This sweet beauty with the soulful eyes waited patiently for his human to return. Blue Heelers originated in Australia and came from dingoes which were cross bred.

What I understand is that I, personally, much prefer a tummy rub to a head pat. Just sayin’ .

Really? There might not be many on the east coast, eh. This is the first one I have spent any time with, and it was totally on his terms. He looks a little wild, with those markings.

They were bred as cattle dogs and are very hardworking, intelligent pooches. I didn’t know they were an international breed, until you told me in this post. My Snowy is also part dingo but couldn’t look more different to this beasty. He is also a smarty. Well, more of a smartarse to be honest. But lovable, of course. Hope you are well, Mike. X Kate

They are an intelligent breed which is how they became international dogs. In 1953 a pair of your blue heelers decided they had enough of your country and wanted to see the world. They stowed away on a ship bound for America and after landfall they lived secretly in Atlanta, Georgia, where they raised 9 pups and they, in turn, mated with other breeds but the blue heeler was dominate genetically, and the thousands of American heelers are spread out, here and there. The one I posted was in Arizona and found the dry hot climate most agreeable, saying at one point, ” ‘ello, mate. I do fancy it here as it reminds me of the stories my great, great, great, great, grandpappy passes on to us young pups about the homeland, full of dingos and animals that hop around too.” They seem to like to talk, your heelers.

Loquacious they are and great spinners of yarns, somewhat like a bearded dog lover I know over your way! 😀❌

That looks just like our Australian shepherd mix! Spock was a faithful dog. Died blind at age 19, and we still miss him.

What a beautiful dog! I have never seen one of this kind. We had an Australian Ridgeback once when we lived in Ethiopia, and he looked almost like a dingo.

Thanks. This dog stopped me in my tracks with those colors and that face. Your dog maybe was part dingo, eh.
