We're two handsome Heeler mix boys looking for active families that are ready for adventure! Like true Heelers, we're smart, playful, curious, and always looking for something fun to do. Whether it's exploring a new trail, playing with toys, wrestling with other dogs, or chasing a ball around the yard, we're happiest when we're on the move.
We're typical Heeler puppies, which means we're learning that people aren't sheep! We do have some instinct to herd and are currently working on those playful little air nips. With consistent training, plenty of exercise, and positive guidance, we're already making great progress.
Our ideal families will understand that Heeler mixes are intelligent, energetic dogs who thrive when they have both physical exercise and mental enrichment. In return, you'll get an incredibly loyal, devoted best friend who's always ready for your next adventure.
If you're looking for a fun-loving sidekick who will keep you laughing, keep you active, and be your most faithful companion, one of us might just be the perfect match!

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
