Not my favorite breed, either, looks-wise, but this one has nice markings. I'm sure he will be a very nice looking dog. Besides, I hear their personality is good, so that's more important than looks, isn't it. And the name Bear is way better than the name Jake! :rofl: At least he didn't want to call him "Buddy" That was very generous of Greg's sister! And I'm really happy for you to have a dog again.

I like Jake too but I have a Grandson called Jake.Gb Bear is growing on me, Greg said they are a one person Dog and very loyal, but the problem is I am home most of the time and Greg is not so he will probably end up my little mate more than Gregs whether I like it or not.I have to admit that I have been shopping and bought him everything a dog needs almost even made him a bed today but he won't sleep in it yet, prefers to sleep in the open, silly puppy, so we had to get abig thick warm blanket for him to sleep on and cover the chair he is under to keep the wind off him.He is really good, Greg thinks he is sick because he is not sooking and carrying on like most puppies do on their first night at their new home.BUT he is not sick he seems to be a good puppy i think Funny I was waiting for Greg to come home from work so we could go and pick him up together but he went straight from work without me so I was really annoyed too, but Greg got his punishment for not taking me, Bear pooped in his car on the way home :rofl: that will teach him.Greg said he gaged all the way home :yuck: Hi all, Greg brought home HIS new puppy today.He is a Red Heeler, Greg wants to call him Jake but I think he looks like a Bear so I am calling him Bear.

Thank you Finnie, Yes they are Australian Cattle dogs and very Loyal.Bear is actually very cute, he is big boned his feet are huge, he is only 8 weeks old if that.Greg was going to call him, Fred... George... and some really crappy names and I said NO, we both kinda agreed on Jake but when he came home with him and bear was standing eyeing off the birds, I thought you look like a bear, so i thought that's different so now I am stuck on it.We were getting the girl dog and Greg said we will call her George and I NO but then I said I like Georgie so I was happy with that but Then his sister decied to keep the girl for herself.i think the real reason why she gave one to Greg was so she can see how he grows up and also use him for stud later on but we will see about that. Greg said he might have him fixed yet. Edited August 27, 2010 by KAZ Link to comment

Anyway he has been sleeping all night, he has settled in very well BUT he wakes with daylight and starts howling, NOT for food for us, companionship. DRIVING me nuts. This morning he started so I got up and gave him breaky and he didn't even worry about it for half an hour , he was more concern about driving me nuts. jumping etc. Anyway his name is Jake Greg won because it's his dog, I still think Bear was a good name. Greg said when he grows up he won't look like a bear. He is howling right now. Link to comment

They had one named Mickey and later they got another one named Cassie. They where very loyal to their master. One thing l remembered about them. Is that they would guard the farm very well. They would attack strangers cars and would not let the stranger's get out of their car. Not until my grandfather would holler at the dogs to lay down and stay. Yet, the dogs knew when family would come out to the farm. They would never attack our car. Link to comment

Gosh Jake is annoying though, he is wearing me out. wants to play all the time and under my feet everywhere I walk. It's only annoying because he is Greg's dog and i have to be with him all the time while Greg works, I really think I should of being allowed get the dog that I wanted, a cavalier or a maltese/shitzu seems I'm the main carer . Jake is going to be quite big soon and he is a breed I would never in a million years choose. BUT saying all that he is growing on me. But better stop waking me up in the morning, this moring he started at 5.18 because that is when Greg went to work. Be barked and carried on until I got up and turned the light out which was 5.55 and then it was nearly day light so he started again. Link to comment

Trouble or something Jake is annoying soooo much, besides him pooping all over the lawn that i seem to be picking up and jumping on me all the time. I am trying to teach him not to jump but Greg lets him so the lesson is ruined I am trying to level off the ground to frame my cementing for the birdroom and he is under my feet all the time. He just lays where the shovel is about to land, silly puppy. Gee before went to step backwards and the little sausage was there so of course I fell on my backside.aggrhh Hard too. I came inside cursing and stuff. Greg will have to tie him up when we do the cement because he will just ruin it. Greg is telling everyone he is growing on me and he is our baby but I secretly want him gone I really don't want a puppy or dog. I was really quite happy with out one, no poops, no falls (by me). etc I actually hate dogs jumping on people. okay had my winge :yuck: BUT I don't really feel much better, I WANT MY CAR BACK. that might cheer me UP. IT has been 4 and 3 days now Link to comment

Some people may think this is cruel, but it isn't like hitting the dog or anything. Here is a website to help if you want: http://dogobedienceadvice.com/how_stop_dog_jumping.php Link to comment
