Never knew what a heeler was until I met Crossfireoops and his friend Gracie. Once I was aware I have met and interacted with a fair number, and they are all friends of mankind IMO. Good dogs they are and they are all missed when they leave us.
The first heeler I met was while we were on a pheasant hunting trip to Kansas during the mid '80's. My dad was especially taken with the dog. The owner was filling a suet feeder for the birds while we watched through a picture window. As soon as the owner disappeared around the corner the heeler appeared and dispatched the suet like he had done it 100 times. The owner walked into the room and was amazed how fast the birds could empty the suet feeder. My dad agreed it was truly amazing as he motioned for the rest of us to keep quiet.
