[QUOTE="dun, post: 40389, member: 34"] I was beginning to think that heelers had really changed a lot in the past 25 years. Ours, 25 years ago, was terribly protective of what was hers. The truck if she was in it, the house if she was there, etc. Way too rough to use on calves but worked well with horses and grown cattle. Main problem was if she didn't have anything else to herd she word herd ducks, chickens, geese, guineas, people, whatever. She turned into a terrible fowl killer. When she would "grip" (bite) them, if she tasted blood she would just finish the job. We kept her chained when she wasn't working and she taught her pups to herd the birds past the front of her dog house. When they herded them close enough she would lunge out, catch the bird and kill it. She never ate them, just killed them. We never could allow her anywhere near the dairy barn because she was so rough with the dairy goats. But when the pesty people would come by and bug us, all I had to do was say "gate", and the people were unceremoniously herded out the gate. Didn't take but a couple of times and the neighbors would be bugged by the door to doors, but we never were. dun [/QUOTE]
