Shadow is the newest member of the crew.
He came from a rescue as a return. His dad is a Marine that got deployed to Afghanistan and Shadow had no other family.
When we got him you couldn't pick him up (security issues) but with some good lovin the little dude has got his sparkle back.

Baz,

Thanks! Your ACD's are great dogs, too! I don't see many of them here, are they "warm weather" dogs? Daisy hats the cold winters and hot summers, she's definitely a spoiled, indoor dog!

mine was an outdoor dog, in alaska, for the first ten years or so. they can hack extremes of temperature. it was in the -30ºs for a while here.

when i got him the plan was to turn him into a spoiled indoor cream puff. and he does enjoy his spot on the couch near the wood stove. but in general heelers are happier running through brush or rolling in mud.

Thanks Art - like Varmit said...these dogs are VERY adaptable to all kinds of conditions - and they are found worldwide.

They make wonderful domesticated dogs although they were originally bred to help on ranches, etc. and still possess all the characteristics of the herding breed.

a much better movie starring a heeler.

Here are my 2 Weimaraners. Haley (8) and Bailey (7). Haley is a rescue we adopted about 3 years ago. They are absolluteyl great dogs-especially with the family.

Nice girls Chris...they're about 1 year each under my girls' ages...getting up there...yikes!

Yeah Varmit - I like The Road Warrior a LOT better too but that's a great shot of Heath and the 2 Heelers you gotta admit. I have one somewhere of Jake G. too from the movie - you don't really see much of the dogs in the actual movie though so these pics are pretty cool.

Merlin, the Weimerunner, was my son's dog. He was kind enough to share with us when he was off working jobs where he couldn't take him. A couple of months ago Merlin left this world & my son put him in our back yard. Merlin has pushed up a bunch of beautiful flowers. Little Penny was a Christmas present from the kids. She is so pretty & so sweet. If my cell phone pics came out, you can see Penny is deveolping into a fine dog.

My ex was devastated when she lost her Shih Tzu Molly. I helped her get a new girl, Echoe. She is going overboard with this new pup...

Rupert Dawg, RIP, we had to put him down this spring after 15 years of him owning us on the couch and bed.......I swear that dog was half star-fish the way he'd slowly push you off to one side of a bed pushing closer and closer and closer.......all he ever wanted was to be loved and petted, was EVERYONES friend.

Best dog I've ever ever had.........and NOT a "pit bull" to the ignorant masses, he was an "American Staffordshire Terrior"..........big difference, mid size body and a heart of gold. 70-75 pounds of love.
