Where do blue heelers get their name?
Blue heelers are short, silver colored dogs from Australia. The word "blue" comes from their coloring, which tends to be a silverish that can look blue in some lights. The term "heeler" is referring to a class of herding dog breeds that are short, like the blue heeler. Heelers usually herd cattle, and they do so by nipping at the cow's heels. They re bred to be short so that when the cow kicks at them, the cow's feet will fly over the dog's head.

It should not be confined to a house. Under the right conditions they can be good house dogs. Don't tolerate any nipping even if it is playfull if you plan on getting one as a house dog. They do need a yard to be exercised in. My heeler loves playing frisbee. I take her out twice a day for about 40 mins each time. If you have a pond swimming can really wear them out. I would not suggest leaving them unattended in the house for too long as they will find something to chew when bored.

In Australia which a dog herds cattle by biting the back of their feet?
not sure of what the question you are trying to ask. however cattle dogs are working dogs and they usually nip the heels (hence the name blue/red heeler) of cattle to make them move. on the other had a good dog will not bite the cattle there is a difference, he should just nip them on the heel, or hock as its is called on cattle, and not bite which may cause damage meaning he shouldn't make the beast. if he bites the animal and causes lacerations on them they can get infected and it also looks bad when trying to sell them. just one more point most good dogs can make cattle move without having to nip, nipping should be a last option for them. the presence of the dog and his lunges and barks should make them move.
