Rocky Mountain Cowboys 09 :cattle dogs at work

[jlk566]

boy this video drew some dipshit critisim ! everyone that uses dogs on cattle says it need to be done their way , as long as you get your work done --- they are what they are . I know a jerk that has kerr pitt cross mutts and he has messed up my business letting his attack dogs chew up everyones cows , but he says all kinds of bullshit about my dogs - but never to my face . I make my living selling low stress cattle handling with dogs . If you are happy with your dogs - you have good dogs

[ChosenTV09]

WOW this video is amazing!!! Three of the best sheep/cattle dog breeds in the world all working in one place. and you can see the different styles of them. super dope.

[Sarahprelle]

@TPapania...Champion of what? Conformation? It is a well know fact, show dogs can't work. Your showshit cattle dog couldn't work a ranch to save it's life. And, as a full time trainer and competitor in multiple dog sports,your comment, "sound like a man" while giving commands, is a load of crap. LOL!!! A dog learns with whatever he is taught with, whether that is a whisper or a shout. I am a woman, who sounds like a woman.

[mischellem69]

@Sarahprelle Wow Sarah ... you're either really immature or just plain mean ... either way, Karma is a beotch. Good luck! NOT!

[Firetruckfreak22]

can some one please tell me the basics in triaing these doogs how to walk by your side and get the cattle movin

[TPapania]

THis is a toal load of crap. In fact this is the worst case of cattle dogs working cattle. Not to mention none of the dogs are proper Australian Cattle Dogs. I own the son of the current Australian Cattle Dog Champion 2 years running. You start to correctly training your dog about about 3 months and when you give voice commands you have to sound like a man not his underpants.

[IAyotehunter]

@TPapania These dogs are doing exactly what their owner is telling them to do and who gives a shit if its a "proper Australian Cattle Dogs" my aussie heeler mix will put the whoopin on any of your purebred heelers and thats a fact. If you don't have somethin nice to say asshole then don't say it!

[millie00peanut]

@TPapania read the discripyion idiot it says WYOMING!!!

[ToeIn2194]

Please tell me where this is?

[5adnerb]

those are some thugga ass dogs

[66chevyo]

How often do they get kicked in the face??

[jmcorakitty]

Doggies say Respect MA AUTHORITAY

[walkshe]

Whether their styles are different or not, looks like they're accomplishing what the cowboy needs them to do.  That's the most important thing.

[toritotuti]

the narrator is a "p____y cat!".

[getheeled]

Kelpies and Border collies have eye. Heelers don't.

Great clip, love seeing heelers used as they were bred for.

Heelers still work today, you just need the right bloodlines. Mine have good working ability. they are the best in the world for driving reluctant cattle.

[TedH71]

I stand corrected. The solid red dog is an Australian shepherd. The red/white one is Australian cattle dog...the white/black one is probably a mix of border collie and Australian cattle dog. He's using dogs with different working styles. Not good. Need for all 3 to have the same working styles.

[TedH71]

The long haired stubby tailed dog is an Australian Shepherd! The one with red and white markings and a tail is an Australian Cattle Dog.

[CreatORder]

That Cowboy has got to learn to whistle hahhhh

[TheDEATHSTARIII]

i lived in wyoming when i was a kid, i now livee in england , my grandfather who was irish helped build new york . am i right in thinking that makes me at least half american ??

[flagwaver1969]

I believe a good dog does most of the control with their eyes. Australian Kelpies and Australian Cattle Dogs seem to be the best for cattle.

[RBBROPER]

some what true with sheep andgoats but with cattle you need an aggressive dog that has teeth and knows how to use them with giving it a second thought as far as best breed for working cattle Id have to Border Collie or Border Collie cross Kelpies it depends on the blood line cause the aussie blood lines the bite and grit has been bred out and heelers dont tend to have enough instinct to go to the head and stop a cow if they are running off they tend to just keep driving them away

[happybonzo]

Very true - you need a dog with a lot of heart to work cattle

[countrygirl1702]

kewl!!

[flagwaver1969]

Great vid. Thanks for posting. It's exciting to see those dogs work.

[cowtoy101]

i have had border/aussie crosses working both horses and cattle for years,good size and they work with unending enthusiasm for their work.i had some sheep ranchers from Utah buy four of my red puppies for their ranch and they love them.aussies arent from Australia like their name suggests they are actually from Spain and when sheep herders and cattle were shipped to Australia the dogs went with them but the modern aussie is purely American west.

[nomaddrunk]

my heeler goose been workin cows outside butte for years been trampled shot twice and still love his job he's 1tough little dog and my best friend

[zorkntatertotter2]

dog gets trampled 3.45

[IluvABbeef]

It's an interesting video.

But, I like to have to holler or bang the feed bucket to get them off the pasture...just seems easier that way. To me anyway.

[RBBROPER]

may seem easier but if you got out in front of them cows right there with a bucket they goin to throw their tail up and catch a gear in the oppisite direction and to you hav prolly had the problem of that 1 stuborn o cow that knows the game and says F that bucket dont care wat it has in it I aint following it that is where the dog comes in real handy

[IluvABbeef]

Actually, as a matter of fact I have on a number of occasions. But I have since learned that that one stupid animal doesn't go far and the lure of the herd is stronger than trying to be independent. But if they're still too stupid (or smart...) to follow the herd, I always go back for them after, and they always go where the rest of the herd went.

But really, that's just my way of doing things. All cattlemen have their own way of handling cattle, with or without dogs. JMHO.

[IluvABbeef]

The other trick we have with the bucket is to let them come to us, instead of us going to them. Going to them almost always will stir up trouble especially if you got a few wild sons of bitches in there. Now don't get me wrong, I was just stating what we do as an alternative to using dogs, but I do respect and do like how dogs are willing and able to get the cattle to go where they need to go. But, in all honesty, it's not the ONLY way of working cattle now is it? Again, I liked the video.

[DrPepperandOreos]

Nice to see working dogs. I get tired of all these dogs who do nothing but sit in thier crates that match the decor of the house. Basically stuffed animals for people to play with when they want to, and just lock away when they don't feel like it.

I laugh at the fact they guy calls the dogs aggressive, I seriously doubt they even took the fur of the heels of those cattle. A lot gentler than using ropes.

[talk2malawyer]

is training cattle dogs the same as training sheep dogs?

[worldsails2000]

My Vet herds competitively with her Cattle Dogs and she says the main difference is that in competition the dogs aren't supposed to bite the legs of the sheep, if they do then it's a disqualification. Where in herding cows it's OK and that's how the dogs frequently get the cows moving.

She says it's very hard to train the Cattle Dogs not to bite as that is what they have been bred to do.

[worldsails2000]

My vet herds with her Cattle Dogs competitively. She says the main difference in training them to herd sheep and cows is that in competition they aren't allowed to bite the legs of the sheep, if they do then they are disqualified. It is OK if they bite the legs of a cow though.

She also told me that it is harder to train Cattle Dogs for sheep because they were bred to bite, so you have to train that instinct out of them.

[equinesul]

The man comentating in this video is actually from England!He has made several dvd's on American agriculture and the countryside.They seem to be very popular in England.

[quickvid3664]

its wyoming. i live on the ranch that borders the ranch in this video, the pitchfork ranch is the one in the vid.

[sledshred09]

Wonderful to see the dogs hard @ work thay are good @ what thay do!

[Icetitan777]

the voice doesnt fit this video, if its in the rockies

[chewbaca1989]

It's an Australian, hence the blue heeler.

[Icetitan777]

oh, blue heelers are only in Austalia? man, those are rare dogs.

Hence the term Rocky Mountains and you think either New Mexico, Colorado OR Wyoming.

[chewbaca1989]

The Australian is seems interested in something Australian in the U.S.

[Icetitan777]

huh? what?

[no4go2]

or british columbia or alberta for rockies. were on the east coast now and we do miss them.

[runleonrun]

Herding dogs are awesome.

[Ceg47241]

Those are good lookin mama cows. Fat ole beats

[TehNoobinShow]

Heelers are too smart to be put to work lke this they need to be in obedience contests.

[KeepTurningLeft]

I thought they were bred for chasing cows - silly me

[TehNoobinShow]

They are but they're really smart

[afccapt07]

dude, those dogs are bred to it, its instinct, our heeler goes after the horses at our ranch and we dont even have to tell him to go get em. he loves it. so they arent "to smart" its theyre breed. they rather do this than be at home or in an obedience contest

[xXxKaLLyxXx]

We have a blue heeler who has one natural blue eye and brown eye. Is it true, that these dogs are preferred as cattle herding dogs? Was told by a farmer as we were walking our dog in public that dogs with those colour eyes are chosen over the others first for herding? Is it true? D:

[jackiedogster]

Looks like the cattledog taught the border collie what to do. I have a cattledog she is so smart. We live in the city so she does alot of tricks.

[xXxYourFaceBitchxXx]

Wow, that place is just beautiful,...I would love to live there, but too bad I live in the city. =[ Anyways, I have an australian sheperd. A dog thats bred for ranch work, and I'm pretty positive that she would love it there as much as me.

[letsfknrumble]

i recon heelers are every bit as good as BC's on sheep if raised on sheep but if raised on cattle some can be a little ruff with sheep, our red is good on both but our blue is ruff on sheep, we also have a workin pitbull and he also does a great job but wont nip,cheers for the vid.

[JurisDocster]

Border collies are "Headers" and Cattle Dogs are "Heelers." Heelers can work the cattle without getting kicked. We've used them for years and for cattle, you can't beat heelers. They'll nip a cows heel and actually "ride" the kick and fly through the air for fun. There are dogs suited for each job. Heelers are too rough (generally) for sheep or goats.

[MKFaizi]

Reckon ya'll could use a couple of other heelers who are pretty bored? Sadly, my daughter and her friend brought these two home and I have no cattle or space for them to run and chase. Good dogs but I know no one could want them. So, I have to keep them. I love them but I know that I do not have a good home for them.

[ly9898]

Border collies are the best herding dogs there are

[hogo1]

border collies for cattle?

[havenjm]

Ought to get some border collies.

[cetrulo]

yeah - until you need to actually move something - rather than have it stared at.
