We raise both Heeler and Mini/Toy Aussies. Currently all of our Aussies are registered with NAPR and we are working on getting our Heelers registered. Our puppies as well as our dogs get introduced to children and all kinds of animals since we live on a farm. The Heelers are out of working parents however we have never worked ours got them more as companion animals than working ones. Our female aussie (Angel) has helped gather up goats before to put them back in their pen.
