Why would anyone want a Blue Heeler Hound?

As of September 6, 2017 I became the owner of a female Blue Heeler named Nikki that will be a challenge for this old farmer. As of today, she is housebroke, but she is a "Wild Child" that needs a half mile walk daily.

Nikki is my first Blue Heeler and at 7 months old, she is a very loveable pup. We walk over the farm daily and she is a very good trail companion.

Bottom Line: I like my Blue Heeler and suspect we will end this last trek of life together.

That'll keep ya busy Adam, there's worse things to do. Nice that you have a farm and enough land to stretch.

Also got a new pup last August, but mine doesn't need the 1/2 mile walks, lol. Got a Dackel, or Dachshund, or as Americans would say a hotdog.

They are a good hunting dog, earth dog, and the name Dachs in German is Badger, these Dackels went down the fox and badger holes to drive them out. They are tuff little buggers with a very good nose

Best thing is, our Waldi has twice as good of hearing as me.

Viel spass mit Deinem neuen Hund!!

Dom,

I walk Nikki every day exactly 1/2 mile from the house 440 yards up to the hayfield and back. She is a very good watch dog and likes chasing rabbits, squirrels, etc. I feel safer with a dog around in this rural setting. There are many burglaries and home invasions reported each week in our weekly newspaper. I can hear "crickets in December" and Nikki has better hearing than I.

Nikki is our DEW LINE. You know, our Distant Early Warning device. LOL.
