My nephew had 9 heeler pups a week ago. This is our first experience with Heelers. Parents are both blue. Any advice? 7 Boys and 2 girls. I will have to get you all some pictures of them.

That's because, puppies are cuter than refrigerators. Seriously, have you ever seen people in front of WalMart giving away appliances? ;DDL said:dori - well said! and you are absolutely right - they need a job!
It always amazes me that people spend more time researching their purchase of a refrigerator than they do researching the breed of dog that they want....
Ohio. There are two females. I will get some pictures for you all. Daddy does a good job with the cows. He is great herder.showcattlegal said:where are the puppies at i'm looking for a female heeler.
I raised Jack Russells prior to mainstream popularity. I stopped raising them due to the fact the wrong people were getting them BUT anyways. I use to do the same thing with Rice Cereal. I would use whole milk warmed and mix the rice cereal to a oatmeal consistancy. It helped momma a bunch as far as condition. I assumed Heeler littlers were smaller. Thought 9 pups was alot for her.renegade said:I guess i missed this post. We have raised several litters of blue heelers. It seems like they develope teeth, open eyes and ears and walk a little sooner than alot of breeds of pups i have seen. Since they get teeth quicker the momma usually weans a little sooner. We feed canned goats milk mixed with rice cereal that you find in the (human) baby aisle at wal-mart. If you have any questions feel free to PM me.
Your "Jack Russell" story is a lot like my "Shorthorn" story.OH Breeder said:I raised Jack Russells prior to mainstream popularity.

How would you suggest we go about marketing them? I guess i get paranoid about the dogs getting inthe wrong hands. They seem as though as mentioned above they need to keep busy.
Not quiet sure how to take that. But, I grew up with Shorthorns. We have had shorthorns since the 50's. I am not sure if that was a dig to me or just in general.garybob said:Your "Jack Russell" story is a lot like my "Shorthorn" story.OH Breeder said:I raised Jack Russells prior to mainstream popularity.

No, it wasn't a "dig" at you. I was noting that you didn't like the direction the Jack Russell Breeders were going. Jack Russells used be very good "squirell dogs". Now, they're just "pets". Simply noted the similiarities.OH Breeder said:Not quiet sure how to take that. But, I grew up with Shorthorns. We have had shorthorns since the 50's.
