I have one that is brown and black like a rottweiler. Good dog, Learns quick, trained quick, listens well.
They are usually white with black points when born,the "blue" colour develops over the first few weeks.
A red heeler is a medium sized dog with orange/red markings/spots all over its body. they can be aggressive and are very good watch dogs. if you see one in public DO NOT PAT IT the chances of it biting you are about 7 out of 10 so DONT PAT IT!
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.
What is the weight of your dog? I always get a bigger crate than what is needed. So they can turn, stand and lay down with a room to spare. I have a Large one for my heeler.
Usually a heeler's ears will prick at about four to five months.
17-24lbs. Roughly the size of a large watermelon.
Not long. :P They're very high energy LOL.
Approximately just as long as any other puppies so long as they get plenty of playtime.
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.
it depends on who is docking the tail the vet or a breeder
