New ACD

8 weeks old and super smart. Male, named Oliver

 

They are adorable and need lots of room and attention.
Congratulations and good luck lol

 

Cute pup, congrats.

 

Thank you guys. We picked him up from a farm in wisco. Cattle dogs running everywhere.

 

You have any questions, let me know. Good looking pup you have there.

 

How old? Working on crate training right now and potty training. Small steps

Thanks man. I overlooked the pets section.

 

Working on 10 months. Good thinking on crate. He'll program.

 

Yours is royal and elegant looking. Beautiful. We didn't want any brown. As soon as we saw him with brown we had to have him

 

Beautiful pup!! I've had a few heelers, currently have a blue heeler/st bernard mix. Super sweet, can sleep all day or hike all day, and is off leash trained. Wayyy to smart for his own good. And he's 80lbs. 4yrs old

 

He is a beast lol. he looks like, "you caught me bro, I did it." I love this breed now.

 

My brother had a blue healer/ border collie cross. Great dog but he was prone to bladder stones and infections so it ended up being kinder to put him down when he was still very young.

 

Love me some blue heelers, super smart dogs, have had two in my lifetime, Blue - male '06, Austin - female '10

 

I get that. The older I get the more soft I am to innocent animals suffering.

 

This post is awesome. They helped me with a recommendation of EKT for an ear infection in one of my Jack Russell's last year. My vet never heard of it at the the time. Now they use it quite often. Thanks again @jaredmillerdvm and @Kerch71 for an awesome thread!

I just added that thread to my home page. Thank you everybody.

 

Thank you. He's royal alright... Lol

I'm going to to follow you. Any issues like swimming, tug, food... possessiveness, ill be here.

 

Hes already herding my other dog on runs. The other dog doesn't like it but chooses to ignore it.

Our main goal is a well behaved dog that is on our adventures. Manners is going to be my biggest concern. Any advice in the realm of manners would be greatly appreciated

 

Its tough in puppyhood. Mine loved people who were let in to the point of submissive piddle... Then he'd bark if people were to close to the truck or our house. Cats are far game. Doesn't like other dogs and hates ANYTHING walking behind him. Leash training is ok but with so much stimulus he will pull forward every minute or so. Great heal, place, front etc. Teach him to leave it and drop as they eat everything.

One more thing.... Dont expect to do anything alone.... Ever.

 

Right now I'm running him everyday without a leash hoping he will be leashless but I am going to work on heal and place.

We have a bell i rigged up at the front of the door which we are using for potty training. He is getting the hang of that

 

Sounds excellent. If he fidgets and won't place or heel properly, lure him with food....
Example. Place food in hand, hold out in front, sweep right leg, loop forward, and his nose will follow. He'll figure out heal means by my left side, etc. Or use a pad.

 

Really quite excited for the intelligence aspect.

Just found out he's not scared of the vacuum. Doesn't chase it either. It just exist

 

2 books that helped me greatly and gave me the best dog ever

The art of raising a puppy

How to be your dogs best friend
By the monks of new skete I believe, check it out, its a game changer!

 

Will look into both tonight
