Male VS Female Blue Heelers - Difference in the Australian Cattle Dog Gender

[@glenstribling6123]

We have had five Heelers. The males tend to be less problematic with people but more with other dogs. The boys like to wonder while hiking. The ladies stick by us. Don't wonder hardly at all. They are better with other dogs but more nippy with people. Gotta watch the females around other people especially kids. Hope that helps.

We had a female that was such a good dog! For 12 years she never made a mess of any kind in the house. While we were gone she patiently waited for us to return having free roam of the house. Usually waited on the couch, but always greeted us at the door. Very special kind of dog & so smart. Easy to train at 4 months old. She did have a little jealous streak with another dog around. Liked to be the number one Queen!

[@trishrobbins9942]

My blue heeler was thrust upon me at a park in AZ. The owner just dumped her off. I had no experience with the breed, always had standard poodles. It’s been quite an amazing experience to watch my Daisy adapt to my lifestyle and me to adapt to her needs. No one knows how old she is, but she is the best dog I’ve ever had, couldn’t live without her. So smart!! Today we leave on a cross country road trip and she is my co-pilot.

[@brittanydw1148]

Aww. Mine was a rescue sort of, the runt of an accidental litter headed for the pound. We named her Daisy as well! She is such a joy, intense but so loving. It was a hard adjustment at first and I wanted to give her up but I'm so glad we didn't. She was just pup and needed so much attention but she's 2 and is much easier to manage. We don't have a big yard, live in town and felt it wasn't enough for her. My kids keep her busy and we go to the park as often as we can. She hated car rides but has come around. My husband takes her hunt and she is excellent with him, stay right along side. I love seeing them bond, she adores him. She seems to know when he needs her even if he doesn't.

[@grantbowie3561]

I have had two male healers and when my brothers female healer visited; She was the Top Dog and always out competed the male healer and she was not afraid of him or our Rottweiler(also male). The boys just stood back because she always got to the ball or stick first. Sometimes the boys would gang up on her and try to drown her in the dam, but she would snap at them and they backed off. One brother had three female healers at different times and they were also top dog. My other brother , recently deceased also had one female healer and she is a bit bigger and heavier. She is a red healer and all the others were blue. Love them to bits. I am Australian.

[@DogsNowChannel]

Very cool thanks for sharing

[@lauracollins3451]

I have a female red heeler and she took approximately 3 years to train by crate. It was alot of work but she is now a great dog. She had to be crated if no one was home so she did not cause destruction out of separation anxiety or boredom of being alone. Now she is trustworthy and can have full run of the house and never bothers anything.

[@billiamc1969]

Sounds like you don't exercise your dog enough and locking your dog in a crate makes their anxiety WORSE

[@anthonyreed480]

"Crate" lol?! You mean you took a dog that naturally needs to be running outside constantly and locked it in a tiny cage, at home, alone. You are an absolute freak of a human. Honestly, I want to know how your brain works: wtf is wrong with you?

[@Infernalcx]

just bought my new house and a blue heeler to go with it… im so excited to start training the little guy 🤓

[@amallyasavage5976]

Mine is obsessed with securing the perimeter, and super alert. She is clingy too. My issue has been how independent she is training wise, She doesn’t ask permission to do something if it excites her.

[@KAP814]

Every night before bed we tell our girl to check the perimeter, it might be her favorite job.

[@anthonyhall7625]

I agree they do require a lot of exercise, however they can be trained to relax a lot as well. I had a secondment 600km away from were I lived, I was given a small unit with a small yard. My heeler would watch me come home and he would know my routine. Walk in the door shower dinner and relax he would do the same. He would jump in the shower with me he would eat dinner the same time and he would sleep as soon as I rested. On weekends we would drive home and he would bounce off the walls on our property exert all his energy and back to our city life on Monday. So yes they are great dogs and will do whatever you want them to do, highly recommended them.

[@andrewdrake6214]

We had a red heeler when I was around 10 yrs old. She was smart, acrobatic, and understood words like I have never seen before. One time, I whispered in her ear " bears! coyotes! wolves! and she literally went into beast mode. Instant stalk, hunt, inspect mode. It was absolutely incredible. I had never seen anything like it in my life and I guarantee you it was the first time someone had ever said that to her. Moving forward, I was able to use that phrase until she passed as a warning, to hunt, stalk or attack. She would analyze the situation and then immediately adapt to what needed to happen. She saved my mothers life and unfortunately she was immediately paralyzed. She attacked a semi truck in our small town that had slipped off the road and was heading for my mother. It was very sad. But I will tell you this. She wasn't scared. Not one bit. She would have done it again and again. This dog was the most incredible dog I have ever seen. Period.

[@hutke01]

I have had both. My male is the sire of my female. The biggest difference I’ve seen is that my male didn’t like anyone but the family. He is super protective; my female doesn’t know a stranger. My female sleeps on her back as most females do; my male doesn’t. My female loves to play fetch and will entertain herself with toys: my male refuses to play with toys or balls. They are both loving dogs, super smart and have different kinds of learning like children. My male was taught to wipe his feet when coming in the house; my female still doesn’t and doesn’t understand the concept. They both mind exceptionally well. They both know how to say I love you, but dogs in general are like people. They learn differently, and there are just some things each just doesn’t grasp and that’s ok. I have loved them equally and understand that they are individuals who have their own personalities.

[@DogsNowChannel]

Yes great info!

[@Michael_bird_]

Wow. How did you teach him to wipe his feet. I’m about to get a male red Heeler and need to teach him this

[@hutke01]

@@Michael_bird_ I put a huge rug at the back door and every time we came into the house I had him sit on the rug then I said wipe your paws. At first I had to physically show him what wipe your paws meant. Eventually I didn’t say sit when he came in and just went to wipe your paws. On rainy and muddy days he knows to sit and wait to be dried off with a towel. Every single time he came in we practiced. Every time. They are super smart and it doesn’t take a lot for them to learn new things, but it takes discipline for myself as well to be consistent. One time of not doing it ruins the entire learning process. Most heelers learn a new thing quickly when puppies. I used praise and lovings to train. Never a clicker. Good luck. They are the absolute best dogs I have ever owned.

[@GMlilEASTSIDEcharlie]

I found my heeler at a few months old and she gravitated to me so fast she would not pee or poop around anything that smells like me from meeting her unless I leave her locked in, (only happened the day I rescued her). She isn’t too destructive but she has a nice size of land and toys. I’ve had her for about 3 months and by her teeth and her doubling in size I figure I got her when she was 7-8 months. One of the best and smartest dogs I ever had but one caveat. She never really “listened” to me unless I do what I call “drill sergeant” voice and usually that is accompanied by hand gestures (Down girl!) 👇 (Heel!) downward first. Or (let’s go). Which doesn’t have a gesture but eye contact will make her come to me and once I start walking she follows me like I’m the only thing that exists…. I’m not sure if this is behavioral because unless I shout she seems to not hear me, I believe she is deaf because I can basically scream at a million decibels when she is sleep. For a while I could even walk up on her but now she is triggered by my smell to the point I can see her wiggling her nose in her sleep before she jumps up and rushes me

She will bark at Vehicles when they drive by usually only loud large ones he doesn't like it when people walk down the alley in the backyard if there's a smaller dog she thinks it's her baby she's not aggressive towards other dogs unless they growl out and show aggression first her instincts are absolutely amazing some people still bark at others she cries out and wants them to pet her 7 yesterday morning I heard her outside crying in this kid maybe middle schooler was walking by and my dog was just in the front yard crying wagging her tail and the girl walks past and I just yelled out she's not mean she doesn't bite in the girl stopped and turn around and had to pet her now if someone walks by and they looked sketchy I know my dog would not be happy about it she doesn't like the neighbors dogs because they bark all the time but she doesn't mind the hound dog that's two doors down she has her own personality that's for sure her and the cat get along great she alerted me before tornadoes hit the other night oh and her favorite toys are a ball or toilet paper tube🤷‍♀️ she has to Lambchop toys but they're not really toys they are her babies she doesn't need a kennel I bought one and ended up selling it she chose her own name Sammy loves car rides and kids and babies is a little OCD at times certain things have to be in certain spots. before I got her I had a Chihuahua for 18 years. big difference. I believe God put her in my life we needed each other... 🥰

[@jp4942]

Have had heelers all my life and how they behave is all on the owner. All mine have been amazing but heavy training and socializing is a must from the moment you get them home. Weeks 6-12 they need to meet new people constantly and other animals. If this isn’t done they are still good dogs but will not be people friendly. Lots of exercise and training they love and will respond quickly. It’s all about the work you put in those first 7 weeks or so and be consistent

Hi Heeler lovers! I’m a single mom to a four year old boy who loves dogs and needs a dog sibling. I’m thinking a female heeler would be a great sister & protector. I live in a big house on 1.5 acres. I have a horse barn (empty at the moment) and a chicken coop (also empty). I’m waiting for my son to get a little older before we acquire any horses & chickens. However, my son is lonely as an only child and so here we are… the million dollar question is: would a female ACD make a better sibling/protector for a little boy than a male ACD? Are the female’s generally more protective of children than the males? Thank you 🙏🏼 everyone!

Our girl is 43 lbs and will be 2 years old in February. She is a loving pup and although large, still enjoys Dad's lap. I'm #1 and she has other favorites down the line. She has a bad habit of chewing holes in throws, blankets, sheets, pillow cases, etc. I either patch them or leave as is. She knows she has done an unacceptable deed if if show her (without words or expressions). I have never punished her for that or anything else. She potty trained in a few days. She has access outside and we have large acreage so she gets plenty of exercise. Every night about 10:00, she comes up to us and stares. If we don't acknowledge her request, she goes to bed alone. LOL.

[@DogsNowChannel]

Haha smart dogs

[@mikepierson7447]

I wouldn't know if there is a difference between the males or females. Honey is my first solar puppy all I know is she won't quit until the sun goes down. Maybe I will add a male to the family one day!

[@annabugay1088]

My female red heeler turned out to be a big surprise) I took her as an adventure partner, but she prefers strolling in the park, running and playing only at well-groomed lawns or stadiums, and swimming at fully equipped beaches or pools, when I try to take her somewhere in the wilderness and engage her in playing she’s just sit there patiently waiting when I will stop fooling around in the stupid forest and take her to some fancy cafe. Guess I got lucky to be a friend of a diva heeler)

[@canadiankid42]

Getting my first female ACD puppy in 2 weeks! Can’t wait :)

[@greenbroccolistudios1275]

Mama and papa blue heelers :D

[@mimibee626]

My full-blood female blue heeler is incredibly stubborn! She is 4 and I am 64. I was walking her lsst year, and she stopped short, I tripped over her, shattered my right shoulder, tore my left rotator cuff, and fractured my right eye socket. Ive never walked her since. She was in a puppy mill and rescued and adopted by me ...antisocial, anti freedom! We are NOT a good match, but she is a good dog.

Mine farts. A lot

Mine too. The smells that come out of that dog... I swear I'm feeding her right.

[@ATARI-DAVE-73]

stop blaming the dog guys 🍑💨

[@LondonLite02]

Yep mine farts when she's nervous. She was a shelter dog and the whole car ride home I was like oh god what have I gotten into? 🤣

[@ATARI-DAVE-73]

@@LondonLite02 now you love them farts like your own 🍑💨🤢😍

[@valrolls1439]

I was just reading about that ( dog farts) and it was saying it is a stomach digestive problem and to change foods or use a probiotic 😁

[@oldjarhead386]

My female Heeler is 65 pounds at two yo and isn’t fat. She’s built more like a Shepard but looks 100% Heeler! She is an amazing family member! All of the characteristics you expect in a Heeler. Her favorite activities is chasing deer, foxes and even coyotes once in a while. They want nothing to do with her!

[@tammymcleod4504]

You have a mix of ACDs and Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dogs in this video, so you could be seen to be confusing the two breeds, which are absolutely separate breeds. Stumpies are totally different physically to ACDs... stumpies are taller, leaner and square looking, longer legs, and are born with a stump (though some are born with tails). The tails are NEVER docked. I noticed too that there are ACDs with docked tails in this video. Here in Australia, docking tails is illegal. Yes, both ACDs and ASTCDs are working breeds, but not all of them are full on and intense. My stumpy girl loved nothing better all her life than to sleep, and had absolutely no interest in working sheep or cattle. My stumpy boy is a bit more active, though he's spending most of his days sleeping as well, but isn't anywhere near as active as what they're made out to be (and he's 10 months old). I also fostered more than a few ACDs and they weren't as hellishly active as they're made out to be. They are not for the faint of heart... if you're not prepared to be the strong leader they need, both ACDs and ASTCDs will pull the wool over your eyes very quickly and make you their bitch.... and you'll be left wondering what happened. They MUST be trained if you're to get the best out of them, and to be the leader that they need. The more you train them, the closer your bond will be. And you CAN train them to be calmer and less demanding.

[@DogsNowChannel]

Good info thanks for sharing!!

[@79ltd]

Have both a female and now a male. In 60 years of dog ownership she was the best dog I ever had. He would be the second best. She was more obedient in difficult situations. You could leave her on a sidewalk outside a store and come back 1/2 hr later and she would still be laying there waiting for you. He will wait maybe 5 minutes and come looking for you. She could be 2 ft behind a squirrel at full on chase and I could call her off immediately. Him, now way. Both very athletic. He can catch a frizbee like there's no tomorrow. She could pull me on a bike 10 miles. He is very cuddly where she wanted to be but never was. If I had to choose I would prefer the female but every dog has their own personality and every one is different regardless of the gender. This is an amazing breed but only for the most dedicated informed owner.

[@DogsNowChannel]

Very cool info thanks for sharing!

[@jond2458]

I hope my red female is more like yours lol, she's a super hyper puppy but only 7 months so I know I've got a ways to go. I'm still waiting on her manners as far as jumping on folks, nipping, etc.. I had a blue that i used to leave in the bed of truck at wal mart for ½ hour and he wouldn't move but he was a male named floyd so opposite of your heeler experience

[@iknowthetruth1994]

Agreed! Every Heeler is different regardless of gender! Heelers are the Best ❣️🥰❤️😎🤠👍

[@Ackermanmedia]

Female's are higher maintenance period. I've raised over 20 heelers and heeler mixes, all working dogs. Raising female working dogs always reminds me why I gave up on marriage after two divorces. hahaha

[@michellej7734]

The breed is Australian Cattle Dog Blue "Heeler" IS A COLOR DESIGNATION!!!! There are also Red Heelers Training is NOT PROBLEM FREE and it is throughout their Life. They want a Job but they also listen when they want to.

Have only had females heelers. I find they are very loyal and protective of my family.

I have a blue heeler coming up 6 months next month (September) but in having a rough time training her.. Im use to hyper dogs from having a jack russell but she is on a whole nother level... I love her shes very calm when being put in crate or in a room with a gate but other then that im failing on getting her use to a harness and leash.. She acts like its the enemy x.x... Could use some tips from being new to owning a blue heeler.

[@brittanydw1148]

We love ours I was surprised at the amount of personality. So sweet and nothing gets passed her, except the birds she tries to keep out of the yard and air in her territory everyday. 😂 my uncle and grandpa had a similar dog excellent farm dogs.

[@samwell707]

Looks like the blue heeler is becoming more popular again. Used to be there were very few videos of them online. Now… there are many

[@DogsNowChannel]

Great dogs!

[@VividVerse]

Might have something to do with the children's show, "Bluey". It's about a family of heelers lol

[@bbaff8622]

Problem is so many go to homes then released to rescues becasue those that get them just don't understand what you have to do for them. We have a ACD/Border Collie mix and at a year old it is a good 2 hours daily at the dog park and a couple shorter walks daily. If not properly socialized they will become over protective etc etc. That being said she is a wonderful dog and I would not give her up for anything.

[@chelscooper991]

A lot more younger people/ younger generation are buying property & farming . I have many friends who have bought property recently and are learning farming. I think it's great. So that could also be why.

[@FukaiKokoro]

This! Many people are getting tired of the rat race. That’s what I’m planning. I want to get a big property and live as off grid as possible

[@SisterSanMiguel]

I have a red heeler and I love her. She can be destructive tho and it’s really hard to meet her energy requirements all the time bc my husband got her for me when I was pregnant. She’s a good girl. She was easy to train. She loves training and bonded with me so deeply

[@celestejohansen]

I’ve owned Heelers my entire 42 years of life and in my experience, the females are way more intense than the males and the reds are more intense than their blue counterparts

[@DogsNowChannel]

Thank you for commenting! That makes a long time with heelera

[@ohnomygiblitsaremissing4976]

I've raised 3 males and females and in my experiences the females are always meaner but easier to house train.

[@iknowthetruth1994]

I've had 5 heelers in over 50 years. Females that were as sweet as can be and one that would bite anything/anyone. Same with Males. Why? I don't know, they all were raised pretty much the same!

[@oldsailor8593]

Had dogs all my life, all came out of shelters until my first healer ,he came off an angus farm in South Georgia, a job is the most important part of his day. His is to run and play. He is a very good indoor dog because of his outside activity. I have to leave for 3 months this fall and am concerned about him. He will be 100% loved and taken care of but his outside activity will be reduced by at least half or more.

[@usmcownsme1]

Did he say 2 hrs? 😂😂😂 That's their warmup routine! 😂😂😂 I have cliff on the backside if my property with a creek in the bottom. That's where I throw my dog's Frisbee. It doesn't wear him out... ever...

[@moongodess]

My first acd-male was super suspicious and extremely protective, really obedient though, well trained, competed in obedience. Second male was like a wild dingo, nipping, biting, impossible to train but sweet with our family. Third male obedient, easy to train, sweet, funny, protective. All the males hated other male dogs. First bitch easy to train, protective, nipping kids, one person dog. Second bitch tough, easy to train, calm, excellent social skills. Bitches were not interested in other dogs. Bitches smarter than males or should I say they think more and think they are smarter than we humans 😀. Cattle dogs are weird dogs. Their quick reactions to everything and as quick thinking cause situations. They sure teach you a lot. Personally I would say males are easier to train but bitches are easier to live with.

[@laneb2458]

so the title says the differences but then you say they are the same except in size...

[@teresahall825]

Red Heelers are just as 'everything' that blues are. Only difference is coloring...so,c'monHe have had a d still do both colors,and there are mixes of colors that are beautiful

[@lovelyswimmer1]

The boys are like raising teenagers. They calm the fuck down after getting fixed.

[@lingerinlead80421]

Females are more touchy feely. Males can be a bit cantankerous and even mischievous. I absolutely love the breed.

[@BrokenGauge]

Basically the only difference is the height and weight.

[@JJodell92]

I noticed female heelers need more work not to nip at small children. My thoughts are its due to there natural need to heard the young but im not sure

[@Richard.Cabeza]

I’ve had females and prefer them for size and squat peeing.
