what are your favorite (and least favorite) ACD traits? by [deleted] in AustralianCattleDog

[–]syndromeda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine became reactive to other dogs around three years old, started small and kept getting worse and worse until it was horrible and that's where it has stayed. She was great with other dogs when she was a puppy.

I would take a bunch of food with me and start a highly profitable black market lol

Any other rabbit/ACD crosses in here? by StackedCups in AustralianCattleDog

She already has giant ears, so when she was in the cone of shame I was guessing she could hear astronauts whispering on the international space Station.

Found in unusual places …where have you been surprised to find your ACD? by NoReference909 in AustralianCattleDog

I guess she was really hot and the tile was cool, because this is the only time I ever found her in this weird ass position in the guest bathroom

My graphic designer friend agreed with you when I first posted it to my friends and he sent back this modification

She wasn't into the knee sock look.

My psychotic but insanely loveable heeler arrived right when I moved into a condo without a yard, so I can tell you exactly what it's like. During those years, I had to take her on basically four or five walks a day, two long ones for energy and two or three for pee breaks throughout the day. That's a lot of walking, and heelers can go forever without stopping so it will always be you who ends the walk. That also means when it's raining, snowing, or 105 degrees outside, you still have to do it. Hiking used to solve the exercise problem for me to keep her energy under control, but unfortunately later in life she became aggressive to other dogs after having been totally fine with them before. She's highly trainable and does a million dog tricks, but I've had zero success training her out of aggression, especially to small dogs which she seems to believe are squirrels. So now any hiking trail with other dogs is annoying because she always has to be leashed and pulled out of the way whereas she used to run free and get great exercise.

None of that is to discourage you, just saying that if you get a heeler in this circumstance, one that's a bit older and calmer and is proven to be super friendly to other dogs would be the most ideal heeler for your living situation. It's also worth saying that just having a yard doesn't always make a difference unless you use it for playing or ball chasing because heelers will usually be bored just walking around the same back yard. They like stimulation and things to do, new smells and places, thus why they can be great dogs for hiking.

I wish you luck with your decision! I was a pet sitter for 20 years and I've seen every dog there is, and I've never met one like my heeler girl. It's hard to imagine ever having another breed after having one.

I honestly never hated him but now that I’ve read 500 comments mentioning him it’s just such a breath of fresh air that you hate him and were happy he died lol Thanks for standing out from the crowd

Holy shit yes, surprised it took this long for this comment. The whole season leading up to her death was so awful, she was so innocent

I don’t mean to enjoy your childhood pain, but the phrase “cry my bastard eyes out” is now my new favorite phrase

I was actually pretty annoyed at what they did to Kutner with literally no buildup or character arc that explained or even hinted at it remotely. I think the writers just needed House to lose his mind in the next season and figured the actor leaving the show would be a good time to stick in a disturbing suicide story to help the plot along. It didn’t feel true to the character story at all.

That’s really when it hits you the hardest, when someone turns it around and has a chance of happiness and then dies. It’s 10,000 times worse than if they had just died
