[QUOTE="Boot Jack Bulls, post: 1491287, member: 24016"] I have had ACD's /heelers for almost 30 years now. I will never own another breed. I think most of the temprament problems most associate with the breed are a result of people attempting to make a working breed dog a urban/suburban pet and the same people breeding them because they can make a few bucks. People just cannot be made to understand the amount of energy a young ACD needs to burn off every day. Then they get mad when a 10 month old cattle dogs shreds their couch. If a pup is nipping at a person's heals, that dog needs to be put to work! As far as trusting them with kids, I won't have/keep/breed one I can't trust. I have a super agressive (on stock!) 10 month old female right now, and my daughter can drag her around by her tail, ear, etc. and not get attacked. I also have a very large 3 year old male who has no fear (good and bad thing!), but absolutely melts when my daughter cuddles with him. I believe ACDs are great dogs, that must be socialized and have a job. [/QUOTE]
