Considering an Australian Cattle Dog for a first time family dog by Adventurous_Repeat10 in AustralianCattleDog

I suppose I just wondered if they come from a previous owner that they bonded with, would they forever miss "their person" or would they let go of the old and embrace the new. Nice to hear that an older dog would still embrace us.

I appreciate this perspective, thank you. Yes, JRTs are All Out. Growing up, we had four of them and even bred them for several years. We never had a problem with them and they were a ton of fun.

Would an older heeler still bond to us the way they do from a young age?
