My interest >is sparked, but too late to ask the owner. You may have seen a Blue Heeler. I have a ten year old Heeler, and I believe there are other varieties than the Blue. They appear from time to time in the Seattle Times/P.I. Classifies for ~$200-300. As far as I'm concerned, I wouldn't think about owning another dog. They're certainly the smartest I've ever owned, and they're very friendly. Most are born fetchers, retrievers. Unlike the Cocker Spaniel I owned, who never learned in all of her 12 years... They need lots of space though, because the like to run. -- Gregory Sumner :: gregs@polari.online.com :: Go Dawgs! Seattle, Wa :: 5-0
