That was just great! The first and last catch were really nice. And that last second throw was great, too! An ASCD and Van Halen to boot? lol, great video, and congrats!

Thanks. He's a really good dog. I get lots of compliments on him. I got him from the shelter when he was 2-3 years old, so I don't know his background. He has a square build and no tan markings. I read up on stumpies and he seems to fit the description. Thanks for the comments. Sorry I took so long to respond. I guess I don't really check them enough.  I saw you have a red stumpy. They are such great dogs! Thanks again.

He's leggy. I'm thinking he really is an Australian Stumpy Tailed Cattle Dog. Too many folks get them confused with ACD's. Nice dog btw.

@flagwaver1969 You may be just the person I am looking for. I have a Blue Heeler, but he has the short tail. Now, sadly, here in the Southwest, USA, people will Dock the tail. He is a rescue, so not sure how to tell if he is a Stumpy Heeler/Blue Heeler mix, or not. I love both the same, so it does not matter, but I am curious because even the experts seem to disagree on Google. I just put up a video of him (Nugget) asking that question. Maybe you could chime in? I think Owen is a Stumpy as well.
