Best Answer

Like many working dogs, Australian Blue Heelers have high energy levels and active minds. The breed is one of the most intelligent dogs ranked by obedience command trainability. Blue Heelers Dogs need plenty of exercise, companionship and a job to do, so non-working dogs need to participate in dog sports, learning activites, or other activities that engage their body and mind.

When at home, Blue Heelers are happy, affectionate, and playful pets. However, they are reserved with strangers and naturally cautious in new situations. They are good with older, considerate children, but are known to herd people by nipping at their heels, particularly younger children who run and squeal.

Not really. Blue heelers can be pretty vicious if they are not treated right.

How are black lab blue heeler mixes with kids and other animals?

We had a blue heeler - kelpie cross once. An extremely attentive and most intelligent dog, and amazing with young kids (which I was at the time). I used to lock him in the cupboard, hide somewhere in the house, whistle, and he would come and find me. We played this game for hours and hours at a time. We lived in a house in suburbia, with a garden. This was not enough for the dog, which is a sheep-dog by breeding, and requires large open fields, and kilometers of running around each day to let out its energy. The dog we allowed out onto the street in desperation to let her let off energy. She was eventually run over. In short, great breed. Needs lots of excercise or life on a farm if you are willing to take it.
