I have not owned a "blue heeler", but know a few people back in Colorado who have. They're certainly great at herding cattle, but I don't think I would want one for a family pet.
A friend of mine had one and it became very aggressive. The family was gone for the house for several hours, and when they returned neither my friend or his father could get near the dog. Only his mother could approach the dog, and it took several days before the men could handle the dog. They assumed that somebody came to the house while they were gone and teased the dog somehow.

I absent-mindedly reached down to pet him with my gloved hand and he bit it hard, biting through the leather glove and breaking the skin.
I realize one can't judge a breed based on experience with a single dog, but this has made me very leery of this breed.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
