8 month old blue heeler
I'm here looking for a good home for my blue heeler pup. My house I'd busy with kiddos and he's nipping at their ankles. He needs to be with a farmer or someone with lots of land. I didn't have as much knowledge about blue heelers when I got him as I should of. My daughters father was getting rid of him and she was highly attached to him that's the only reason I said yes! We've had him a little over a month now and the first 3 weeks he was a great dog. Then he started nipping at kiddos feet that came into our house and with the amount of kiddos that run in and out of here I can't have that here. If you'd like more info on him message me and I'll tell ya what I can about him. Thanks!
