You’ve gotta be on the OK list of your Heeler. Otherwise you’re dead meat.
I don’t know about that. I have never had a problem with mine. He plays with kids, cats, herds my chickens, does whatever I tell him to do. I can tell him to go right, left straight or come back. He hits you with his teeth, but doesn’t bite. His nose is like a sledgehammer, but only when playing. When he picks up a stick, watch out though. He is looking to correct an animal and they listen. Heck, he even watches TV and of course he needs something to shake like a rag or his snake toy.
I was speaking more of Australian shepherds and like dogs. Border Collies is a breed I dont have much experience with but that Shepherd! My daughter had one for about 10 years and she bit me at least 4 times!
I went out to a farm once when I worked for a Case tractor dealership, to a dairy. When I got there there were Aussie Shepherds everywhere, and signs saying to not leave your vehicle. A man came out and called the dogs off at which time they just laid down and paid me no attention. Went into the mans office and on the wall was a Lancaster SC car tag and it was full of tooth holes. I asked about it and the man said them dogs took it off the front bumper of a county mans car and chewed it up like that!
