Our old heeler was in LOVE with water. Always wanted to be in it... would play with a hose squirting at her for hours if you let her. She's try to attack the water.. she was amazing! RIP AUSSIE <3
Riskyrock. I have 2 a red and a blue. We got both of our as puppies from Call Me Farms in Florida. Very healthy pups and great lady to deal with. She gas an on line site to. My twos dad is Jacko, and Wednesday is their aunt. Highly recommend.
Where did you get your dog... I'm in Georgia and I just lost my beloved Red to cancer... looking for another.... the house is entirely too quiet and my jack russell is getting very uppity with out a ACD to keep him in line.
Pepper is too cute! Our cattle dog does this in the kiddie pool too. Our border collie rolls over and over in the water and dunks her head underwater. Crazy dogs :)
my cattle dog passed away over a year ago and i still miss her badly-she was my best frend and did everything with me.trying to talk my wife in to getting another but no luck-she loved "patch" as much as i did but does not want the work or the pain of losing another pet..
So beautiful!! My red cattle dog LOVES her little wading pool also but she won't lie down and put her tummy in the water. She'll only stand in it and put her head right under :0)
lol my akita / red heeler and my rotweiler / chihuaha / daschund are afradi of there little pool. haha if there not scared of it they'll only drink the water!! XD lol.
Whoa Akita red heels... man what a combo.. I had one akita and one red heal mix, they love each other... I always joked they sould be one dog... ha ha now I see you got him.
How sweet! I bought my heeler a baby pool, yet he chose to eat a hole through it from being so excited to have a pool. LOL Then again, he destroys anything in sight!
I have a blue heeler and she has an aversion to water - but she's a rescue dog & may not have been acclimated to water when she was a puppy.
The only time she has fully gone into the water was when another dog was retrieving a stick from the lake... but she swam in to get it instead!!! Hilarious, how competition can motivate a heeler to overcome its fear!!! Hahaha...
beautiful, could have watched this for an hour and still been laughing, what a happy dog. Another thing to get on list for mine. she would fit in a washing up bowl right now! H
Haha that was very funny. I just love ACDs, mine bites the water and then snaps at the splashes. And he rolls exactly in the grass after going into the water like yours does. Btw mine doesnt like swimming very much, he will only come if I go underwater to 'rescue' me. Do the other ACDs have that aswell?
When we had Bandit, 'took him in the fishin boat (about 16 yrs old - he lived to be over 18) those pesky waves were sneaking up on us, and the wake got a few good bites. He got fa few good head dunks too! amazing how 1 dog in the boat means no fish either! must've barked at the wake for an hour or more... too funny
Reminds me of my ACD! She snorkles, blows bubbles, and dunks her head in and grabs toys that sink to the bottom lol. It's so cute! I'll have to make a video of it!
my friends heeler is short n fat, it brings u rocks 2 throw, and they had 2 move it outside cuz it had gas all the time that could clear a room :s really fun dog tho, quirky
They really are a handful unless occupied. About the gas though, Pepper burps. I honestly have never known her to pass gas the "other" way. Saves wear and tear on the other end, and evidently it keeps you from getting kicked out of the house!
@whiteoakfarm Haha yeah acd's constantly want to please you so they will do anything to get your attention. My friend had one that would not only bring her rocks but stick, leaves, mouths full of dirt. The dog was just trying to be helpful haha too bad she was doing the opposite.
That is SO cute! My ACDiva, Sydney, can't get enough of the water now, but she didn't start swimming in deep water until she was 4 years old. She seems to reinvent herself all the time! Thanks for sharing Pepper's video! :-)
@SmashMan140 Mine too. He's gone now, but he hated water. He would put his mouth over my arm when I would wrestle him into the tub for a bath. I knew he wouldn't bite me, he was too good a boy, but he sure wanted me to think he would. The only time I saw him voluntarily get wet was imitating a black lab we were fostering. He watched her bark at sprinklers and then attack them, and decided that must be fun. He gave it a try and found it over rated. She left and he never got wet again.
When I went to pick her up as a pup she jumped in (and under the water) in a horse trough, zipped out and splashed into my lap! I should have seen it coming... A baby pool is a must, the sturdier the better. Enjoy your baby boy. I'd love to see him.
how cute!! she's beautiful. it's amazing the "games" dogs come up with.. my cocker spaniel has some funny ones of his own.. they're almost like little rituals!
if that is your land we see in that video then i am VERY, very jealous!! i would love to have a lot of land like that just so that i could have lots of dogs :)
She's a cutie! They say if you don't give a cattle dog a job, she'll invent her own. Glad to see Pepper came up with an entertaining and non-destructive job. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, a comment from the famous billroch. <oh we are not worthy...> ANOTHER SMART CATTLE DOG is my favorite ACD vid, it's the best. It successfully captures the breed's quiet, no nonsense intelligence. Most of the other videos are of them acting in that hectic, spazzy way, "Dammit, there's a job to do in here somewhere! Must find, must find..." Wolf's attitude is so business-like, "Yes Bill, what is it I can do for you today?"
my heeler LOVES swimming!! he cant wait for us to open the gate to our pool so he can jump in and paddle around!

Well, I got my little guy a pool this year and he couldn't care less. :-(
He swims at the beach. He'll swim out quite a ways after a ball. But he just never got too excited about the pool.
I use the pool as a Chuckit! target and when the ball goes in, Dingo jumps in & wades around for a bit, but that's about it.
And we've had plenty of 100+ days this summer.
