We are really blessed. If I had a choice, I wouldn't have picked this
breed, now I wouldn't trade her for the world and would have a heeler
again. I have since found out what smart dogs they are and she has so
much personality.

Our little Yorkie died last year. A local "cowboy" that raises and
trains heelers offered Stan a dog whenever we were ready for another
dog. What a great gift as his dogs are quite expensive.
I'm a happy girl.
