Are blue heeler dogs a good house pet?
Blue heelers have been specially bred for Australian conditions, for rounding up cattle and helping with mustering. Because it is bred to be a "heeler", it nips at the feet of the cattle to round them up. What this means is that a cattle dog, or blue heeler, that is a family dog often develops the tendency to nip at people's feet to try to round up its "pack". It is not an ideal family dog unless there is both a large backyard and opportunity for it to get plenty of exercise. The blue heeler quickly becomes bored, as it is bred to work. 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.
Well it depends. If you get a boy it might be a little crazy. The girls are nicer

What are the traits of a red heeler boxer mix?
I have a 6mth. old red heeler/ boxer mix and so far she has been very cute! They need LOTS of attention because they are very active and playful! It took us about a month to potty train, and they DON'T have a large bladder. They are very curious and follow at your heels regardless of how many times you tell them not to. Overall, very loyal, and protective enough to bark when people approach the house. We have trained her to do tons of tricks, way before she was even potty-trained! (Including when she goes to pee she rings a bell..haha) We LOVE her!

Are blue heeler dogs aggressive?
Blue Heeler dogs, like any other breed, can be aggressive if not treated well or in accordance with their proclivities. That is, they are very intelligent, almost intuitive dogs, and are high energy.
They need a job, but unless you live on a farm, it may not be herding sheep or cattle. Therefore, a good second choice of "careers" is lots of exercise, agility training, and companionship with the owner. They can be "one person dogs", but some will also become fast friends with another dog of similar size--especially if the other dog is good natured and does not mind being herded. They are also very protective of members of the family and may herd small children within the household.
