[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1846988, member: 24816"] Jip the female Blue Heeler we have now is a pretty good dog. She's watched me move cattle and will help drive them out of lots and also can help drive and head them in lots and barn too, She's the best stock dog I've ever had she doesn't always get it just right but she does end up helping and taking a lot of steps off me. She's been kicked and flipped head over heels, she yelped and hit the ground growling and went right back. She learned to duck, I've seen her dyck down and turn her head to look up to see if the danger was over and never miss a step. She was young when my Border Collie died and she really bonded with me after that. We took her around with us quite a bit when she was a pup and she is more social, but still is protective and defensive when somebody comes into her territory. She's pretty good with children. Wife had a family that were her friends visiting and they had 4 of their grandchildren with them. Some of the kids were playing chess and the grandpa was trying to coach them and he got irritated and loud, Jip jumped in front of him between him and the kids she was growling and when she growls she slobbers it was quite a show. My wife told him he better stop yelling at the kids snd step away or he would get bit. We were proud of our little girl for standing up to an overbearing bully. One time she was out in the yard when a UPS truck came up the driveway. I heard her barking and went out just in time to grab the little dog as she was going up in the truck where it didn't have doors on the vehicle. The driver never did realize what happened. She’s scared of storms and the dark. We have to leave a light on in the house if we are going to be out till after dark. She’s ok if we’re there but sometimes whines and barks when we turn the lights out at night right at first. When it storms in the night she tries to get in the bed. She knows she’s not supposed to come in the bedroom but she will often lay in the doorway half way. When wife’s mother was visiting us and was sitting in the chair that Jip claimed as hers she stood up and put her paws on her and she said the dog really liked me, we didn’t have the heart to tell her not really she’s just upset that you’re in her chair. Jip didn’t like it when she came to the table with us to eat either, I think she thought she was going to get her part of the food. [/QUOTE]
