Named for their state of origin, the Texas heeler is a cross between the Australian cattle dog and Australian shepherd. This medium-sized mix breed was bred to herd cattle and is both high-energy and highly intelligent, which makes her a joy to train—just so long as you can keep up with her
She doesnt just like having a job to do—she needs one and will be happiest in a home with an experienced owner whos prepared to plan daily activities to keep her busy. Early, consistent training along with daily activities will allow her to channel her energy in appropriate ways so shes comfortable curling up with you after wearing herself out.
