Another Answer:Red Heelers or Queensland Heelers are working dogs. The were carefully bred to be cattle herders and they're great at it. The biggest difficulty I've encountered with Red Heelers is that they NEED a job. If you don't provide on for them, they'll tend to seek out "jobs" -- often herding jobs -- on their own. So you'll see bored Heelers roaming a lot.
The best thing you can do if you don't want to get into the extensive training cattle herding requires is to walk your dog daily -- a couple of miles is a good idea (about 45 minutes or more). Twice daily is better. Get the dog to burn off some energy. And if you have time, work on games that involve fetching or herding or agility exercises
I realize this is a heck of a lot of work, but it's very hard to train an adult dog not to do what comes very naturally to it, and the results are dubious at best. The alternative is you controlling access to the outside, or Fencing in an area where they can work outside, the bigger the better.
No certain age. I know a 6 year old who can train them.
Usually a heeler's ears will prick at about four to five months.
Certainly.
Roam-man died because he was sick and old.
Are you referring to Lancashire Heeler? If so, their lifespan is 9 to 14 years. A Blue Heeler, Australian Cattle Dog or Queensland Heeler live an average of 10-15 years. The record breaking dog of this breed lived to be 29 years old. Working up until the day he passed.
Yes. I trained my one year old budgie last year to do tricks.
No. With consistency and proper training methods, tools and rewards, a 3 year old dog is sometimes easier to train than a puppy.
