Thanks for the update Steve.....both of my girls are right by my side as I type this.....keeping good vibes for little Laylo! :)

Laylo is getting neutered on Thursday. Christine also said Bazz seems like a nice guy. :)

Got some more photos, will post tonight when I'm home. Great looking dog. Planning to head down over the weekend.

You going to take him? Good for you!

Steve, Just got home and read this...that's terrific! I hope it works out. Have you had a Heeler before?

All dogs are special - I'm a little partial to Heelers but there are many other breeds I also am partial to and love and that includes mixed breeds - they are ALL so very special.

Please keep us posted including new pics if you can....dang...this is very cool....:p:p:p

Just saw the new pics...he is one handsome Heeler.....beautiful spotting...and he has a tail!

Looks to have a great personality too Steve....:)

congratulations

they will ignore you for the first few days. after that they are your best friend for life.

i don't know why people dock the tails. might have made sense on a cattle ranch in 1890. doesn't now.

they are cat chasers.

disturbingly smart

the farts can blister the paint off a car.

they will eat themselves fat if you let them.

any behavioral problems can be cured with this...

Good for you Steve. I am sure Zander will have a field day with that guy.

She must have put the photos on facebook too...i was lazy and didnt get to uploading them from my email.

Yes, provided he doesnt bite my daughter or Lex, he'll come back to VA with us. Lex is a lab, cattle dog mix and he's about 2 as well so it should be fun. The kids dont know about all this yet, so it should be quite an adventure.

Oh yeah, not worried too much about the cat. She's old but she's dealt with new kids and a new dog. She laid down the law pretty early with Lex. She has safe places to go as well.

Awesome ,Steve! Heelers are the greatest.

You are getting a great dog.
Around here we call this an "adoption". I see the word "rescue" being used here. This dog was not facing being put down, or they would not have neutered him.
If anyone is being "rescued" it is a human.

Actually, he's being nuetered today. When this was posted, the situation was dire. The "rescue" organization was able to get some donations to cover a few days' boarding and the nuetering. I'll let someone else who has a computer, not a phone, in front of them explain how it works.

Great news.

They are indeed great dogs.

Best, Steve.

well done..
best way to met Lex's..
is on a walk...
then take them home together..

Steve,

Congrats on the new dog !

I picked up a Blue Heeler mix (90% BH) from the SPCA last year.

He is a great fit with the family/kids and we had no problem with crate training.

You might want to wear a gas mask if he is sleeping next to you on the couch and stock up on tennis balls.

Glad to see this happen. Longevity would not have been too long if he had to go to the Gastonia shelter. This is definetly a "rescue".

Two guys talking about the farts....now I'm worried. Actually, Lex must have that part of BH in him aside from the markings.

They definately enjoy the gas attacks thats for sure. :D

None of this is mentioned in the AKC literature. LOL
