Which came from a mutt, but it's an actual breed now.

quote:
The Texas Heeler is a crossbred herding dog found mainly in Texas. They are a cross between the Australian Cattle Dog, and the Australian Shepherd, but can be a cross between the ACD and the Border Collie.[1] They are bred mainly for their ability to work cattle.[2] Found mainly on ranches in the past, they are currently being enjoyed in dog sports such asagility, frisbee and Rally Obedience.

Texas Heelers are medium sized dogs that generally weigh between 25 - 50 pounds (1123 kg). Their coats can vary in texture from short and smooth to medium length and color including black, blue merle or blue ticked with white and / or tan trim. They usually have smooth or medium length coats (1 to 3 inches). Texas Heelers are generally ***** eared, but their ears may also fold over. They usually stand between 17-22 inches (4361 cm) tall,most have bob-tails but can have long tails.


Here's my Texas Heeler, she had small parents though so she's almost considered a mini-Texas Heeler. And she needs a haircut in these pics.

Mine will bark on command, like "get the birds", "get them..." Use your imagination.

They're not scared of any weather either. If it starts to thunder, she wines to go outside and attack the rain, all night if she could.

She also loves the snow and does back flips.

Blue Lacy Dog is a breed of working dog that originated in Texas in the mid-19th century. The Lacy was first recognized in 2001 by the Texas Senate. In Senate Resolution No. 436, the 77th Legislature honored the Lacy as "a true Texas breed". In June 2005, Governor Rick Perry signed the legislation adopting the blue Lacy as "the official State Dog Breed of Texas". As expected, the vast majority of Lacy dogs are found in Texas.

Hog Killer. Arkansas fans will love it.

Blue Lacy or GTFO!!

The Blue Lacy is the state dog of TX and one can whip 4 of the OP's dogs at one time.

I've never heard of a texas healer! Very interesting dog. Blue healers are known to have a few screws loose so it's probably a good thing to mix them with collie. I'll bet it's a very high energy dog!

I really like the Blue Lacy too. Almost got one when I lived in San Marcos.

Both great dogs.

Blue Lacy's don't do well with passive owners. So that wouldn't work out.

Neat looking dog. Googling your text takes me to a wikipedia page and back to this thread. What organization recognizes the so-called 'Texas Heeler'?

Nothing wrong with a mixed breed dog, but let's not act like it is any more a breed than a 'maltipoo' or 'goldendoodle'.

It looks like your dog is a mix, and that is ok. My problem is when people breed mutts and make up a cute breed name (like Texas Heeler or Mexican Bloodhound) to make them more marketable.

What is wrong with saying you have a mixed breed dog? Nothing.

I'll have to look when I get home, but she is certified, just not sure by whom.

Edit: I believe it's CKC.

Two best options:

1) Blue Lacy - State Dog of Texas

2) German Shepherd - was the breed Rev was intended to be but didn't have the money back in the day. Homage to our history as both an agricultural school and our military history!

Also, to help with its exposure and suitability as a sports mascot as well as a university mascot...make it male.
