Alamosa, That is a Blue Heeler, right? (same as Australian Cattle dog?) I've heard that these herding breeds are very smart and can learn anything, but did you have to work much to get the dog to retrieve ducks from water? I've never thought of them as hunting dog (although I think I remember seeing pictures of Ingwedog "retrieving" fish which Ingwe claimed to have caught Honest question, I'm curious. If what I've heard about these cattle dogs is true though, I'm not sure I'd want a dog smarter than me... John Yes. Blue Heeler, red heeler, Queensland heeler, ACD. Said to have a touch of Dingo in them. I've had 3. All of mine would hunt and retrieve but that light colored runt, Heidi, was just exceptional, RIP. That dog earned retrieving titles from 2 of the hunting retriever organizations and I knew nothing about dog training. They are working dogs, must be kept occupied, very expressive and communicate well, will get into trouble if left alone and bored. From what I have heard Ingwedog was an exceptional herding dog that was capable of doing everything. Hopefully Ingwe will share his pictures again.

A friend is heavy into retriever trials and the thought of a dog like this beating out a multi-thousand dollar "retriever trials" Labrador make me grin! Heck, the stud fee from some of those champions is worth more than my car! Thanks for taking the time to reply, and the additional great photos! John

It looks like the wind froze! Back porch of the cabin this past weekend. My wife digging a parking space in the front.
