Epic journey of one boy and two heeler puppies

What's usually a little stroll from the house to the barn turns into an epic journey in three feet of snow.

Really cute - I live in Quebec and we get lots of snow and my dog (lab/husky), after a couple of times floundering thru the stuff, learned as a pup to tunnel through powder - much easier for him and he'd poke his nose out once in a while for a good breath - lots of fun

I'd never seen dogs tunnel through the snow before this. I was thinking about this vid over the weekend, as I strolled down the now dirt path to the barn. We'll see what this winter brings!

LOVED this. Those three did great breaking trail. Good thing it wasn't heavy wet snow otherwise the going would have been near impossible. Thanks for sharing, it was a hoot.

Thanks. you are so nice! Heelers have this philosophy, I think, of never never never give up!

[Wazgear]

Good stuff.  Did the pups tails freeze off?

Hi Wazgear, hah! no, unfortunately the man I got them from bobbed their tails. Something I would not do. But we love em anyway. ;-)

Is this music from the Romeo & Juliet ballet? I love it!

I'd say the red one is the smarter of the two dogs - he/she let's the kid and the blue heeler do all the work throughout the entire ordeal. lol

Great vid! I loved it. By the way my Nic is made up of the names of two Heelers I used to own.

brilliant, absolutely loved it. Just got in touch with a breeder and have a pup on order for maybe october, my first acd, wanted one for years and so now am crossing off the days on the wall by a mounting pile of pre puppy stuff, hows that for pre planning! Your two are fab, such great dogs! Love the music too havent heard that for years.

your ACD probably had the same cancer mine had-it's first symptom was anemia. I am looking for another... but with school, life, and work, I simply don't have the proper time for training/socialization like I did with Y Z. I have a vid of him on the beach a month or so before he passed away.

Go get another one ! ! My first ACD died 4 years ago of "anemia." I tried living without one (an ACD) and simply could NOT ! So.......I found a reputable breeder.....and bought another. And am GLAD I did !

Bravo. Two thumbs up!

this is wonderful! i especially love the "peter and the Wolf" music! i just lost my ACD to cancer August 10. still having a hard time, and watching ACD videos helps!
