Asked by Wiki User

They should eventually stand up themselves, as the Dog grows and the cartilage begins to form in the ear. Do not resort to cropping the ears if you intend to show the Dog professionally, as this may disqualify the Dog from the ring.

Best way to house break a blue heeler?

Asked by Wiki User

We have a red heeler (same thing just different color) and I will tell you how I did it. At first when she was in the house I would keep her in my sight at all times. If she made a mess I would put her nose close to it and spank her and then she would get put outside. Be sure to take them out regularly to potty and if they do potty outside give them praise ("good girl!" and a pat on the head). After a few times of this, she started going to the door for me to let her out. You'd want to remember that all dogs have different personalities and this method might work or it might not. There are other methods you can research also.

Animal husbandry is very important component of agriculture. Shetland Sheepdogs protect and direct flocks of sheep; Australian Cattle Dogs assist drovers in the herding of cattle over long distances. Both breeds display intelligence, trainability, versatility, great energy, loyalty, and can be raised to be great pets as well.
