Blue Heeler Temperament And Training Q&A
Does anyone have experience with both male and female blue heelers? (ACDs.)?
I have owned many female blue heelers before, and I understand their temperament as a breed as a whole. Done a lot of reading. But I haven't found anything that suggests a male or female has a better personality for being a family dog. And yes I know, blue heelers are not typically known for being the best family dogs, but they can be with proper socialization and obedience training.
So what is your experience with male vs females? Is there any difference?
we have a male heeler and a female heeler mix..the male tends to be less dominate and a little more relaxed..the female more dominate and she happens to be way to smart for her own good.
i like my female better she's more outgoing a little harder headed of course but she's a good dog..both of mine are fixed though which really mellows the both of them down

Blue Heeler Temperament And Training Q&A
Help on How to Train a Cattle Dog Australia?
We just brought home an 8 week old Blue Heeler! It is very cute and playful ... for now. I have researched a lot about cattle dogs and is often in temperament to be very protective of his family. This does not really pose a problem for my family, but it does for any visitor. For now, the puppy seems to be happy with the whole attention, but what happens when you grow up? How can the puppy up to be nice to everyone (including other dogs)? Anything we can done, particularly as part of puppy training to make it as friendly as possible? Thanks.
http://members.cox.net/markabbott/ACDfaq/acdman.html # Anchor113084 Well, the reality is that your dog can not be a social butterfly. It is not in the nature of the race it is. This dog is bred to herd cattle and protect the herd and family. There is a dog you should choose someone without a specific job in mind. Most ACDs have no use for other dogs, and can only ignore them, or be very aggressive dog when meeting another dog. As strangers in your house, your dog could accept, or they could face from behind and bite back legs. What are your plans to occupy the dog? What work is aligned with this dog do every day when you train? What type of obedience classes you sign up to make sure that your dog accepts its authority and responds to your orders? (Just in case some children are pursued by Street). And we have not even reached the children yet. Heaven forbid if children begin to flee the dog. Not only will they be led, to be bitten and possibly Complete address with teeth like a bull. My advice varies depending on your answers. If you have a great thing for this dog to do, I suggest you start an obedience class immediate basic and take the training through advanced. Introduce the dog to all your neighbors and neighborhood kids, and make plans for the dog to refrain from pursuing anyone. If you do not have any clear plans for this dog, take it back where it has been received and pick a different race. You have chosen the more real "working" race there. The well educated ACD only lives for work, and will not be happy with less. And an unhappy ACD is dangerous. This is one of the dogs slaughtered in the U.S. because it rarely passes the temperament test, once you get to shelters. Keep this in mind .....
