@ Winnie what happened to your other dog kelpie collie
Yeah, we have a training method for him now which seems to be working... time will tell.
And no we are not bopping him on the nose whenever he bares teeth!
Now that I don't doubt... hahaa
Attachment 53939my bestest mate Rango. he's a Smithy . runs around all the time until he overheats then he jumps in the lake or the pool or both. if I take the dirt bike out he will try to follow me for the first 3 km at 60kph !! then he backs off to 20kph and keeps going. He loves chasing roos, he doesn't bite them just chases them. He is truly the toughest dog I have ever owned.
The other dog is a kelpie x border collie gone very wrong. I am sure she knows where the magic mushies are down the back of the property cos she is always in her own little world in slow motion. She loves Rango though and they make a good pair strangely enough.

Is a Smithy like a Roan
Mate had a Roan that went hard all day long
never heard of a Roan? the farmer where we got him down at Kyogle said they were stumpy tail smithfields.
Rango sometimes he astounds me, I drove down the driveway once in the troll and every time I come home the two of them play wrestle, ( don't know why but they do) and one time Xena the kelpie x ran into Rango while I was coming down the drive, his back leg went under the 33 inch Muddy , he laid there crying, I had a look and felt the leg bones - no breaks. 10mins later he was chasing a ball as if nothing had happened. Once I pulled a paralysis tick of him it was the size of a 5 cent piece. I think in fact it was ready to drop off. all that happened was he was a bit slower for the rest of the week. next week back into it. He runs through barbwire fences at full clip- don't know how his nuts are still attached.
A Roan to me looks like Blue heelerish smaller but a different breed. bloody hardy as all get out.
My mates would swim across the Murray to fetch a tennis ball time after time we got tired looking
The Roan would not give up
sounds like him alright, but he is actually quite a bit taller than a blue healer, my mates bluey takes him up to the shoulder. and there is another bluey nearby , also quite a bit shorter. he must have some of this Roan in him. I will google it.
My mates was a stocky heelers the pics I've googled look heeler /kelpie with the heeler colours.
Two of my mates have them because of the size mainly compact and fearless
Ohhhhh Ohhh ohhhhh Brad and I finally made the commitment to add a family member !!

These are our two Beagles; Harvey and Lulu. Both came from AQIS, Harvey failed (good looking dog but dumb as a box of hammers) and Lulu just decided she did not want to work anymore.
Like some here, I wasn't allowed pets growing up so it's only been since an adult that I've had them.
In some kind of order:
When they were a lot younger - our son is now 23 so this would have been about seven years ago or so:

This is Lulu. Unfortunately, she has passed away now - died of an autoimmune disease:

Harvey getting a bit older:

Probably my all time favorite shot of Harvey:

Mose recently a snap with the iPhone. He's getting on a bit now. His muzzle is no longer tan (that's his sprung bad look):
