Joseph I'm sure there's a dog out there that needs you. I adopted to Jack Russells that most awesome dogs in the world I had to put down three Jack Russells in the last 10 years but. Trust me it'll heal your heart
@@TheRelger Many years ago I had a lovely beagle named Molly, she stole my heart, unfortunately cancer stole her from me, it took me 12 years to attach myself to another dog, and then I realized what I had deprived myself of.
I had a blue healer and she was such a great dog, and amazingly tough! Someone's German Shepherd got testy with her, and she instantly knocked it off it's feet and onto its back. Then did the same thing to a great big Malamute totally shocking the owner. No matter how big the dog was she would try to push them down with her nose and assert dominance. Very loyal and protective. She would read my body language. I was jogging and 2 guys stepped out of the darkness suddenly and I took a step back momentarily. That was all it took. She jumped at them twice sending them back peddling and I could hear her teeth loudly snap each time, but she never bit them. Just backed them off. She could go from snarling at a threat to wagging her ass being friendly if I just said "say hi". She did 40 mile mountain bikes with me in Oregon, and rode ocean waves on the back of my kayak. Best dog ever and I will always miss her badly!
@@EVERGLOW828 Without wishing to be impolite or negative I'm sure God had bigger issues to deal with, like the whether to oversee the extinction of tens of thousands of creatures he once thought were a good idea and then changed his mind. Ensuring that we had dogs as companions was very considerate of him/her. Dog and human evolved together symbiotically for mutual benefit. 'Pupper' was indeed fortunate to find a human that shared a bond as strong as the poster describes, but what does God do about the millions of dogs that meet entirely different fates not worth mentioning? How blessed are they to be at the hands of us, or God? Two sides to every coin. With respect.
@@paulmckenzie4291 God gives us free Will to take care of this land and it’s animals. God will have a place for those who are Cruel and evil. Also let’s not make this about you, I was giving condolences to someone who lost their beloved family member. Go read the Bible and get answers for yourself. With respect of course…
@@EVERGLOW828 I assume the huge irony of your reply is intended because all the evidence suggests we aren't exactly doing a cracking job of looking after the land and animals with our god-given free will, are we? Quite the opposite. I'm sure there's some twisted biblical logic that explains the greed, destruction, violence, hunger and suffering but the facts speak for themselves. As far as making it about me I'm not the one imposing my beliefs without invite. Sanctimony. Read the dictionary, you'll find the meaning.
Wow, my heeler saved my life when I seriously I was taking my last breath. July 27, 2014 back highway nowhere Wyoming. Had been stranding and trying to find help in 90+ mph winds. On a bridge over rr tracks a semi trucks passing wind literally pick my 135 pound up and blew me over the side. I went over and fell, they told me '65, I landed on a cement slope, and all I felt was unbearable pain. I didn't lose consciousness, and knew they would never find me, tried to move. I knew it was the end, actual said "God save me or take me home", as I was drowning on my own blood. I heard Pepper barking above, just thankful he was alive but didn't realize he was busying saving me. Somehow he had stop one of the few passing cars and had somehow convinced them to call the state trooper, and then convinced him I was down below in the darkness. He called rescue, all unknown to me at the time. Soon I saw lights, shining down but they couldn't find me. Then one threw a light and it slid down the slope and I was able to stop it with my unbroken arm. Then the whole crew came down. They got me to the top and the officer told me my dog saved me. I was prepped and put on what they called a fixed wing aircraft - didn't really see it. I was flown 300 miles to Swedish Hospital here in Denver. 107 broken bones, a collapsed lung. They said I had lost my complete blood volume and surviving on little pockets of blood. 3 weeks in a coma, 26 screws, 2 rods and 2 plates. Broken pelvis, back, neck, ribs, left ankle, left wrist. Sad, I never saw Pepper again. He'd been given away because no one told animal control that I survived, they didn't believe I could have. My recovery was amazing. But I still shed a tear every time I think of him.
Thanks for your story.what you went thru I can’t imagine..I hope you are doing well now ..I lived and worked around blue healers on a remote cattle station in the kimberlies in Western Australia in the early 80s and experienced how tough and resilient they are and extremely protective ..☮️
My story isn't as crazy as yours. I just got kicked out of my home by my ex fiancee and she wouldn't give me time to find me and my heeler a place so she gave him away. His name was Winston and he was my only friend back then haha. Turned my world upside down when she got rid of him. He's a lot happier now without me though.
I had blue heelers for 20 years. My last lived to 16 years 10 months. They are hard, hard work for the first 4-5 years but incredible dogs if you have patience and energy. Super fast and agile, protective, loyal, stubborn as a mule, highly intelligent. I still love them so much, in my heart for life.
I've seen a Bluey convince a huge angry mickey bull (never been yarded before) that going in the yard was the safest course of action. First he grabbed it by the nose, but the bull tried to smash the dog into the railings, so he darted around and grabbed it's back leg, hard, and hung on for grim death while the bull kicked wildly, dog flapping like a flag in a high wind, until the bull bellowed loudly and bolted towards the opening, bluey snapping at its heels all the way. As soon as the gate shut the dog came prancing back towards us, tongue hangin out, looking for someone to heap praise on him. A unique character.
Yes, they are not called 'heeler' for nothing. Very 'hard' dogs, mostly, they can be too hard to work with some cattle, but great with ornery ones, and that's what they were bred for.
@@Jesse-B they are at their very best flushing mean bulls - they seem to thrive on the danger. They are truly fearless and amazing doggies. I’ve seen one kicked by a bull so high - he flew twenty feet up - the river brush was too thick to get my horse in - but that heeler dove in and got the job done and was pretty proud.
Witnessed this myself recently, 2100 lb bull got out and old Synch didn’t even wait for the door to open, out the window chasing his ass back in, he knows afternoons are feed instead of hay and would have came back willingly but she gave him motivation to do it now
@@Jesse-B nah it wasnt a game to the dog she was runnin em out of energy knowing theres 2 she wanted to keep em moving dogs arent dumb they know how to wear out an opponent
Rescued a blue heeler from dog pound in 2001ish. 9 weeks old, found in a field alone. She spent 13 years with us, had to put her down in 2016. Hands down the most loyal, fearless, smartest dog I have ever had. She was a bit crazy, real stubborn, but smart as a whip and no doubt would of laid her life on the line for my wife, son or myself. I miss my Scribbles...RIP girl.
@@MPjustaman Not yet. Moved to another state last year, mom passed last year so have not had the opportunity. We are considering perhaps later this year looking for another.
I worked as a vet tech during all 4 years of college. The practice was in farm country and many of our clients had heelers. They are strong-willed, athletic and courageous cattle dogs that are truly relentless. This video is the epitome of the breed. Those coyotes are child's play to her. Good job, pup!
I have a cattle dog mix. He's mixed with something big and is 70 lbs. He is not athletic, and not fast at all. He is however, RELENTLESS. Energy at all times of the day. He gets tired sure, but can turn it back on immediately. He is never the first one to stop playing. He may not have gotten the agility of an ACD, but he got the energy, and I love it haha.
I lost my heeler. It was a sad day. He was the most agravating dog I have ever had and I have had many. The two things he loved most was my wife and my pickup truck. My wife and I had to spell the word truck when used in our conversations if "Peppy",our heeler, was around or he would go beserk! He was my buddy and I miss him more than I can say!
Due to age and disability I am now a blue heeler owner. I used to have a Belgium Malinois or Pitt my whole life. After one year of owning a blue I consider myself blessed. Great dogs.
my belgian mal passed in october last year. almost 15 years. she was program failure. have my daughters pit mix now. bring my blue boy pup home this weekend. my sister has two and works with them. more then excited to get to work with this boy. it seams alot of mal owners either have worked with healers or have transitioned into owning one.
@@matthewvankay4709 They are great dogs. The biggest difference I can tell from a mal vs blue is a mal will more instinctively protect and blindly follow commands. A blue tends to be more settled and are independent thinkers once mature. However my blue was already full grown and set in her ways when I got her. They are good dogs but I have never raised nor trained a blue like I have my mal and pitts. Congratulations and good luck on your new blue dog.
They're deceptively strong for only weighing fifty pounds at most. Powerful, agile and clever dogs. They're not for everyone, but damn are they smart and loyal.
Farmer let his dog work before at the very end he took the shot. It appeared the coyotes had a den nearby that they would not abandon otherwise the dog would have run them off in the first encounter. Too many coyotes and they start hunting domestic livestock. Too few coyotes and the varmints like groundhogs, mice, rats, etc overrun the farmland. Balance is critical.
this dog's body language says otherwise - he chases them until they turn against him, then he runs away; rather typical, instinctive behavior; still a smart dog
I had a blue heeler he didn't have any training but he knew when to attack if someone or something dangerous was coming up and boy howdy was strong one coyote he bit into he almost revealed his ribcage while killing it but then many years when we were moving from Oklahoma to Oregon we had to give him away to another home. I MISS HIM.
@@smbchc No thats what he was told to do and a normal trait of a dingo , gunshot at the end was after the owner let him pull them out .Heeler is an Australian cattle dog we have everywhere here on farms . Bit Feral , but a Fierce and super smart Dog .
Its not trying to draw them into the open, its chasing them out of its field until they gang up on it. Then it comes back to its owner who's probably sitting in a combine or other equipment. Heelers usually don't want to stray far from their person. It would probably come up into the equipment with its owner if the owner offered.
Had a cattle dog as a kid. A cat couldn't be found and the dog was casually instructed to find it with zero expectation that she would. A while later the dog comes trotting back down the driveway with the cat following a short distance behind.
I was visiting a friend who owns a Blue Healer. During the night I got out of bed to visit the toilet. It was pitch black as I headed back to the sofa upon which I was sleeping so I shuffled very slowly in the general direction of the sofa. Unknown to me as I approached the sofa, Dakota the Blue Healer who was sleeping with me, very gently took my hand in her mouth to guide me the rest of the way to my bed. I was astounded and decided then and there I must have one of these dogs one day.
my family had a red heeler when i was growing up that lived to be 17. When she was 8 or so she jumped our 6ft concrete fence (we lived in the suburbs) and then came back to the front door two days later, we were astounded, they are extremely intelligent dogs.
Make sure to teach them obedience, that's the only thing about heelers. Theyre incredibly intelligent dogs so if they don't have good training they can be quite willful. Aside from that they love learning, I mean it's amazing. Teaching tricks to heelers is easy as can be. If you get a heeler and you're loving, attentive and on occasion firm... You cant even imagine how loving and loyal your heeler will be.
I ended up adopting a heeler/border mix thinking it was a lab mix. Best friend I've ever had she's so intuitive, friendly, and social. Out of all the recues I've lived with in my life she's the closest I've had to a real human compaion. My advice i+s invest in training its very rewarding I hope you find your heeler!
My son had a blue heeler/Aussie shepherd mix for 14 years. Incredibly smart, loyal and athletic. Great trail dog -- tireless. Best frisbee catcher I ever saw!
I’m very surprised reading all these comments. As a Aussie I didn’t realise they were so popular in the USA?? They are hard ass dogs, and from all the ones I’ve know personally, they don’t socialise well with other dogs.
@@Rosesraspberries72 youtube 'Skidboot' he was a talented blue heeler that made celerity status in America. American's love blue heelers or sometimes referred to as cattle dogs.
I have a blue heeler and we worked at a guest ranch in Yellowstone a little bit ago. She chased off a damn grizzly bear from the corrals.....craziest dog I’ve ever had. She’s so smart and brave.
My cattle dogs save my butt so many times. Today my red ran down one and bit it on the butt. I don't know but those dogs and the yotes have there own way of communicating. They are smart! I figured they would save me from bears as well.
I love my red healer! No matter what I am doing or where I'm at he's always behind me watching, and making eye contact with me. There's nothing like a good dog!
Amen! To the great dog comment. It always amazes me when someone will try to play up an obviously useless dog as great. When it is obvious that their dog, even though they love it and I respect that, does not come close to a real handy, dog like these Heelers, or Border Collie's, or Australian Shepperd's.
@@christhompson3750 I was never saying the heeler could take them down. My reply was simply about the stamina. A heeler could run them until they literally couldn’t run anymore as heeler have ridiculous amounts of stamina
@@raymontes2307 true. But I have never seen a dog so in tune with their owners thoughts and emotions like a Heeler. Once they bond with you, its unmatched by any other breed as far as I can tell. All friends are great, but Heelers are quite unique. That's made it difficult to find another. Enjoy your blue. I have No doubt he is a very big part of your family. Best companions.
The book of Romans tells us that “All creation groans with anticipation” for the Earth made new. Why would they desire it if they couldn’t be a part of it? Both Luke and Matthew tell us that our Heavenly Father knows how to give us gifts better than our own parents. He will reunite you with your dog. Let us all remain faithful until that day. Blessings to you and your family.
@@clarksargeant8446 mankind was given dominion over all living creatures whether great or small..

I somehow doubt that we will be reuniting with killer hornets, lime disease infected ticks, badgers, parasitic worms... Trail back to Adam and Eve and try to understand that we were created to God's image!
Lol I couldn't stop laughing cuz it was like the healer was just laughing like "slow ass hahaha hey come here, oh you gotta be faster than that" lol and he looks right at you every time with that pup smile of "I did good". Very well trained.
If those coyotes wanted to, that dog would be dead. They are the second fastest wild canines in the world. Reaching speeds of up to 42mph. Only rivaled by painted dogs who can reach speeds of up to 45mph.
@@joolsmacgrools1288 Coyotes are damn intelligent. Why do you think they're all over NA. They're also no pushovers. They're just overshadowed by other animals because they're the underdogs in their habitat, along with bobcats.
There's a scene in Mel Gibson's Road Warrior movie where his Blue jumps on top of a rock and stands off against a bad guy to protect the injured Road Warrior and he takes an arrow for him. Its an infuriating and sad scene but for anyone who's owned one, there's absolutely no doubt their Blue would do the same! At 70 I don't have the energy to own a Blue right now but when Snoop was alive we did everything together. She's 15 years gone and I still grieve.
That actual dog was about to be put down and they went to the dogs home saved him and he spent the rest of his days after the film on a farm to a caring owner
Had a blue healer. Max. Awesome dog. Us kids were on the porch one day playing and 2 pit bulls came towards the porch. Aggresdive. They were not planning to be nice. Within 2 seconds Max had one on his back by the throat and the other one ran off. As soon as we all got in the house max let the pit go and he ran away and didnt even think about stopping. In a million years he wouldnt have been able to outrun max. But max just came inside. Needless to say he got lots of pats on the back that day.
The pity is that they have more right to be there than the dog, yet they get shot, what’s wrong with live and let live. It’s where this world is going soo wrong
I have had the privilege to own 2 Blue Heelers in my life at different times. Incredible dogs both of them. Loyal, hardworking, never give up type of breed.
My best friends family had a blue. I was there the night they brought her home, and it took lass than 15 minutes to train her to kennel up! 10 more minutes, and pepper was kenneling, and pulling the door "shut"... I knew she was going to be special! She lived to 16, and was the best pal two boys could ask for... She knew the difference between papas slipper, and mamas slippers. Knew the tv remote from the vcr... She flossed hed teeth after dinner. I also glove trained her, but that was just a game we played... She would bring you the glove, and you were in for it... She could wear out a whole pack of us kids, and have energy to spare! Edited to say now you got my eyeballs leaking thinking about her...
Nobody should ever underestimate a Heeler. They are extremely powerful, smart and cunning. They can turn on the Dingo side of their breed when they want to. This dog was gaming the coyotes and the coyotes knew they were being had. Great video. Blue is an awesome dog.
The guy filming should have taken the shot when he had it, yes the dog had it under control but the heeler baited both into great shots on multiple occasions
agreed , I love my heeler . that mouth is deceptive , it looks small then just morphs into a hellish thing 4 times the size when any living creature enters my yard.
Notice how she is consistently coming back to check on her handler throughout dealing with the coyotes. My heeler does this, always an "Okay mom are you good? Cause I'm good! I'll be right back just gotta handle this" These dogs truly have hearts of gold
And if it was a German Shepherd would you nag at people to say mutter instead of mom cause it's German. It's a breed that's been around for like 200yrs, it might have originated in Australia but guess what the breed didn't stay there. Sheesh.
My heeler does that also, will constantly circle back and check on me (also looking for instructions) and then go back to business. VERY intelligent dogs.
The blue healer I had back in the 90’s would have killed them both quickly. They would have looked like two plates of spaghetti and meatballs. He never retreated for any reason. He took out a badger once, a much more formidable foe. The bobcat ordeal scared me the most. But I’m bragging, and that sucks. Cool video, thank you for posting.
My granddaughter has a blue heeler , when she visits my homestead she brings him . My Ridgeback and him chase each other all day . These dogs can run 20 miles straight, get a drink of water and run another 20 . You dog was having so much fun 😂
Sorry for your loss sir. Lost my bluetick hound about a year ago and I still miss him badly. Guess I always will... And that's ok I never want to forget him. Others will live in his name i can promise you that. Hope you have found peace. Blessings
@@rapiid2812 I speak from experience as someone who's owned both a Red Heeler and two German Shepherds. They're both excellent herding dogs, but Heelers typically have a better temperament.
I don't know, Australian shepherds are pretty great themselves! Had an Aussie but I've never had a Healer but I've been around a lot of them! I would take either!
My Australian shepherd lab mix would call our cats home. I'd ask him where is Mojo? He'd bark out into the neighborhood and Mojo would come running. He was smart and protective. But he was so kind and gentle.
My Aussie Shepherd, Mitsy, had to go check on her horses every morning but there was also something else down there I never figured out what, probably rats/mice judging by the owl's poop, but it was close to the road and she got hit. It was my dog n my dad had my 10 year old self make the call on a huge vet bill or... 44 years ago n I remember it like it was yesterday. Me, 2 brothers, horses, motorbikes, endless fly balls n grounders n we could not wear that sweet dog out!
iAnarchist Not only that, but they also share many traits with Dingoes, including one that no other breed of dog is capable of like being able to rotate their head a full 180°.
One of the most sensible dogs there is, loyal, full of energy, protective without having to tear to pieces. They know how to warn predators not to mess with them and will do it all day if necessary.
Yes, the dog is protecting his two-legger. I love dogs. We have 2 useless mutts; we love them a lot. I'm convinced either of them would do anything to protect one of us. LOL - not as effectively as a blue healer, Im thinking.
Mate you've got the Australia's best farm dog right there. Owned them all my life... they're smart, tuff and relentless they just about built our country.
No one really wants to engage here. Sure, heelers are brave and tough, but they also have a predisposition for cunning. Most of the commentary here seems to miss the main characteristic common to all dogs, including wild ones. That is, they go for the main chance, and they're very good at estimating the odds. Unless the dog is bred and trained to make it a total psycho, they will generally avoid going beyond display unless they are confident that they can attack without sustaining damage. A confident man can generally face down a single dog, but one who shows fear is almost certain to get bitten. The odds change rapidly as the number of dogs increase. But even then, it's never the one in front of you that you need to be worried about, and I think that this heeler is well aware of this.
Vitabrick Snailslime A confident man can also die facing a dog depending on which dog he face, no man take on a dog that is 150 pounds or more coming full force, too much weight too handle with the aggression
@@Moose_skins yes very true. All depending on the dog & it's disposition. When I was 4, I got a puppy. A sheperd dog, sarplaninac breed. When I was a few yrs older, I would explore & wander the hills behind my house. On one of these explorations, we encountered a pair of coyotes. I didn't even see the coyotes, but my dog did, & went charging into them. I've never seen my dog run so fast. The coyotes split, my dog kept his charge going. Bringing down the male coyote by the neck. Tearing a massive chunk of flesh out. The female was attacking my dog's backside, but he was too engrossed upon tearing up the male coyote he caught. After about a minute, the female coyote with her repeated attacks got my dog chasing after her. She played a cat & mouse game, leading my dog away from her mate. I looked at the male coyote, he was still alive, massive chunks of his neck torn open, & bleeding profusely. Coyote didn't survive. My dog was chasing the female & didn't come back after repeated calls. My dog & female coyote disappeared over the next hill. I went home to tell my father what happened & that I lost Boogie, my dog. My dad was pissed. My grandfather & I went looking for my dog. We hiked back about 15 miles, & it was well into the night, before my dog came trotting back up to us. I showed my grandfather the male coyote, it was still alive, just barely. Grandfather said it won't live thru it's injuries. Grandfather & father forbid me to ever wander the hills alone. Anyways, my dog grew into a huge dog. 142 lbs at his very last vet visit. Any large sized dog comes charging u, & the dog's disposition is not backing down, ur going to get knocked down, & torn to shreds. Doesn't matter if u were a 7 ft tall 300 lbs, heavily muscled man, u'll be torn to shreds & killed.
jacob pond I have a different view. If a dog bites an arm you only truly have 2 other limbs to fight with in order to still be in control. One of those limbs you cannot necessarily fight with because you wont be able to generate enough power for a kick that will stop the dog. And as for your other arm. All you can do is punch or hit. But if that dog is determined it will not, under any circumstance, let go. Until you are no longer in control. It is not all about brain games here. You have a small amount of fighting time before your body starts to freeze up from the pain being inflicted to whatever limb. You will become to weak to fight. And you will lose to much blood to keep going. You will feel the force of the dogs jaw ripping off your flesh with all but its bare teeth. When its done with that it'll find something else to bite onto if you are still fighting. So...thats why people are scared to fight a brave dog. Coyotes know this to.
My first healer and I got into a fight with two drug dealers and their two pit bulls. We won. These are amazing dogs. My current aussie is a real hoot. They are so loyal to family.
My friend had a dog for 14 years that was part coyote and part blue healer ,he was found in the CA desert crossing the road by himself,he was as big as the palm of your hand at the time,he had the blue heeler head and bone structure,but the fluffy tail and beige color of the coyote.
Had a red one few years back. The most protective clever dog we've ever had. Still miss him. What a loyal companion and guard dog for my son n our family. GOD bless you Skippy RIP
Best dogs ever. I was lucky to rescue my dog Sadie, who just died at the age of 16. She was an adventurous, fearless and faithful companion. I miss her everyday.❤️
they are being shot along with the dog-with a camera. what happened to you to make you feel so unlucky that you need to shoot and kill. are you inbred or were you terribly abused and acting out on your impotent rage by killing whatever you can get away with killing.
@@piereb1748 It seems like you might be the one with a serious problem. There are plenty of good reasons to kill coyotes. "are you inbred or were you terribly abused and acting out on your impotent rage by killing whatever you can get away with killing." That can only be described as a pathetic question from a pathetic person.
Funny seeing such an Aussie dog in another country. They are great dogs,very smart,high energy & protective. Back in the day every builders or farmers truck had a blue or red cattle dog riding shotgun.Nobody stole your tools!
God bless Australia for breeding heelers. I love these dogs, smart, loving, and the only dogs I've ever seen that can herd cats. Mine just drops on top of them as he zooms past. The cats instantly get the idea to stay ahead of him. 😂
@@notimportant4810 There is a lot of focus on another Aussie breed the Kelpie .They emerged as a distinct breed about the same time as the heeler with some similar blood lines. Kelpies are a bit gentler ,very smart,very trainable .They will run all day ,popular in off farm applications like obedience & agility comps. The best ones bring big $ in farming circles.
@@NELCARM I've seen pictures, but I've never seen one in person. I like my heeler's rough and tumble personality, he's a real treat even if he's hard on chew toys.
@@notimportant4810 get him a couple of the square interactive firearm targets to chew. The ones that look like a + symbol on all 6 sides. My Ranger went through all his chew toys within a couple days. I had this target before I got him, and it's still going strong almost a year later.
Our Red Heeler female was attacked a few years back by two coyotes. They caught her by her back legs, but she was able to get away from them. While the coyotes continued to chase her, she ran across a road and under a passing car without getting ran over by the wheels. She then turned back and gave chase to the coyotes. Despite having serious injury to her legs from which she recovered, she has never failed to challenge the coyotes on our farm.
I’ve had heelers all my life and can read their body language. He was loving every second of this. One big game. He just needs another red or blue next to him to finish them suckers off for good like his human dad did.🇦🇺
Yeah I had a good laugh, looked just like my Red when he's being a pain in the balls pestering other dogs.. Love cattle dogs, don't see myself ever having any other breed!
@@Trucker_Josh Poster said in another comment thread they were waiting for rifle to be brought to them so they could get a shot: the human prob wouldn't let the heeler dance with coyotes if it wasn't smart and agile enough: the heeler was keeping them occupied and having fun doing it.
Unless you see one of those dogs in action for a full day you can't appriciate their cardio and endurance. It is off the charts, and it looks like it just ran these coyotes until they where totally exhausted. I have seen one that was only two year old, and had never seen a cow before. He ran right at about 20 cattle pipping at the heals and in 10 minutes had all 20 or so fully rounded up! This dog followed us on mountain bikes for probably 10 miles running in circles while a springer spaniel just following the springer was exhausted 3/4 of the trip and the heeler showed no slowing down at the end of the day.
I have had the privilege to live on 40 acres bordering a small river in Northern Minnesota for the last 21 years......When I first moved to a rural setting, I was of the belief that all beings great and small deserve the chance for existence. I still feel that way. For the first 7 years or so, no predation problems. My ex and I kept a mixed flock of poultry: laying hens, meat chickens, ducks, turkeys, and geese. Then it happened: we had about 30 birds disappear in 3 days.....a fox was the culprit, and I liquidated him with two shots of #2 steels. That was the beginning. See right about then the fur market tanked overseas.....trapping became very expensive......you couldn't even cover the cost of fuel to justify putting out a line......Then we just couldn't keep livestock.....After the fox, came the coyotes....They would raise a litter of pups every year, and you could hear them every time they brought down a deer.....then the coyotes moved out, and the wolves came.....I came upon them killing a good sized, healthy whitetail buck in my backyard.....snarling, I could hear the ripping flesh....the big male leader, he charged me, and I missed....federally protected or not, all I could think about was my two boys being stalked as they walked the 1/4 mile to the school bus pickup......So....I had to leave off free ranging poultry. I just couldn't keep it around....I image that I have lost 200-300 birds from 2007 to 2015.....then I just gave up.....last year I raised 11 turkeys to butcher weight, but had to keep them completely enclosed. They weren't afforded the opportunity to free range and ate commercial pelleted feed....and tasted that way....Nature abhors a vacuum. The pack of wolves, that I mentioned earlier, made the mistake of taking out two yearling bulls from a neighboring cattle operation.....The federal trappers liquidated the whole pack. It took about a week for the coyotes to come back. And still I can't keep livestock. So, I have lost birds to coyotes, fishers, raccoons, feral & domestic cats, and dogs. The value of a good dog is priceless, and I can sure understand why that rancher took a shot...because that same pair of coyotes would smell the blood and placenta of a new born calf, and they gotta' eat......so does the rancher.....what I don't understand is why he didn't shoot them sooner?
@I Em Hoo I Iz . Wow , whatever your name is? . It was still funny no matter what he was trying to do. . I know how it works. .. but it was cool and still funny . The dog is very smart, and I get it...but it made me laugh.....and in the mean time, the dog looked like he was having fun. doing his job.
Appears to be a mated pair and one was trying to defend the other from the dog, might have even had a den of pups down in that ditch. Not that it really matters now, this was posted 2 years ago. Good dog. Kind of felt bad at the end though, the one that got shot. I realize these are considered nuisance animals, and dangerous, but the coyotes around here are the only reason that the prairie dog population hasn't skyrocketed. They do serve a purpose.
Gray Wolves should be reintroduced and radio collared to naturally control their numbers. If they did have pups, I hope it wasn't the mother that was shot.
@@restorationlandscapingkankakee Around here it wouldn't be the Grey wolves, it'd be the Red wolves--unfortunately, their numbers are very low and are often mistaken for coyotes. Pretty soon the only place we'll be able to see these animals is a zoo or a museum.
@@Arkine13 I just saw a documentary of the Red Wolf preserve in North Carolina where they paired Red Wolf couples and sterilized any Red Wolf-Coyote hybrids to build up the area to be able to repel wandering Coyotes from entering. Quite interesting.
It's true! In southern Oregon the ground squirrels overrun the hay and cattle fields and the stupid guys love to shot the coyotes...then spend wads on repairing their tractors and harvesters from the damages to the ground. Then they gave to spend a ton of time chasing tiny little rodents and shooting them. They never make a dent! We had ONE guy who was slowly teaching the numnuts that the coyotes were actually a money saver and were no threat to full grown cattle. Coyotes are not really a serious threat if you know what your doing. This looked Like a pair protecting a litter, and one of them looked really sickly..
My dog of 14 years went to that pound in the sky last November. I am in the process of moving and won't get another until I have a permanent residence. Maybe 2 this time. Dogs are God's s gift to man.
Bahahaha, the Aussie Blue Healer , he’ll run straight through a barb wire fence at full sprint then go back later and apologise to the fence for hurting it ! Bloody legend ! 😜
They don't have tails, they have rudders. They'll beat your shins when they're standing on your toes. Favorite spot for a heeler, nobody gets between you and your pal.
I've met more than one Heeler called "Nip", if the cattle aren't moving fast enough for the dog (generally females, I don't know why), she'll go dart in and nip the cows on the ankle to hurry them up. Cow's will kick out but by the time they react the Heeler's well out of range.
Joe Potato killing them increases their numbers. Healthy big alphas will defend their territory and kill younger males trying to move in. Killing them causes for younger ones to move in split up the territory. You end up with more.
Looked to me like he was waiting for the ok to go ahead w chasing them away. Good dog. Didnt look for fight just kept them away from what he was supposed to. Till dog was told different
Yes sir that dog ahhh i love healers that dog kept pullin em out. I love rots to... If it was a rot you wouldnt have needed to get invloved, he would have pile drived that coyote and drug his ass back to his yard haha dogs love em all.
Love heelers! I have a 6 year old heeler, she is the sweetest, and easiest to get along with dog I've ever had...unless she doesn't know you or like you. She will protect you until her last breath. Her only vice is she's boy (dog) crazy even though she's spayed.
@@Thefishingplumber it clearly states "them" and a span of over 40 years.....meaning I've had several Heelers and Heeler crosses over 40 plus years....each dog lives on the average of 15 years...break it down and you'll see about how many I've owned in over 40 years 😉☺
@@Thefishingplumber yes, exactly. I recently lost one that was 17 years old and he didn't die of natural causes, he died from a rattlesnake bit. Poor guy
Exactly. I've seen it before. It's called hunting. That's why we carry a long 22 out with the dogs. Had foxes try and take out my Siberian Husky one time. Same thing.
Hey blue dog, the eucalypts and the wattle say G'day, you're a long way from home and doing as brilliantly as all the blue dogs do. Hope your happy there, looks like you're enjoying yourself.
Our healer kept rounding up the neighborhood kids. Went outside to see what all the crying was about, ten kids tightly knit into a circle scared to move. Lol Told the story to the cops, then told the story to a rancher who scooped up "Maddie" and called to tell is what a FOKING AMAZING HERDER she was. It turned out great for everyone. May have even wised up a few brats.
Cow Dogs are the most Loyal, Hard Working, Smart Dogs a Man Can ever Have for a Partner. Did you see him looking back waiting for the Man to take the shot after he’d worked the Coyotes? Good Dog!
This reminds me of my dog. One day I got home and two German shepherds had gotten in our backyard. I thought my dog was hurt but it was the other dogs. My dog is really tough and we thought she was just a border collie but she’s actually border collie mixed with blue heeler
An eight pound dog will defend its own core territory. Even against much larger dogs. Try taking your doggie into the shepherd's backyard once.... Canine behavior is something all dog owners should be aware of Geez!
I had a blue heeler for 14 years. The longest and most successful relationship I ever had. He passed several years ago, and I miss him every day.
That’s the problem with dogs. I’ve buried 3 in the last few years.
Don’t have the heart to get another one.

I had a blue healer and she was such a great dog, and amazingly tough! Someone's German Shepherd got testy with her, and she instantly knocked it off it's feet and onto its back. Then did the same thing to a great big Malamute totally shocking the owner. No matter how big the dog was she would try to push them down with her nose and assert dominance. Very loyal and protective. She would read my body language. I was jogging and 2 guys stepped out of the darkness suddenly and I took a step back momentarily. That was all it took. She jumped at them twice sending them back peddling and I could hear her teeth loudly snap each time, but she never bit them. Just backed them off. She could go from snarling at a threat to wagging her ass being friendly if I just said "say hi". She did 40 mile mountain bikes with me in Oregon, and rode ocean waves on the back of my kayak. Best dog ever and I will always miss her badly!
I know that loss, very sorry. Sounds like an awesome buddy!!
Amen! God Blessed us with mans best friend, she sounds like an amazing pupper. 🙏🏽♥️🌈
@@EVERGLOW828 Without wishing to be impolite or negative I'm sure God had bigger issues to deal with, like the whether to oversee the extinction of tens of thousands of creatures he once thought were a good idea and then changed his mind. Ensuring that we had dogs as companions was very considerate of him/her. Dog and human evolved together symbiotically for mutual benefit. 'Pupper' was indeed fortunate to find a human that shared a bond as strong as the poster describes, but what does God do about the millions of dogs that meet entirely different fates not worth mentioning? How blessed are they to be at the hands of us, or God? Two sides to every coin. With respect.

@@EVERGLOW828 I assume the huge irony of your reply is intended because all the evidence suggests we aren't exactly doing a cracking job of looking after the land and animals with our god-given free will, are we? Quite the opposite. I'm sure there's some twisted biblical logic that explains the greed, destruction, violence, hunger and suffering but the facts speak for themselves. As far as making it about me I'm not the one imposing my beliefs without invite. Sanctimony. Read the dictionary, you'll find the meaning.
Wow, my heeler saved my life when I seriously I was taking my last breath. July 27, 2014 back highway nowhere Wyoming. Had been stranding and trying to find help in 90+ mph winds. On a bridge over rr tracks a semi trucks passing wind literally pick my 135 pound up and blew me over the side. I went over and fell, they told me '65, I landed on a cement slope, and all I felt was unbearable pain. I didn't lose consciousness, and knew they would never find me, tried to move. I knew it was the end, actual said "God save me or take me home", as I was drowning on my own blood. I heard Pepper barking above, just thankful he was alive but didn't realize he was busying saving me. Somehow he had stop one of the few passing cars and had somehow convinced them to call the state trooper, and then convinced him I was down below in the darkness. He called rescue, all unknown to me at the time. Soon I saw lights, shining down but they couldn't find me. Then one threw a light and it slid down the slope and I was able to stop it with my unbroken arm. Then the whole crew came down. They got me to the top and the officer told me my dog saved me. I was prepped and put on what they called a fixed wing aircraft - didn't really see it. I was flown 300 miles to Swedish Hospital here in Denver. 107 broken bones, a collapsed lung. They said I had lost my complete blood volume and surviving on little pockets of blood. 3 weeks in a coma, 26 screws, 2 rods and 2 plates. Broken pelvis, back, neck, ribs, left ankle, left wrist. Sad, I never saw Pepper again. He'd been given away because no one told animal control that I survived, they didn't believe I could have. My recovery was amazing. But I still shed a tear every time I think of him.
wow. bittersweet * chills *
Thanks for your story.what you went thru I can’t imagine..I hope you are doing well now ..I lived and worked around blue healers on a remote cattle station in the kimberlies in Western Australia in the early 80s and experienced how tough and resilient they are and extremely protective ..☮️

My story isn't as crazy as yours. I just got kicked out of my home by my ex fiancee and she wouldn't give me time to find me and my heeler a place so she gave him away. His name was Winston and he was my only friend back then haha. Turned my world upside down when she got rid of him. He's a lot happier now without me though.
I had blue heelers for 20 years. My last lived to 16 years 10 months. They are hard, hard work for the first 4-5 years but incredible dogs if you have patience and energy. Super fast and agile, protective, loyal, stubborn as a mule, highly intelligent. I still love them so much, in my heart for life.
I've seen a Bluey convince a huge angry mickey bull (never been yarded before) that going in the yard was the safest course of action. First he grabbed it by the nose, but the bull tried to smash the dog into the railings, so he darted around and grabbed it's back leg, hard, and hung on for grim death while the bull kicked wildly, dog flapping like a flag in a high wind, until the bull bellowed loudly and bolted towards the opening, bluey snapping at its heels all the way. As soon as the gate shut the dog came prancing back towards us, tongue hangin out, looking for someone to heap praise on him. A unique character.
Yes, they are not called 'heeler' for nothing. Very 'hard' dogs, mostly, they can be too hard to work with some cattle, but great with ornery ones, and that's what they were bred for.
@@peterh1875 I guess what stood out in my mind was that the dog was never angry at any point, it was all a game to him.
@@Jesse-B they are at their very best flushing mean bulls - they seem to thrive on the danger. They are truly fearless and amazing doggies. I’ve seen one kicked by a bull so high - he flew twenty feet up - the river brush was too thick to get my horse in - but that heeler dove in and got the job done and was pretty proud.
Witnessed this myself recently, 2100 lb bull got out and old Synch didn’t even wait for the door to open, out the window chasing his ass back in, he knows afternoons are feed instead of hay and would have came back willingly but she gave him motivation to do it now
@@Jesse-B nah it wasnt a game to the dog she was runnin em out of energy knowing theres 2 she wanted to keep em moving dogs arent dumb they know how to wear out an opponent
Rescued a blue heeler from dog pound in 2001ish. 9 weeks old, found in a field alone. She spent 13 years with us, had to put her down in 2016. Hands down the most loyal, fearless, smartest dog I have ever had. She was a bit crazy, real stubborn, but smart as a whip and no doubt would of laid her life on the line for my wife, son or myself. I miss my Scribbles...RIP girl.

@@MPjustaman Not yet. Moved to another state last year, mom passed last year so have not had the opportunity. We are considering perhaps later this year looking for another.
Best dog breed on earth!!!
I worked as a vet tech during all 4 years of college. The practice was in farm country and many of our clients had heelers. They are strong-willed, athletic and courageous cattle dogs that are truly relentless. This video is the epitome of the breed. Those coyotes are child's play to her. Good job, pup!
Australian #1 cattle dog as other countries I'm sure
I agree. The dog was never in danger from the coyotes and did not deserve to be shot.
I have a cattle dog mix. He's mixed with something big and is 70 lbs. He is not athletic, and not fast at all. He is however, RELENTLESS. Energy at all times of the day. He gets tired sure, but can turn it back on immediately. He is never the first one to stop playing. He may not have gotten the agility of an ACD, but he got the energy, and I love it haha.

I lost my heeler. It was a sad day. He was the most agravating dog I have ever had and I have had many. The two things he loved most was my wife and my pickup truck. My wife and I had to spell the word truck when used in our conversations if "Peppy",our heeler, was around or he would go beserk! He was my buddy and I miss him more than I can say!

Well I’m sure you now know they are no retirement dog
Great dogs I’ve had blue Dogs since 1977 they are the best !
my belgian mal passed in october last year. almost 15 years. she was program failure. have my daughters pit mix now. bring my blue boy pup home this weekend. my sister has two and works with them. more then excited to get to work with this boy. it seams alot of mal owners either have worked with healers or have transitioned into owning one.
@@matthewvankay4709 They are great dogs. The biggest difference I can tell from a mal vs blue is a mal will more instinctively protect and blindly follow commands. A blue tends to be more settled and are independent thinkers once mature. However my blue was already full grown and set in her ways when I got her. They are good dogs but I have never raised nor trained a blue like I have my mal and pitts. Congratulations and good luck on your new blue dog.
Brother had a B.M. He trained it all by himself.

Farmer let his dog work before at the very end he took the shot. It appeared the coyotes had a den nearby that they would not abandon otherwise the dog would have run them off in the first encounter.
Too many coyotes and they start hunting domestic livestock. Too few coyotes and the varmints like groundhogs, mice, rats, etc overrun the farmland. Balance is critical.
He’s clearly been trained to pull them in the open. Smart dog.
this dog's body language says otherwise - he chases them until they turn against him, then he runs away; rather typical, instinctive behavior; still a smart dog
I had a blue heeler he didn't have any training but he knew when to attack if someone or something dangerous was coming up and boy howdy was strong one coyote he bit into he almost revealed his ribcage while killing it but then many years when we were moving from Oklahoma to Oregon we had to give him away to another home.

@@smbchcHeelers always return 20 seconds after - its bread into them for Herding purpose😊
Its not trying to draw them into the open, its chasing them out of its field until they gang up on it. Then it comes back to its owner who's probably sitting in a combine or other equipment. Heelers usually don't want to stray far from their person. It would probably come up into the equipment with its owner if the owner offered.
Had a cattle dog as a kid. A cat couldn't be found and the dog was casually instructed to find it with zero expectation that she would. A while later the dog comes trotting back down the driveway with the cat following a short distance behind.
Totally get this. They are little mind readers they are.
LOL, To funny.
I just told my dog I’m reading doggo stories, she wagged her tail and closed her eyes and sighed.

Aww i love it!
Loved my blue heeler, she was my service dog for 11 years, Sadly she passed away, I now have a boarder collie. Loyal and loving animals both.
I have both a border collie and blue heeler. They are an interesting crew to live with seeing how they differ but make it work.
I was visiting a friend who owns a Blue Healer. During the night I got out of bed to visit the toilet. It was pitch black as I headed back to the sofa upon which I was sleeping so I shuffled very slowly in the general direction of the sofa. Unknown to me as I approached the sofa, Dakota the Blue Healer who was sleeping with me, very gently took my hand in her mouth to guide me the rest of the way to my bed. I was astounded and decided then and there I must have one of these dogs one day.
my family had a red heeler when i was growing up that lived to be 17. When she was 8 or so she jumped our 6ft concrete fence (we lived in the suburbs) and then came back to the front door two days later, we were astounded, they are extremely intelligent dogs.
Make sure to teach them obedience, that's the only thing about heelers. Theyre incredibly intelligent dogs so if they don't have good training they can be quite willful. Aside from that they love learning, I mean it's amazing. Teaching tricks to heelers is easy as can be. If you get a heeler and you're loving, attentive and on occasion firm... You cant even imagine how loving and loyal your heeler will be.
I ended up adopting a heeler/border mix thinking it was a lab mix. Best friend I've ever had she's so intuitive, friendly, and social. Out of all the recues I've lived with in my life she's the closest I've had to a real human compaion. My advice i+s invest in training its very rewarding I hope you find your heeler!
I have one. Just the best damn dog I've ever had. He can babysit kids.
Omg that's the sweetest thing I've ever heard

It was keeping them separated, wearing them down. If the owner wasn't there, you'd probably have 2 dead coyotes in the field.

Dog scored at headshot right at the end! Those heelers are amazing marksmen!
The pity is that they have more right to be there than the dog, yet they get shot, what’s wrong with live and let live. It’s where this world is going soo wrong
I have had the privilege to own 2 Blue Heelers in my life at different times. Incredible dogs both of them. Loyal, hardworking, never give up type of breed.
My best friends family had a blue. I was there the night they brought her home, and it took lass than 15 minutes to train her to kennel up! 10 more minutes, and pepper was kenneling, and pulling the door "shut"... I knew she was going to be special! She lived to 16, and was the best pal two boys could ask for... She knew the difference between papas slipper, and mamas slippers. Knew the tv remote from the vcr... She flossed hed teeth after dinner. I also glove trained her, but that was just a game we played... She would bring you the glove, and you were in for it... She could wear out a whole pack of us kids, and have energy to spare!
Edited to say now you got my eyeballs leaking thinking about her...
Nobody should ever underestimate a Heeler. They are extremely powerful, smart and cunning. They can turn on the Dingo side of their breed when they want to. This dog was gaming the coyotes and the coyotes knew they were being had. Great video. Blue is an awesome dog.
The guy filming should have taken the shot when he had it, yes the dog had it under control but the heeler baited both into great shots on multiple occasions
agreed , I love my heeler . that mouth is deceptive , it looks small then just morphs into a hellish thing 4 times the size when any living creature enters my yard.
It's a wide primal jaw. My family had a great red named Rosey. I intend to have one when I have work to do for em
honestly best description ever
C J Mueller Two coyotes would kill that dog if they wanted to. You over estimate a domesticated dog vs two wild coyotes who kill for a living...
Notice how she is consistently coming back to check on her handler throughout dealing with the coyotes. My heeler does this, always an "Okay mom are you good? Cause I'm good! I'll be right back just gotta handle this" These dogs truly have hearts of gold
My bottom bitch does this all the time, extra treats or not.
And if it was a German Shepherd would you nag at people to say mutter instead of mom cause it's German. It's a breed that's been around for like 200yrs, it might have originated in Australia but guess what the breed didn't stay there. Sheesh.
The heeler is trying to seperate the two so it can go to work lol 🤦🏾♂️
My heeler does that also, will constantly circle back and check on me (also looking for instructions) and then go back to business. VERY intelligent dogs.
@@SegiDream it’s just a joke
The dog is having a blast. Heelers live for activity like this.
right my heelers would have so much fun doing this
I agree! There’s no real danger around so he’s just having fun
I was exhausted just watching him ridicule them.
yes they do,
He was playing with them.
If there had been livestock out there he would have killed the coyotes, protect the heard, that's his job.
The blue healer I had back in the 90’s would have killed them both quickly. They would have looked like two plates of spaghetti and meatballs. He never retreated for any reason. He took out a badger once, a much more formidable foe. The bobcat ordeal scared me the most. But I’m bragging, and that sucks. Cool video, thank you for posting.
Bless your blue healer's spirit, and your heart.
My granddaughter has a blue heeler , when she visits my homestead she brings him . My Ridgeback and him chase each other all day . These dogs can run 20 miles straight, get a drink of water and run another 20 . You dog was having so much fun 😂
My blue healer just past last week, man do I miss him. He was a great companion.
I feel for you. They keep their paws on your heart forever.
So sad for your loss. I’ve had mine for 4 years now and wouldn’t know what to do without her
I’m so sorry for your loss 🕊🙏🏽❤️
So sorry for your loss mate.
Sorry for your loss sir. Lost my bluetick hound about a year ago and I still miss him badly. Guess I always will... And that's ok I never want to forget him. Others will live in his name i can promise you that. Hope you have found peace. Blessings
THE BEST DAMN DOG THERE IS...
RutherfordClan German Shepherd is also a great dog
@@rapiid2812 I speak from experience as someone who's owned both a Red Heeler and two German Shepherds.
They're both excellent herding dogs, but Heelers typically have a better temperament.
I never had one always hound dogs coon hound beagle bloodhound I'm interested in one of these seem pretty smart too
@@84montecarlonazi mines a blue heeler hound mix and he's awesome. Best of both worlds
I don't know, Australian shepherds are pretty great themselves! Had an Aussie but I've never had a Healer but I've been around a lot of them! I would take either!
Such a beautiful dog. It's wonderful how she keeps looking back at you, knowing that you got her six. Hope she is doing well.
I love Blue Heelers - they have the heart of a lion.
My Australian shepherd lab mix would call our cats home. I'd ask him where is Mojo? He'd bark out into the neighborhood and Mojo would come running. He was smart and protective. But he was so kind and gentle.
My Aussie Shepherd, Mitsy, had to go check on her horses every morning but there was also something else down there I never figured out what, probably rats/mice judging by the owl's poop, but it was close to the road and she got hit. It was my dog n my dad had my 10 year old self make the call on a huge vet bill or... 44 years ago n I remember it like it was yesterday. Me, 2 brothers, horses, motorbikes, endless fly balls n grounders n we could not wear that sweet dog out!
That sounds good!
Being Australian and and having had both blue and red healers I think they are the best dogs
Me to. Mine is a little over a year and I'll never own another breed
Are you guys allowed to own guns these days?
I have a blue heeler and he is pound for pound the toughest dog I have ever seen and I've seen a lot of dogs in seventy years.
They got dingo in them we use to uses them on cattle stations for wild bulls hard biting dogs
@@gumtreessaltwater6273 I got him to help me with the cows...they are fearless. He will kill anything that moves unless I tell him not to.
They are good dogs for cattle work . Check out bull Arabs they are hunting dogs my dog that just past was a bull Arab
@@gumtreessaltwater6273 It's a myth that they were bred with dingos. DNA testing has confirmed it.
iAnarchist Not only that, but they also share many traits with Dingoes, including one that no other breed of dog is capable of like being able to rotate their head a full 180°.
She was like Hold My Beer dad, got a couple Yoty's out here I'm gonna play with them...
One of the most sensible dogs there is, loyal, full of energy, protective without having to tear to pieces. They know how to warn predators not to mess with them and will do it all day if necessary.
I like how he keeps himself between you and the coyotes, good dog
Yes, the dog is protecting his two-legger.
I love dogs.
We have 2 useless mutts; we love them a lot.
I'm convinced either of them would do anything to protect one of us.
LOL - not as effectively as a blue healer, Im thinking.
Every aussie knows never to mess with a blue heeler.....(aka Australian Cattle Dog)
Mate you've got the Australia's best farm dog right there. Owned them all my life... they're smart, tuff and relentless they just about built our country.
Along with the kelpie. Both have a bit of dingo bred into them.
No one really wants to engage here. Sure, heelers are brave and tough, but they also have a predisposition for cunning. Most of the commentary here seems to miss the main characteristic common to all dogs, including wild ones. That is, they go for the main chance, and they're very good at estimating the odds. Unless the dog is bred and trained to make it a total psycho, they will generally avoid going beyond display unless they are confident that they can attack without sustaining damage. A confident man can generally face down a single dog, but one who shows fear is almost certain to get bitten. The odds change rapidly as the number of dogs increase. But even then, it's never the one in front of you that you need to be worried about, and I think that this heeler is well aware of this.
Vitabrick Snailslime A confident man can also die facing a dog depending on which dog he face, no man take on a dog that is 150 pounds or more coming full force, too much weight too handle with the aggression
@@Moose_skins yes very true. All depending on the dog & it's disposition. When I was 4, I got a puppy. A sheperd dog, sarplaninac breed. When I was a few yrs older, I would explore & wander the hills behind my house. On one of these explorations, we encountered a pair of coyotes. I didn't even see the coyotes, but my dog did, & went charging into them. I've never seen my dog run so fast. The coyotes split, my dog kept his charge going. Bringing down the male coyote by the neck. Tearing a massive chunk of flesh out. The female was attacking my dog's backside, but he was too engrossed upon tearing up the male coyote he caught. After about a minute, the female coyote with her repeated attacks got my dog chasing after her. She played a cat & mouse game, leading my dog away from her mate. I looked at the male coyote, he was still alive, massive chunks of his neck torn open, & bleeding profusely. Coyote didn't survive. My dog was chasing the female & didn't come back after repeated calls. My dog & female coyote disappeared over the next hill. I went home to tell my father what happened & that I lost Boogie, my dog. My dad was pissed. My grandfather & I went looking for my dog. We hiked back about 15 miles, & it was well into the night, before my dog came trotting back up to us. I showed my grandfather the male coyote, it was still alive, just barely. Grandfather said it won't live thru it's injuries. Grandfather & father forbid me to ever wander the hills alone. Anyways, my dog grew into a huge dog. 142 lbs at his very last vet visit. Any large sized dog comes charging u, & the dog's disposition is not backing down, ur going to get knocked down, & torn to shreds. Doesn't matter if u were a 7 ft tall 300 lbs, heavily muscled man, u'll be torn to shreds & killed.
jacob pond I have a different view. If a dog bites an arm you only truly have 2 other limbs to fight with in order to still be in control. One of those limbs you cannot necessarily fight with because you wont be able to generate enough power for a kick that will stop the dog. And as for your other arm. All you can do is punch or hit. But if that dog is determined it will not, under any circumstance, let go. Until you are no longer in control. It is not all about brain games here. You have a small amount of fighting time before your body starts to freeze up from the pain being inflicted to whatever limb. You will become to weak to fight. And you will lose to much blood to keep going. You will feel the force of the dogs jaw ripping off your flesh with all but its bare teeth. When its done with that it'll find something else to bite onto if you are still fighting. So...thats why people are scared to fight a brave dog. Coyotes know this to.
@jacob pond You're a dumb ass Jacob.
Okay pocohontas
My first healer and I got into a fight with two drug dealers and their two pit bulls. We won. These are amazing dogs. My current aussie is a real hoot. They are so loyal to family.
My friend had a dog for 14 years that was part coyote and part blue healer ,he was found in the CA desert crossing the road by himself,he was as big as the palm of your hand at the time,he had the blue heeler head and bone structure,but the fluffy tail and beige color of the coyote.
Had a red one few years back. The most protective clever dog we've ever had. Still miss him. What a loyal companion and guard dog for my son n our family. GOD bless you Skippy RIP
Rosalind Kincannon to Skippy
Best dogs ever. I was lucky to rescue my dog Sadie, who just died at the age of 16. She was an adventurous, fearless and faithful companion. I miss her everyday.❤️
Loved my heeler so much. They have so much energy and really love to have a job to do. That dog was playing with those yotes. They had no chance.
That heeler looks confused as to why nobody is shooting them when he brings them out of the ditch. Get on with it, CODY!
PTSD is a myth, at least in USA
Killing is in their genes, if you enjoy killing, no PTSD for you, get a job
@@Wess65GR sounds like you have serious problems.
they are being shot along with the dog-with a camera.
what happened to you to make you feel so unlucky that you need to shoot and kill.
are you inbred or were you terribly abused and acting out on your impotent rage by killing whatever you can get away with killing.
@@piereb1748 It seems like you might be the one with a serious problem. There are plenty of good reasons to kill coyotes. "are you inbred or were you terribly abused and acting out on your impotent rage by killing whatever you can get away with killing." That can only be described as a pathetic question from a pathetic person.
Funny seeing such an Aussie dog in another country. They are great dogs,very smart,high energy & protective. Back in the day every builders or farmers truck had a blue or red cattle dog riding shotgun.Nobody stole your tools!
God bless Australia for breeding heelers. I love these dogs, smart, loving, and the only dogs I've ever seen that can herd cats. Mine just drops on top of them as he zooms past. The cats instantly get the idea to stay ahead of him. 😂
@@notimportant4810 There is a lot of focus on another Aussie breed the Kelpie .They emerged as a distinct breed about the same time as the heeler with some similar blood lines. Kelpies are a bit gentler ,very smart,very trainable .They will run all day ,popular in off farm applications like obedience & agility comps. The best ones bring big $ in farming circles.
@@NELCARM I've seen pictures, but I've never seen one in person. I like my heeler's rough and tumble personality, he's a real treat even if he's hard on chew toys.
@@notimportant4810 get him a couple of the square interactive firearm targets to chew. The ones that look like a + symbol on all 6 sides. My Ranger went through all his chew toys within a couple days. I had this target before I got him, and it's still going strong almost a year later.
@@CrisAnderson27 thanks Cris, I'll do that. Great name for yours, mine is Ranger also.
Never mess with an Aussie Blue Healer. Best dogs. Tough as nails and no fear.
True dat!
Go the Aussie Blue Healer!
I have 3 heelers. 2 blues and a red. Wouldn't trade them for love or money.
I can see why. What a badass breed. He/she really appeared to be enjoying this
Great Aussie breed!🐶
Our Red Heeler female was attacked a few years back by two coyotes. They caught her by her back legs, but she was able to get away from them. While the coyotes continued to chase her, she ran across a road and under a passing car without getting ran over by the wheels. She then turned back and gave chase to the coyotes. Despite having serious injury to her legs from which she recovered, she has never failed to challenge the coyotes on our farm.
would you sacrifice them in a coyote fight?
Onya,m8. Well said.
That background noise sounds like the most insane speed metal band I've ever heard. Also, blue heelers rule!
The ending of this video was outstanding
he missed. a little less outstanding
@@Gantzz321 I played it at 0.25x speed... yote just dropped so no miss there...
I’ve had heelers all my life and can read their body language. He was loving every second of this. One big game. He just needs another red or blue next to him to finish them suckers off for good like his human dad did.🇦🇺
Yeah it was having a ball. One big game alright.
Get a pair of Great Pyrenes. Tree months and there won't be a coyote alive for ten miles.
Yeah I had a good laugh, looked just like my Red when he's being a pain in the balls pestering other dogs.. Love cattle dogs, don't see myself ever having any other breed!
Still though it is the coyotes territory.
@@brizzyroz Had my border collie for eleven years. They change you.
Seems you've been here before. Bell was trying to bring them to you. She knows you'll have the last "word'. *BLINK!*
He was hiding in his tractor like a coward. He could have shot them way earlier but instead filmed his dog risking It's own well being.
Trucker Josh VLOGS That dog was working and doing what it likes to do. You are one sensitive trucker dude
Trucker Josh VLOGS I respect your feelings, but you don’t know the breed of dog and it loves this type of work.
@@Trucker_Josh Poster said in another comment thread they were waiting for rifle to be brought to them so they could get a shot: the human prob wouldn't let the heeler dance with coyotes if it wasn't smart and agile enough: the heeler was keeping them occupied and having fun doing it.
Tough bastards. As an aussie, these things terrorised us whenever we rode our bikes around the streets. Good aussie breed
You, apparently, are still alive...
@@expressivepets1 yep, was pretty fast on a pushbike
I thought those dogs were seriously standing off from each other then I realise they were only playing
@LifeRegen classic. Theyll defend their family/ yard against anything
Unless you see one of those dogs in action for a full day you can't appriciate their cardio and endurance. It is off the charts, and it looks like it just ran these coyotes until they where totally exhausted. I have seen one that was only two year old, and had never seen a cow before. He ran right at about 20 cattle pipping at the heals and in 10 minutes had all 20 or so fully rounded up! This dog followed us on mountain bikes for probably 10 miles running in circles while a springer spaniel just following the springer was exhausted 3/4 of the trip and the heeler showed no slowing down at the end of the day.
I have had the privilege to live on 40 acres bordering a small river in Northern Minnesota for the last 21 years......When I first moved to a rural setting, I was of the belief that all beings great and small deserve the chance for existence. I still feel that way. For the first 7 years or so, no predation problems. My ex and I kept a mixed flock of poultry: laying hens, meat chickens, ducks, turkeys, and geese. Then it happened: we had about 30 birds disappear in 3 days.....a fox was the culprit, and I liquidated him with two shots of #2 steels. That was the beginning. See right about then the fur market tanked overseas.....trapping became very expensive......you couldn't even cover the cost of fuel to justify putting out a line......Then we just couldn't keep livestock.....After the fox, came the coyotes....They would raise a litter of pups every year, and you could hear them every time they brought down a deer.....then the coyotes moved out, and the wolves came.....I came upon them killing a good sized, healthy whitetail buck in my backyard.....snarling, I could hear the ripping flesh....the big male leader, he charged me, and I missed....federally protected or not, all I could think about was my two boys being stalked as they walked the 1/4 mile to the school bus pickup......So....I had to leave off free ranging poultry. I just couldn't keep it around....I image that I have lost 200-300 birds from 2007 to 2015.....then I just gave up.....last year I raised 11 turkeys to butcher weight, but had to keep them completely enclosed. They weren't afforded the opportunity to free range and ate commercial pelleted feed....and tasted that way....Nature abhors a vacuum. The pack of wolves, that I mentioned earlier, made the mistake of taking out two yearling bulls from a neighboring cattle operation.....The federal trappers liquidated the whole pack. It took about a week for the coyotes to come back. And still I can't keep livestock. So, I have lost birds to coyotes, fishers, raccoons, feral & domestic cats, and dogs. The value of a good dog is priceless, and I can sure understand why that rancher took a shot...because that same pair of coyotes would smell the blood and placenta of a new born calf, and they gotta' eat......so does the rancher.....what I don't understand is why he didn't shoot them sooner?
I'm going to guess because it was an excellent opportunity to wear out his heeler and have a relaxing night after a hard days work. ;)
I'm only guessing here but maybe, it was a hands on (paws on) training session to keep his dogs skills sharp. That's why he let it go on so long.
One Great Pyrenees will take care of the Coyote problem. Two - even better.
I liked the Pheasant just sitting there watching the show.
That was a killdeer.
That dog was hiliarious. The dog is having to much fun.
@I Em Hoo I Iz doesn't mean he isn't enjoying it.
@@jamiewilson8253 lmao, I dont think dogs "enjoy" it, you're humanizing a dog when saying shit like that.

@I Em Hoo I Iz ooh,tiltttt.
Appears to be a mated pair and one was trying to defend the other from the dog, might have even had a den of pups down in that ditch. Not that it really matters now, this was posted 2 years ago. Good dog. Kind of felt bad at the end though, the one that got shot. I realize these are considered nuisance animals, and dangerous, but the coyotes around here are the only reason that the prairie dog population hasn't skyrocketed. They do serve a purpose.
Gray Wolves should be reintroduced and radio collared to naturally control their numbers.
If they did have pups, I hope it wasn't the mother that was shot.
@@restorationlandscapingkankakee Around here it wouldn't be the Grey wolves, it'd be the Red wolves--unfortunately, their numbers are very low and are often mistaken for coyotes. Pretty soon the only place we'll be able to see these animals is a zoo or a museum.
@@Arkine13 I just saw a documentary of the Red Wolf preserve in North Carolina where they paired Red Wolf couples and sterilized any Red Wolf-Coyote hybrids to build up the area to be able to repel wandering Coyotes from entering. Quite interesting.
It's true! In southern Oregon the ground squirrels overrun the hay and cattle fields and the stupid guys love to shot the coyotes...then spend wads on repairing their tractors and harvesters from the damages to the ground. Then they gave to spend a ton of time chasing tiny little rodents and shooting them. They never make a dent! We had ONE guy who was slowly teaching the numnuts that the coyotes were actually a money saver and were no threat to full grown cattle. Coyotes are not really a serious threat if you know what your doing. This looked Like a pair protecting a litter, and one of them looked really sickly..
I like shooting prairie dogs too.
My dog of 14 years went to that pound in the sky last November. I am in the process of moving and won't get another until I have a permanent residence. Maybe 2 this time. Dogs are God's s gift to man.
Bahahaha, the Aussie Blue Healer , he’ll run straight through a barb wire fence at full sprint then go back later and apologise to the fence for hurting it ! Bloody legend ! 😜
that dog moves super agile like a fox
They don't have tails, they have rudders. They'll beat your shins when they're standing on your toes. Favorite spot for a heeler, nobody gets between you and your pal.
@@notimportant4810 that dog was scared to death of those coyote.
David Simmons nope it was taking them both on and probably would’ve whooped there asses just as well as the gun he shot them with
I've met more than one Heeler called "Nip", if the cattle aren't moving fast enough for the dog (generally females, I don't know why), she'll go dart in and nip the cows on the ankle to hurry them up. Cow's will kick out but by the time they react the Heeler's well out of range.
That's what you call "running circles around them" That heeler will run them to death.
Had to put down my healer,14 yrs.broke my heart ,he was the smartest ,toughest, lovable dog I ever had..RIP Bo.
Best dog I’ve ever had was a half heeler, half Rottweiler. No fear, smart, well tempered.
R.I.P Bo
@@Speedyx485 thanks much,miss him everyday. .
Blue heeler's are known for having great stamina and always being on high alert for something suspicious going on.
The heeler is enjoying messin with them. Dog is a stud.
No, Belle is a she. :-)
I always wondered why air combat was called dogfighting and not birdfighting. It makes sense now. That pup was using tactics. Lol
The farmer got a head shot on one of the coyotes at the end.
damn coyotes multiply. I`ve heard of farmers in TN using snares and shooting them and still can`t keep their numbers down.
Joe Potato killing them increases their numbers. Healthy big alphas will defend their territory and kill younger males trying to move in. Killing them causes for younger ones to move in split up the territory. You end up with more.
Joe Potato best bet is to feed them.
Jordan Morris look it up. Same thing with the mafia and cartels
@@TitansManiac755 "damn coyotes multiply". We don't own earth, it is the other way around.
Those Coyotes seem to have a den in that ravine - they're protecting it!
Maybe, looked more like they were luring the Heeler in for an ambush. But you make a valid point.
Which if you have cattle in nearby land is too close!
Still they would be left to destroy anything on out ranch/farm they’d be euthanized.
Looks like my sweet girlie! May she rest in peace! The nicest dog ever.
same here for my boy cody, i miss him every day.
Blue heeler verus two coyotes... It appears at the end there, that Blue healers are an excellent fucking shot :0
Did Y'all Notice At The Beginning He Kept Looking Over His Shoulder " Master Wat Should I Do ".......
Looked to me like he was waiting for the ok to go ahead w chasing them away. Good dog. Didnt look for fight just kept them away from what he was supposed to. Till dog was told different
Yes sir that dog ahhh i love healers that dog kept pullin em out. I love rots to... If it was a rot you wouldnt have needed to get invloved, he would have pile drived that coyote and drug his ass back to his yard haha dogs love em all.
Love heelers! I have a 6 year old heeler, she is the sweetest, and easiest to get along with dog I've ever had...unless she doesn't know you or like you. She will protect you until her last breath. Her only vice is she's boy (dog) crazy even though she's spayed.
Many Australians are like that.

We just mean it as "see you later". Or "so long". I live in NY State now.....and yeah, I know how they mean it. Especially when referring to NY City.
I would've given it a go at :55, depending on what you're using of course. But it could've been a two for one.
We farm for a living and the coyotes do us a favor by eating mice and gophers in the fields.
Consider pests I believe like wild pigs here down sout
Hey blue dog, the eucalypts and the wattle say G'day, you're a long way from home and doing as brilliantly as all the blue dogs do.
Hope your happy there, looks like you're enjoying yourself.
Aww 🥲that was beautiful
Ohhh you wonderful Jeeves... brought a tear to my eye. Not an Aussie, a dog lover though. 💃🏼💃🏼
Our healer kept rounding up the neighborhood kids. Went outside to see what all the crying was about, ten kids tightly knit into a circle scared to move. Lol Told the story to the cops, then told the story to a rancher who scooped up "Maddie" and called to tell is what a FOKING AMAZING HERDER she was. It turned out great for everyone. May have even wised up a few brats.
Good dog
Cow Dogs are the most Loyal, Hard Working, Smart Dogs a Man Can ever Have for a Partner. Did you see him looking back waiting for the Man to take the shot after he’d worked the Coyotes? Good Dog!
This reminds me of my dog. One day I got home and two German shepherds had gotten in our backyard. I thought my dog was hurt but it was the other dogs. My dog is really tough and we thought she was just a border collie but she’s actually border collie mixed with blue heeler
An eight pound dog will defend its own core territory. Even against much larger dogs. Try taking your doggie into the shepherd's backyard once.... Canine behavior is something all dog owners should be aware of Geez!
That's why I carry a rifle in the tractor. My Heeler was the same way. They are great dogs.
Good dog! She was trying to use their own game on them, luring them back to her master.
Yep it was three dogs all playing the same game
She's got the makings of being a real good decoy dog! Good girl Bell 🔔 👏👏👏
that heeler set up those coyotes for the kill. he's a riverboat gambler!
