yes, definitely a good looking dog. didnt the croc hunter have one?

I guess he did! I didn't remember seeing him in any of Steve's shows, but apparently he made several camio appearances.....

Thanks guys! The dog is definitely a blue heeler, a.k.a, Australian Cattle Dog, a.k.a, Queensland Heeler. We got him from the local shelter around the beginning of September. I was looking for a heeler pup to replace my 11 year old heeler I had to put down last year and he just "happened" to be available when we were walking through Petsmart looking for a new kennel....they were having the annual "bring the dogs out of the shelter day" from several of the area shelters. He's been a pain in the arse, but we are slowly breaking him / conforming him to be a civilized dog. We think he's a little over a year old. Definitely has a lot of puppy left in him.

It IS a beautiful area, Scott, and there were a few folks out riding.....definitely has inspired me to want to get some four wheelers myself

well give me a call when you do, i'll ride with any ol hog :thumbup:

A couple of years ago, when I was riding dirtbikes all the time, my buddies and I were out there just about every weekend. It is a beautiful place to ride, hike, hunt, or just drive through. You can explore the sandwashes and small canyons all day and never get bored. :thumbup:

Sounds like a couple Boise HOGS need to go for a ride :thumbup:

Hey Gregg, He’s only trying ya out fer a while.

THE Blue Heeler
(A Little Doggerel)

Well I'm down among the stubble
an' havin' bloody trouble
'coz these cattle from the scrub'll
take some catchin'. First they double

back around across the clover,
an' they nilly run me over.
It's enough to give a cove a
bloody headache - yes by jove!! A -

nother look they're through the river
an' I yell out: "Well, I nivva!!"
Bloody cattle!! They don't give a
stuff!! So flamin' bloody clivva!!

So I calls out to me Heeler:
“C'mon!! Gi' down here an' help me
or I'll tan yer bloody scalp!” He
runs on down an' gives a yelp. He

brings on back those bloody trouble
makin' cattle through the rubble
at the river on the double
(past me standin' in the stubble)

an' he wheels them bloody fizzers
like nobody's bloody business,
He's a good dog! Yes, b' Jissus!!
Cross the clover patch they whizz as

he has won that bloody battle
with those mongrel bloody cattle,
an' he turns 'em on the flat till
they're all buggered. I yells: “That'll

do, ya silly bloody ninny!!
We don't wanna run 'em skinny!”
So he slowly brings 'em in. He
yards 'em up. I has a tinny

as I sits down to recuper...ate
...says: “Don't fergit the bloody...gate!

Good dog.”
