Great family pet.

If I had listened to this book before getting my Heeler it would have scared me off. Piper is 3 and she is a very intelligent loving animal. I love this breed. if you're an active person go for it. you must exercise and train the rewards are worth it.

It was enjoyable to listen to this book, while we were driving with our puppy, laying down on the backseat

it's a guide

yes heelers are trickster farm dogs that love to nip. but it's not much new from just training a dog. it's a high energy dog that shouldn't be left in an apartment. maybe a good reminder. I also have a heeler/ idaho shag. that's probably more shag
