago and I was able to get the kill on both. Coyotes seem to be coming out from everywhere here lately.
One of the most sensible dogs there is, loyal, full of energy, protective without having to tear to pieces. They know how to warn predators not to mess with them and will do it all day if necessary.
Hahahahaha, that dog is legit. He set them up so nicely and then fully anticipating the shot!
she
@@private3364 oops ok, she is smart as fuck. Hows that...
Bell's a smart working dog. Those coyotes are trying to lure into the long grass so they get the advantage. She was smart enough not to fall for it and was waiting to see what her master wanted to do. You can almost see her asking "are you going to help or what ?".
Heelers can be a handful when young but quickly become incredible and essential members of the family on any farm. They become a love story many have written books about. If they could do the dishes after their dinner they'd do that for you as well.
Never had a dog with better animal management skills, with the smarts not to go overboard with aggression unless necessary. Your heeler is the very definition of man/womans best friend.
Best dogs ever. I was lucky to rescue my dog Sadie, who just died at the age of 16. She was an adventurous, fearless and faithful companion. I miss her everyday.❤️
That doggo is a tactician.
Knows what when where and how.. 💪💪👌👌
Here in Australia we call them "land sharks".
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought downunder you mates called them dingos!???
Cow Dogs are the most Loyal, Hard Working, Smart Dogs a Man Can ever Have for a Partner. Did you see him looking back waiting for the Man to take the shot after he’d worked the Coyotes? Good Dog!
The ending of this video was outstanding
he missed. a little less outstanding
@@Gantzz321 I played it at 0.25x speed... yote just dropped so no miss there...
She was like Hold My Beer dad, got a couple Yoty's out here I'm gonna play with them...
That ending was perfect, lol. I was thinking it the whole time, then it happened.
I watched the whole video and didn't realize the Blue heeler was packing a varmint rifle whole time
😏
She was a beast
Had to have my old blue heeler put down yesterday due to old age. This video brought tears to my eyes remembering what an incredibly loyal and intelligent mate he was. Still have my red heeler-he’s a total twerp.
Looks like they may be guarding a den.
I thought the same thing
Coyotes wont have den in a field or technically by one. I've seen this type of thing before. A pairing or mated couple would stay near each other when attacked like that. They would huddle almost or go back and forth attacking as they going in a direction direction away from the dog. If there was a den, those coyotes would have aimed to kill probably together.
I saw that too, a couple little heads popped up.
@@mera2494 Looking down, on top of a valley i have seen pups with parent coyotes taking care of them inbetween two farmers farmed fields, looked like the den was close by, as I could not see the pups at first. 6 pups. In Western Canada.
Not uncommon to see a den in the draw that s not tillable other wise the would have lead him over the hill were he would be out flanked by other pack members they are extremely smart , healer most likely flushed them from there den they would normally be down until dusk .I’ve had a few dogs come home looking like they were run over by the swather
I grew up on a dairy farm we had several blue heelers Texan and Australian. GREAT dogs . Kind of surprised that the blue did not get the yote she was pretty close. 0:15 . All the time watching this vid I was waiting for the thud for the yote to take a nap. Yep I had a big grin on my face at the end. Hope you helped the 2nd one take a nap!!
I was waiting for that "crack...thump".
The Blue Heeler was in play mode. Not in hurt mode. If the Coyote actually bit her, she would have gone for it and show who was boss.
Woooh. Our mans just warming up.. those coyotes can’t waste too much energy, they don’t eat regularly. Beautiful dog
Bell: “Catch me outside, how ‘bout dat?”
😂
LOL. Almost forgot about that.
Haha yeah. Heelers mean it too.
lol
My friend had a dog for 14 years that was part coyote and part blue healer ,he was found in the CA desert crossing the road by himself,he was as big as the palm of your hand at the time,he had the blue heeler head and bone structure,but the fluffy tail and beige color of the coyote.
Nice shot at the end. Just saw this three years after the fact. Your Blue is a hell of a dog. Kept the two Wiles occupied until you had your shot. Nice!
My mom's heeler just had 6 little blue puppies. Well they're white, they don't start out blue or red, They get their colors later but they are starting to get their little blue specs now. I am so excited about getting one of them. They haven't yet opened their eyes. I am anxiously awaiting that moment.
That heeler looks confused as to why nobody is shooting them when he brings them out of the ditch. Get on with it, CODY!
PTSD is a myth, at least in USA
Killing is in their genes, if you enjoy killing, no PTSD for you, get a job
@@vesko65 sounds like you have serious problems.
they are being shot along with the dog-with a camera.
what happened to you to make you feel so unlucky that you need to shoot and kill.
are you inbred or were you terribly abused and acting out on your impotent rage by killing whatever you can get away with killing.
@@piereb1748 It seems like you might be the one with a serious problem. There are plenty of good reasons to kill coyotes. "are you inbred or were you terribly abused and acting out on your impotent rage by killing whatever you can get away with killing." That can only be described as a pathetic question from a pathetic person.
Never mess with an Aussie Blue Healer. Best dogs. Tough as nails and no fear.
True dat!
Go the Aussie Blue Healer!
Was wondering when the farmer was gonna set shit straight
Playing with coyotes is like finding a rattlesnake at your feet while sitting on toilet.......
No negotiation.
It's truly something 99% of ALL U.S. inhabitants know NOTHING about- the raw deadly aggression of coyotes. I've learned NEVER be preoccupied when in the woods or on the edge of your property- they hang ferry away from your view and if they're hungry they'll consider humans without thought.
I've walked up on them laying 10 feet into scrub behind my barn
@@NW-dl3bb we’re in that predicament here in Winnipeg. I keep warning our authorities they need to be culled from our inner city park where they’ve been allowed to flourish. My big border-lab-Dane cross puts the run on them all the time. Smaller pets have been disappearing more frequent as they gain confidence, and just recently, some dog walkers are reporting their aggression
@@Krusty-kl5ej shith0le fake lying g0vt isn't the answer THEY'LL d0 nothing until a toddler is snatched .
THEY took YOUR guns. F
Them.
Thanks for replying.
PEACE to you
While watching your video I was wishing I could have been there with my AR. Then I heard your shot. LOL. Great job!
Mate you've got the Australia's best farm dog right there. Owned them all my life... they're smart, tuff and relentless they just about built our country.
Along with the kelpie. Both have a bit of dingo bred into them.
Funny seeing such an Aussie dog in another country. They are great dogs,very smart,high energy & protective. Back in the day every builders or farmers truck had a blue or red cattle dog riding shotgun.Nobody stole your tools!
God bless Australia for breeding heelers. I love these dogs, smart, loving, and the only dogs I've ever seen that can herd cats. Mine just drops on top of them as he zooms past. The cats instantly get the idea to stay ahead of him. 😂
@@notimportant4810 There is a lot of focus on another Aussie breed the Kelpie .They emerged as a distinct breed about the same time as the heeler with some similar blood lines. Kelpies are a bit gentler ,very smart,very trainable .They will run all day ,popular in off farm applications like obedience & agility comps. The best ones bring big $ in farming circles.
@@NELCARM I've seen pictures, but I've never seen one in person. I like my heeler's rough and tumble personality, he's a real treat even if he's hard on chew toys.
@@notimportant4810 get him a couple of the square interactive firearm targets to chew. The ones that look like a + symbol on all 6 sides. My Ranger went through all his chew toys within a couple days. I had this target before I got him, and it's still going strong almost a year later.
@@CrisAnderson27 thanks Cris, I'll do that. Great name for yours, mine is Ranger also.
Whats the flat topped mound in the background
blueys are so fearless
I had one for ten years and he would not back down to any dog.
my mate had a malamute that the bluey would just dominate,but then one day the mute had had enough.
Realising he was 3 times the size picked up raff(my bluey) and shook him so hard it was a total blur .Let's just say raff never picked another fight.
He was ok ,it just shook sence into him.
