Where do blue heelers get their name?

Blue heelers are short, silver colored dogs from Australia. The word "blue" comes from their coloring, which tends to be a silverish that can look blue in some lights. The term "heeler" is referring to a class of herding dog breeds that are short, like the blue heeler. Heelers usually herd cattle, and they do so by nipping at the cow's heels. They re bred to be short so that when the cow kicks at them, the cow's feet will fly over the dog's head.

What dog breed is Teddy in movie First Dog?

"a miniature Queensland Heeler. ." says original poster. Queensland heeler is slang for austrailian cattle dog, which there are two distinct breeds; the acd and the australian stumpy tailed cattledog. teddy is neither, but a mix, deffinitely including australian cattledog. there is no such things as a "miniature" Queensland heeler. ACD's are also known as queensland heelers or blue heelers, and occur in either red or blue phase. they are born white, and blue or red up toward maturity due to the ticking gene, introduced to the breed when the dalmation was used to create it. teddy appears to be at least 50% Cattledog, probably with catahoula leopard dog int there somewhere as well. as with most mixed breeds, it's impossible to tell his exact lineage, but displays the intelligence and trainability of a cattledog 1oo%

What is a cattle dog?

A cattle dog usually refers to the blue heeler, red heeler and Queensland heeler. It has 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, and so 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.
