Yup. Been around them and owned Heelers and Aussies for herding cows. Great dogs, too. Currently have a Kelpie mix and an Aussie/Heeler mix. The Kelpie is fearless and totally loyal. He’s also a whale of a cow dog. The Aussie is good with sheep, but a bit chicken with the cows.
My blue is about 35 pounds. He herds one hell of a tennis ball.
This happened in my town. It’s legal in Utah to shoot animals if you’re in danger. It’s the owner’s responsibility to keep the public safe from them. There is no legal recourse for dog bite in Utah. None. Your dog, you pay. Even the police dogs on duty aren’t exempt from liability if they cause injury. In this story, the dog owner is lucky his dogs are alive. He’d better have good insurance, because he’s already lost the civil case.
