Now that I don't doubt... hahaa
RANGO.jpgmy 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.

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
