Blue Heeler Puppies For Sale

Family Raised Blue Heeler is a state registered American Cattle Dog breeder specialized in raising pure breed Blue Heeler puppies. We have owned and raised American Cattle Dogs for more than 7 years. The Australian cattle dog is a medium dog that stands at 43–51 centimetres at the withers and weighs 33–50 pounds. It has a hefty and compact body, yet demonstrates quickness and strength. It has a broad skull and moderately long head with terrier characteristics. It has expressive dark eyes and small prick ears. The ACD has a straight, short, and weather-resistant outer coat and a thick undercoat. Grooming is generally easy and is known to have a wash-and-wear coat. Bathing can be done when necessary, like when it is really filthy and smelly. Shedding happens in certain times of the year, so the occasional brushing of the short hair would become more frequent. This breed comes in all shades of blue or tan, whilst black streaks are only acceptable for very young puppies. Apart from maintaining its coat, make sure that other aspects of dog grooming are taken care of. This includes weekly tooth brushing, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and skin inspection for fleas and irritations. Keep grooming a positive experience and start a routine whilst your ACD is a puppy. The Australian cattle dogs is alert, playful, and affectionate. It is devoted to its owner and, more often than not, becomes clingy. It experiences separation anxiety when its master leaves. Developed as a pastoral dog, it is protective of its family and distant toward strangers. It does not think twice when it feels like it needs to protect its ‘herd.’ It generally gets along with children especially those it grew up with. The breed used to nip the cattle it herded and has retained this potentially dangerous habit. It still has a tendency to herd people, especially young kids who run and scream, and nip their feet. To lessen nipping and biting, proper training and supervision are required. In order for training to be effective for this energetic pooch, it should be in the form of games. Training will help adopt a routine different from its herding ancestors. Dog breeds do have certain predisposed characteristics. However, other factors like environment, training, and socialisation help build its overall personality, intelligence, behaviour.

About American Cattle Dog

The Australian cattle dog was bred by Australian immigrants in the late 1800s as cattle-herding dogs. This breed is actually credited to saving the beef industry as it had a precise way of quietly but forcefully herding intense wild cattle by nipping and biting their heels. This is the reason why it was nicknamed ‘the heeler.’ At that time, people had difficulty herding the wild cows in dangerous and big terrains. It was not possible to bring in herd dogs from cooler areas in their dry weather. People experimented with different breed combinations, incorporating the native dingo as it adapted really well to the Australian desert. A man named Thomas S. Hall crossed it with two imported blue merle highland collies. He called the offspring Hall’s heelers or blue heelers. The first documented breed standard was written by Robert Kaleski in 1903. The ACD’s main job was to herd up cows from unfriendly locations and bring them in. In 1979, the breed arrived in the UK through the efforts of John and Mary Holmes and was registered with the Kennel Club in the same year. The Australian cattle dog is a pastoral dog known for saving Australia’s beef industry as it was the only dog breed that could herd wild cattle in difficult terrains. The Australian cattle dog is also known as the Australian Heeler, Queensland Heeler, Blue Heeler, and Hall’s Heeler in some parts of Australia. The Australian cattle dog is an obedient and tireless herding dog eager to please his owner. This medium-sized breed can be extremely energetic and intense. As a herding dog, the Australian cattle dog needs plenty of physical activities and mental stimulation. Owners must be able to provide him with the right amount of exercise. The short-haired Australian cattle dog has a weather-resistant coat that requires minimal grooming. The Australian cattle dog sheds one or twice a year so grooming is relatively easy and manageable.

Thanks for visiting our website. I am called Austin James Stokes. The Austin family are the owners of Family Raised Blue Heeler. We have been breeding this lovely breed dogs since 2015.

My knowledge about the American Cattle Dog has grown as the years go by as they are a dog breed that are very smart and make us to learn new things everyday. My history with owning a puppy goes right back to my Christmas holidays when I was 10 years old. My parents bought me a lovely Blue Heeler puppy which I named Liam. Liam gave me a lot of childhood memories when I was growing as a teen. He was more than a best friend to me. He was so lovely and friendly. Each time I got angry back then about something, Liam was always there to console me and make me smile again. I always thought he could talk as he understood me so much. I always speak to him at times hoping he will respond. Everywhere I went to, Liam was with me. I met my wife in college. We were very good friends back then. She loved Liam until she insisted her parents should get her a Blue Heeler puppy. That was how our love for this lovely dog breed grew up. Our dogs use to play together. Unfortunately in our later years at college, I lost my lovely puppy Liam. We grew up loving each other so much and loving this dog breed. Later on, we got married and with our love for Blue Heelers. We decided to breed and raise this dog breed and why not educate puppy lovers about the importance of owning a Blue Heeler puppy. Fast forward to today, my wife and I raise our 2 kids and breed the Puppies on our 3 acres of land where our puppies have enough space to play around.
