Had a Red Heeler/Lab mix named Kiowa and a cat named Keechi( keech-eye)(they are both departed). Kiowa is easy, yet Keechi were a band of Caddo: Keechi meant fish.
This is our first that is not a Treeing Walker Coon Hound or a Plott Hound.
She did very well overnight, considering it was her first night alone, coming from a litter of 12 pups.
Our nearest neighbor raises Blue Heeler pups and gets big money for them. They are gorgeous dogs, and just excellent help for their horse ranch. I love having them as neighbors, especially this time of year when all the foals are being born.
