    We Interviewed An Australian Cattle Dog – Unstoppable Blue Heeler!

    We’re diving deep into the outback today to track down a legendary Australian Cattle Dog named Banjo to figure out how these pups handle the toughest jobs on the planet. From his tactical coat to that famous cattle dog stare, Banjo is helping us investigate why Blue Heelers have a reputation for being tougher than a bag of nails and having a battery life that never hits zero.

Us pups are pulling our guest Banjo into the pool all the way from Australia for some high-level intel on the heeler dog technique and the wild history of the ACD breed.

      🦘Yo Aussie Pack! We are still kind of super confused about the upside world of Australia. How does that even work guys? Super scary! 🦘

      Meaning no disrespect, but my understanding is that the blue heeler was developed in Scotland and was crossed
      with dingo in Australia to develop the Australian herding dog.

      As an Aussie , you dudes are the best for interviewing a fellow Aussie legend . I trust after your hard day of work foiling the plans of the squirrels syndicate you relax and watch Bluey , Australia’s most famous family .
      Another legend is the Australian Dingo if you get to interview one !

      My family have all had heelers, my girl was a x but she looked like a heeler and had their traits. My sisters have had both red and blue, the reds can be a little more fiesty than the blues. They are fiesty dogs, protective, very clever and loyal. My sisters red was her constant companion and would ride in the back of the ute to get feed for her horses and people in the nearby town of Dublin, in south Australia, called Ruby the Devil dog of Dublin, because she protected the ute like she was a bodyguard for a Queen. She also took down a trespasser on my sisters farm and the poor guy was screaming because he dared threaten my sister and good old Ruby taught him better. They are brilliant dogs.

      Dudes are reading my mind 😂 I was randomly thinking about Blue Heelers lately, because I don’t know much about them. My precious Caper, who was a rescue and passed recently, was either a border collie/German Shepherd cross or an Australian shepherd, so maybe you could interview them next time… I love this podcast, I miss my dog so much… I wonder if you could talk about how dogs feel when their humans become disabled or sick, because I sometimes feel guilty that I wasn’t able to spend time with him as much or do as much when I got really sick/disabled. Do you guys sense that? Is it simmer to when your human gets old? This is how serious we take your podcast, bros 😂

      I found an Australian Cattle Dog and she fit in with my other guys with no problem. It was like she had always been there. Built like tank and fast she always got to the ball first. If she had been human, we would have told her to stop pushing us out of the way. Scruffy was her name.

      When I lived in a very remote West Texas area, my girl Moira (Black Lab, Catahoula mix) had a full-time job keeping black bears and javelinas off my property. She got in a few scrapes but always came out on top.

      My girls used to keep the geckos and lizards out of the yard here in Australia. They also used to bark at the mail man and announce all visitors. My oldest dog, Maxie was known if you left you glass next to the couch to like a little scotch and coke at night whilst Clarabelle used to herd my cats up and make sure they were all tucked up at night. Unfortunately they’ve gone over the rainbow bridge so I’m looking for a new companion when I move house. Can you advise on a good indoor companion to keep me company who’s not too big that enjoys lots of snuggles? Do you have any friends like that?

      I have owned a few Australian Heeler cattle dogs in my life absolutely love them I even had a kelpie cross with a red Heeler who could run like the wind and loved to chase rabbits

      My Blue Healer was the smartest dog I ever owned. He was very aloof and stoic, but extremely protective. I always felt like he considered us co-packleaders. He slept outside on top of his dog house rain or shine year round. When I had to move into a neighborhood with fenced yards, he would climb the 6 foot fence and go out and patrol. I would hear him come home over the fence and I would get up to scold him, he would hear me coming and lay down and pretend he was sleeping to avoid getting yelled at. Amazing dogs.

      I had a Australian cattle dog that I rescued from a abusive house ,it was the best dog I ever had.i used to do festivals around the country hitchhiked he would just sit in foot well, charge round fields with bottles or sticks or balls he was fantastic.
