[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1147111, member: 14661"] It depends on what you need help with. A heeler can help you push cows around all day long with no training if that's all you need but if you're looking for a second cowboy then you need to be looking at border collies or kelpies. Training wise, we would never take a two year old horse and slap a saddle on him for his first time and go do a days work and expect him to act like the teenage ranch gelding and yet we do that to dogs all the time and then blame the dog if they don't perform... You'll get what you pay for someone else to do or what you put in yourself. If you get more than that it's a dam good dog that would be better if you put the time in. For me, I don't want any more border collies. They are the best working dogs and the easiest to train but if it's over 90 degrees they literally have to quit and go swim in the water trough. On flat ground they're better but with heat and a hill climb they're done for the day. [/QUOTE]
