There are a few blue heelers around here and they seem pretty well behaved but they are up in years. I really think they are fine rustic dogs. I had a standard poodle when I was in high school. A fine dog with a very laid back behavior. Very bright but also addicted to any snack food that the family would feed her. Other than the truffle hunt idea I wouldn't know what to do with a standard today unless I lived in an apartment. Maybe if you crossed a standard poodle with a malinois you'd get a fine all around doggie. Shootie

Thoughts on a couple of things you mentioned on your last two posts. Ice balls on paws: Use a clipper to remove hair / fur between pads. Lightly cover pads and in between pads with Vaseline. Doesn’t last but is good for an hour in sticky snow. Ticks ... Not a perfect solution but a pretty good one: Mix 10% T-Tree oil with 90% water in a spray bottle. Lightly spray dog before walk. DON’T get close to eyes, nose or mouth. I usually just spray some on my hands when covering the dog’s head..
