- Cowboy and I are still honing our herding skills but I am confident he will turn into a herding machine! His drive and willingness to please are there - just a matter of me knowing how to teach him.

Well done, I admire your commitment to your best mate...most faithful one man dog on earth...cheers from Australia đŠđșđŠđș
Oooh. A red heeler. Best dogs ever!
My red healer was the most incredible dog I have ever had. She lived 17 years. I found 2 stumpy tail pups that are now 12 weeks old and they are chomping at the bit to go to work already. My Texas ranchito has animal's all around us and I can see them processing it and soaking it all in. Amazing to see natural instinct at its finest. Not so amazing is when trying to walk around the house in socks You have beautiful dogs and they look happy happy happy.
It's good you had your red heeler for that long. The oldest recorded dog was a cattle Dog here in Australia aged 29 years.
I just got a second cattle dog almost a month ago. Unlike my other dog, she is very mellow and reserved, but the previous owners had sheep and said that she was too rough with them. Given her personality, I found that hard to believe........until the 80 lb pit mix from across the road came over to play and my new dog herded her off the property rather quickly with ferocious heel nipping
Beautiful Australians herding dogs
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed watching you both working with those sheep. I love the way you're taking his strong cattle dog herding instincts, and teaching him a bit of a different way with sheep.
appreciate it!
Itâs wonderful that you allow your ACD to fulfill his basic instincts. We became the parents of a rescued female Red Heeler, but we live in a suburban environment, so allowing her to fulfill her herding instincts is difficult.
What a team, you two work awesome together, so fun to watch. Appreciate your comments regarding the âdownâ and how itâs help you succeed with this.đđŒ

It looks like the scared sheep go to you for safety and follow you! He sure seems to love it, very cool work by both of you!
we both enjoy it :)
Nice Red đfrom Australia
My sheep dog is an inside guy. Border collie mixed with Queensland, he loves to herd things up lol heâs always trying to herd our feet in the house.
He's a cute pup! Works very well, too!
Very cool vid. Love seeing Cowboy work. You can tell you have a great relationship. I'm pretty sure my boy would win "most vocal" in class (he's so loud when using a herding ball). I've also got $5 that says my pup would eat more sheep droppings than the rest..lol. I've got my work cut out for me, but love seeing what vids you have put out so far. My fave cattle dog CZcamsr!
haha that's how our Lab would be - vacuum for sheep nuggets lol
I just got 2 stumpy tail pups. Their now almost 12 weeks old. My place is full of deer, so there's droppings everywhere. I'd be happy to take that bet because these 2 become Hoover vacuum cleaners at every spot.
I like cattle dogs. I'm working on getting a cattle dog. Good video.
OMG! Let's go Cowboy!!!!
Cowboy!! Youâre the best. Love watching you work.
đ€đŒ
Awesome job Cowboy.đđđ
thank ya!
Omg I just love Cowboy đđ€ đ¶
Thanks for sharing! He loves to work.
he does!
Impressive! Thanks for sharing!
WONDERFUL JOB!
That pup at 45 seconds could be my dogs twin.
Hey, I drove by that place! out in San Pasquale. on my way to get some soil at the soil place.
looks fun
Wish we had a place like this in SD to go to
Very cool!
Why does the Instructor sound like Vince Vaughn? Lol

Appreciate video good quality
I'm curious how hot it was and how long you were out there? I'm looking for my next dog and keep coming back to ACDs because of their supposed heat tolerance.
I canât see where youâve got the link for the down command đ§âïžAwesome job with Cowboy
I had my Aussie Jake working at a breeder who ran clinics.
Goats in a pen. Jake did great !
The problem was the owner was a covid long termer and had breathing problems.
I have vertigo and can't take more than a few steps backwards before it triggers my vertigo.
Need to find a good work around.
That's funny my first ride here when I was a kid's name was cowboy... He was a bad ass little dog but he was too gamey.. he was always fighting other dogs and Chase the cows back and forth all day until I pissed off my dad enough that my dad took him and gave him away... I got a new one now
I would love to teach my cattle dog to to use a herding ball. Dont suppose you could do a tutorial or recomend some
Live action đ đ
nice dog
Would be nice at the beginning of the video to say where you are what state what county thank you
Is there a similar place near the Houston, TX area where herding dogs can practice? I have an older blue heeler that is very mellow and needs less exercise these days. Some day weâll get an ACD pup and Iâd love to train it in herding is possible. Agility is plan B.
I have a cattle dog who looks a lot like Cowboy however he is MUCH bigger. He as well as a beautiful Blue Heeler weâre dumped at my property. The red one âTiddoâ has attached himself to me. He also loves my husband. EVERYBODY else, he hates. He does listen to me but itâs always a scene when someone comes over or walks by the property. I have to move very soon and I cannot take these beautiful dogs. Can you please tell me if you know of any rescuers? I know if I give Tiddo over heâs gonna be put down because he is so aggressive. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
Perfeito!
San Diego California k9 action sports!
Why were the other dogs chained and put in pens?
I'm thinking of booking my blue girl into these kinda classes.. we have down mastered too I don't even have to say down I just point down with my finger. It's so handy
Highly highly recommend! So cool to watch them work
@@diydogguy she gets to watch the horses and nip the ponys from the other side of the fence she knows she's supposed to do something with them lol
Can they herd chickens or ducks or are they too rough for them?
depends on how well the dog is trained. It is possible, but more common to see border collies doing that than heelers
Never say never but I would go with a gentler herding breed
Hello,excuse me, could You explain in another video how a dog can be taught to herd cattle since it is a puppy
Pleas
Hey! I will do my best to get a video on herding out soon!
Thanks bye they way tour videos are cool
I can't imagine how satisfying this is to the ACD. It's what they want to do. You dont have to ask. They just do it. You just have to steer them. This is equivalent to a police dog getting to chase and bite bad guys.
Is he a papered heeler?
yes AKC
Very nice dog,
Why are the dogs chained?
waiting their turn to herd, they are not on chains for long
Is it just me or is his blue heeler a bit short
he's 18" at the shoulder. breed standard according to akc but he is certainly a stocky guy lol. doesn't affect his endurance though...those legs can go all day
Yeah they are cattle dogs not sheep dogs. Sheep dogs like collies are supposed to be a lot gentler
I was in Los Angeles visiting my son I had my Australian cattle dog with me. I was at a grocery store and I saw a lady who trained service dogs she had a standard poodle with her so I asked her if those are really the smartest dogs in the world she said no she said the smartest dogs in the world are definitely Australian cattle dogs.. went on to tell me that they're not actually fully canines that there a canid... Which is something between a wolf and a dog being that they have a lot of dingo in them. They started out as dingoes but they were bred with cattle herding dogs. Because they needed to be able to get through the harsh desert of Australia and fight off the dingoes to protect the cattle that's why they put some bulldog in the breed... Probably why they're so f****** tough.. my healer weighs 35 lb.. my neighbor has a big ass black German Shepherd it was on a chain constantly barking my dog all day my dog is getting so pissed off you just stand there staring at it... Every single time he gets a chance he breaks through the gate and attacks that dog and throws it on its back and beats the s*** out of it
Just run around in a circle
We in Autralia do not use cattle dogs on sheep.. they bite and render the sheep unable to find fodder. Cattle dogs should be working with cattle not sheep farmers use kelpies for that collies are rarely used watch some videos on kelpie the are magic
Folks are well aware of kelpies. For proper herding most folks start on sheep to build control and foundation before taking to cattle as cattle can easily kill a dog. There are folks that let their untrained cattle dog out to chase cattle from the field in. That isnt real herding. Rushing and nipping is a very green dog thing to do, ive seen plenty sheep bred border collies do it. Every dog needs a bite and as a farmer with multiple types of stock, i dont want a different dog for each stock i want one or two good dogs i can take around with me and work. Ive seen talented cattle dogs working every type of stock. Geese turkey cattle sheep goats. A dog that cant learn his stock and is only good for one kind is a very poor specimen indeed. Fact is in Australia the cattle dog is mostly a show dog now. I only know a handful of operations using them at all/breeding for working talent. In the usa folks are still breeding for the work. Of course the working style and tendencies will be different but a good dog can and will learn. Folks that just have sheep and want a dog to work would have a much easier time training a border collie for the work but if you want a dog with more grit and are willing to put in the work an acd is fine for sheep work as well. Any dog too hard/rough/etc. I would not keep regardless.
@@ZDanimations That's why they are called Queensland/Blue Heelers in the state of Queensland Australia where I live! They were developed to muster wild cattle on remote cattle properties, the size of small countries! Heelers will run into the thick scrub behind wild scrub cattle and nip at the heels and get them moving, so they can be mustered into a trap or cattle yards!!! They are to rough for sheep and quiet breeds of cattle! They still use them in remote Far North Queensland, in the Gulf of Carpentaria where I hunt for wild boars to muster scrub cattle.
@@jasonclark950 im aware of what they are bred for. I own, work, and show mine. I work mine on cattle, sheep, goat, everything and I visit working ranches to watch their dogs work and work my dog as well. A lot of people have a lot of opinions but unless you are out there actually doing the work then your opinions dont mean anything. I know a few big operations in aus that use a combo of acd and kelpie and no one desires a dog that flies in and bites without thinking, it's bad breeding and a waste of money bc it'll be a dead or lame dog after a few stupid moves.
@@jasonclark950 the few operations that use acds still import their studs or semen from europe or the usa, that's the poor state of the aus cattle dog "heeler" in australia. Good on them for improving the work in their lines but everyone has this mythos and if you dont breed for it you loose it. As I said, tbey WERE bred for it but now adays breeders are sure dropping the ball.
Theyâre to short in the leg!
Those sheep are dog broke.
