The Australian Cattle Dog:
"They can herd your children"
He said *HERD* not hurt
Because that's what they're bred for
sweetest dogs alive
But a lot of herding dogs nip at the heels so they might but not intentionally hurt.
"sweetest dogs alive"
Unless you're a threat to their pack/herd/family.
Then you get to see how much fight a relatively small dog can bring to the table.
I love them.
Herding by biting and it's almost impossible to train instinct out of a breed
These dogs are unbelievably high strung and DO NOT belong in small apt. This dog is a working breed and belongs outside on a farm. My nephews dog was biting small children. They had to get rid of him before their own baby was born.
@@kayrogers8417That’s a shame… I don’t know why anyone would get a breed without looking into it to make sure they don’t have to “get rid” of it later…
"Herd your children" 😂💀
Most kids need herding.
Get to work doggo.
I have heard stories about how herding dogs have herded humans without them realizing it (at first). Time for bed => dog starts subtly acting in a way to get the human to do their bedtime ritual.
Personally, I'm picturing calling dinner time and the family pet starts corralling the kids to the dinner table. :-P
Not funny, you may have to get rid of the dog.
A rough collie was my babysitter when I was a toddler. He herded me around the yard. He made sure I wouldn’t go into a ditch that always had running water. He was a sweetheart.
"They may try to herd your children" 😂😂
Australian cattle dogs need to come with the VERY important note, they are WORKING dogs they NEED to run and work, if you don’t let them do that they will destroy your home
Not necessarily running or working they need metal stimulation.
Mental stimulation is right. I watched an Australian Working Dog Rescue livestream and they made this point. They spoke about a dog they adopted to a guy who lives in an apartment, but fishes for a living and takes the dog out on his boat. By the end of the day the dog's happy to come back to the little apartment and chill out.
We had one of these when I was younger. It would heard my friends, chase the neighbor kids, slam the door behind you when you left. We had no idea what we were getting into when we bought her. I miss that little monster.
@@MeadowsMiniFarm can confirm. Australian Shepard’s do love Metal. My dogs favorite band is WhiteChapel
My cattle dog was the only dog I’ve ever regretted getting
As a previous pit owner. Never had a better dog. Protected me while prego. No one was allowed near me.. nose push away to keep me safe lol. ( never aggressive) it’s how you train & love a dog.. any dog can be mean if they have a horrible owner- When my son was born., omg! Did NOT leave his side.. crib watching. Slept at corner of his bed. Followed him EVERYWHERE! Kept him safe., I’m blessed to have seen that beautiful time. My guy has passed but it was so beautiful & it will stay in my heart forever.
Omg so cute of nose pushes
My pittie would get on his back and lick my off off the bed till she got off lol he didn’t want anyone on my bed but when I’d tell him to stop he always stopped lol
My pit is the exact same. She gets a little feisty if a stranger gets too close while pregnant, but only if she notices it’s making me nervous.
I knew they’d make the cut. Pittes are the best ❤
If purchased from a reputable breeder, I agree.
The problem with pits is that sometimes that game line is bred into the pet line. That and inexperienced owners.
I'm 35 and have had dogs since I was 3-4yrs old, our pitbull was the best faminal we've ever had. Our entire family, mine and my wife's loved him so much, and everyone attended his euthanasia, parents all, siblings, niece, aunts, etc. He was our boy, human like, cuddle bug with humans, grew up with cats and dogs of all sizes. He raised his little brother tuxedo cat and sunbathed with him every day. Walked by my side, but when I wasn't there or the wife handled him he was her protector, she felt comfortable walking anywhere and everywhere with him throughout our apartments we lived at. All though his small bread brothers and sisters bullied him (he was 65lbs and they were no more than 16 lbs), he was their protector. ❤
Yes a proper raised pitties is the best
Wow, must have been the worst day of your life.
💯. I’ve had two pitties, agree 100% they are the best dogs ever. We always talk about that they are human like, the eyes, facial expressions, intelligence etc.
We had to put our boy Dennis down two months ago and it undoubtedly the worst day of our lives. We still break down frequently bc of it. To think that he was the human society’s longest resident at one point bc nobody wanted him is unfathomable.
I freaking love that the pitbull is on this list. We adopted the sweetest boy from the shelter and could not love him more than we do! He's the best. The breed gets a bad wrap and I'm so happy to see the change 💜
I’ve had 5 pits over the years and I’m not sure another breed could have taken the “abuse” out triplets put on ours. Their high pain tolerance is a huge benefit for people with kids as they don’t get hurt when a kid tugs on their ear or steps on their paws. Not that we allowed actual abuse, but kids are kids.
I hate the bad rep that pitbulls get. My mom's friend has a pitbull and she is one of the sweetest dogs I have ever met.
We had an Australian Cattle Dog/ Labrador mix. That dude was on another plain of consciousness for a dog. He was almost like a human trapped in a dogs body he was so smart. I think the natural intelligence of the Heeler and the charisma of the Lab really came out in his personality. Goes to show ya that mutts can surprise you!
What kind of Lab? Red(and yes these are a real breed of dog but most people seem to not know what they are lol) Yellow, Chocolate, or Black? Cuz they have differing levels of intelligences as far as I can tell because a friend of mine had 2 black labs and those 2 were so much smarter then my red labs I mean one of mine literally jumped out of a moving car so that's just proof mine were stupid lol the car was only going like 5MPH so he didn't get that hurt but still.
@@KenpachiZaraki001 black lab haha!
@@jameskile5113 so at least the dog was smart unlike mine who if they were a Australian Cattle Dog/Red Lab mix 😂
Give an example please
Both are super great dogs
Every doodle I've met has been insane
Not sure why he would recommend a byb mix that's all over the place in temperament. He should have just said, a shelter dog.
Fr, I work with lots of dogs and there are a handfull of doodles I have met that I genuinely like, because they're well raised and well trained.
It's the 50+ other ones that I work with who are All fucking crazy and drive me up the wall that make me dislike them as a "breed"
I have one and she is crazy, but she’s also one of the smartest most loving dogs ever. Doodles make great family pets.
I have a boy doodle lab mix... Calm as ever. Lazy unless a walk or a ball is involved. Other than that. Calm calm calm.
@@Professional_loser literally proved my point by saying she's crazy. And so many other purebred, well bred, ethically bred dogs would make good family pets. Anyone who buys a doodle is supporting backyard breeding. If you wanted a mutt so badly, you could easily just go to the shelter
As an Aussie, the Bluey is a great dog.
After 15 years, we lost our Bluey to cancer last year, and she was so calm and gentle with all our kids that we couldn't have asked for a better dog.
Miss her even to this day.
I love pitts of all types. I know someone who has one, his name is Danger, however. He is by no means dangerous. He just wants love and attention. Hes on my top 3 goodest boi's list
I used to groom a boi named danger. The sweetiest.
@@ericarosemaryparra this comment sounds soo wrong
Pits are dangerous around children.
@@norvinosorio22 not necessarily, if raised in a positive environment or put through proper rehabilitation most dogs can make amazing family pets. This includes pitbulls, I have met many some were raised in horrible conditions but their still great with other dogs and people and kids, all it takes is proper positive reinforcement
@@itztimetoanimate0186 I know it's hard to grasp the pain it bears to take it in. You shouldn't deny the statistics of each recorded toddler deaths by pitbulls. The victims shouldn't be overshadowed, you seriously must not care for those people.
Before you get a doodle mix make sure you can afford to take them to the grooming salon every couple months. Depending on the coat type and cost of living in your area it can easily be 70-100 bucks to get them groomed, and if you don't brush them every day or two they will get matted
You can also learn how to cut fur. Like... My aunt worked at a beaty salon and she was very used at cutting hair with scissors or the machine. One day she noticed we were spending too much with our Doodle mix (even tho she was a small breed, the pet shop we used to go had a nasty price) and tried to cut her fur one day. It ended up so well our doodle never went to a groomer ever again. We bathed her and our other dogs inside our house and it was easier to take care of her fur by ourselves than going to a groomer.
we have teo poodles (same fur) and we just got a dog cutting machine (bit like a razor where you can adjust the length on the front piece to your desired fur length) and just groom them ourselves. If you just do a simple cut every few weeks it takes like 15-20 mins each so it's fast and affordable. We take them to a professional groomer about once a year.
I agree! Plus they aren’t hypo allergenic
1 slight correction, not all labradoodles will be hypoallergenic (and hypoallergenic dog is a sketchy term anyway as most people truly allergic to dogs will still be allergic to hypoallergenic dogs) as you are combining 2 fur types you have 50:50 chance depending what the cross will inherit.
Yeah...as a trainer and a groomer...I cringed so hard when he said labradoodle and hypoallergenic 😬
Yes, most people are allergic to dog dander, not hair, so doodles are not hypoallergenic.
Many of them still shed too. I’ve got a goldendoodle and he sheds lightly, but his hairs are so fine and wispy that they stick to everything and can’t even be lint rolled out of your clothes.
It’s not really a sketchy term if you’re familiar with the English language “hypo” means less than usual
I mean my dad is allergic to normal dogs but was totally fine around my labradoodle
It’s not 50/50 as poodle hair is dominant but it’s not 100%. My wife is super sensitive to most allergens including dog and our poodle works great with her.
My labradoodle is the best trainined dog I've ever met and we basically just talk to him like a person, super easy. Great breed!!
I agree I got one and he's the best dog ever can't believe all these comments trashing them
I feel that English Springer Spaniels get overlooked a lot! VERY intelligent, will stick to you like Velcro, and barely shed. They are active but so are Aussie cattle dogs
I was attacked by my neighbors pit… it came across both our yards… Scariest thing that’s ever happened to me… 🤦🏽♀️😱🤦🏽♀️
She’s always making excuses for it… 🔥
My mother and step father had a German Shepard when I was a kid, step dad was a cop, and was training this German Shepard to work with him. Came within inches of getting attacked on morning as I walked into their bedroom when I woke up, thank God my mother woke up in the Nik of time... so attacks will and can happen from any breed, but overall I would say both breeds are absolutely wonderful
You sure it was a real American pitbull terrier and not just some bully mutt?
And I was attacked by a COLLIE. It's the owners responsibility not the breed itself.
Owners have to train them right and spend ACTIVE time with them. They are not happy being a dedicated house dog. Most dog owners are lazy, ignorant, and cheap...and the dog suffers for it.
@@Aceofwolves Difference is that a collie might bite and run away, maybe breaking skin and giving you a booboo. No collie has ever killed anyone.
So when a bad owners collie escapes and attacks someone at worst someone gets an ouchie. But when a bad owners pitbull escapes the neighbors children guts are spread all over the yard, and the mothers scalp is torn off afterwards before the cops shoot the thing.
Notice the difference? Why do you think FAR BETTER COUNTRIES like the Scandinavian ones banned pitbulls? Do you not think theres a reason?
As someone who works with Australian cattle dogs every day I have to say be very cautious selecting this breed especially the reds this breed needs a hell of alot of exercise and if they don't get it they can be very dangerous as they're part dingo
Can vouch. We had a red heeler when I was growing up, and we didn't properly train her. She would bite my friends feet randomly, chase anything that ran, slam the door behind you, and lost her tail trying to heard a car.
I would love to have another one of these dogs, but I just don't have the right environment for one
The exercise can be mental, though. You just don't want that big smart dog-brain getting bored, because they tend to write their own programs...
Don't buy any dog if you can't take care of them. We play find the balls, blueberry hunt, training new tricks, we have dog games for him. These guys are smart and that needs to be addressed not just physical. We take care of that with his herding ball.
Much respect for mentioning the APBT especially from a professional. I adopted an all black apbt at 8 months old from a mother of 3 who couldn’t take care of him (for free!). His temperament was not of an apbt, doesn’t show dominance, or stands his ground, in fact
I use to think man he’s way too nice and avoidant until I had to get a dna test to really find out what he was. He happened to be a purebred apbt and is the sweetest dog I’ve ever owned (I’ve owned 2 pitties before him), intelligent, submissive and just an overall gentle dog.
He’ll be turning 2 years old in August.
Am I the only one who thought the dog making herds of children sounds just slightly funny to watch so long as no one is hurt😅
As a groomer, some doodles are not fully hypoallergenic. Poodles are, however they are mixed with a breed that sheds and can as a result be non hypoallergenic. Also doodles are so popular right now, there is tons of inbreeding going on which is causing all sorts of health and behavioral problems. They are great family dogs and if you are interested in getting one, please please do your research for a reputable breeder and ask your local groomer about the correct grooming regimen you're going to need both at home and in the salon. Grooming salons are overrun right now with matted doodles that are not being brushed properly at home. They are high maintenance if you want a long, fluffy coat. Not the dog for everyone, but can be a great dog.
Yes but at the same time doodles of any kind are completely unnecessary. Why even get an ethically bred one (if that even exists?!) when you come get another breed that looks very similar eg a toy poodle or a Maltese.
@@chanellethomas6886 exactly! For any doodle type, you can get an actual poodle with the exact same look except with a predictable temperament and fur type
i was going to say the same thing. i've become a groomer amidst the doodle craze and the f1 pups are usually okay but inbreeding and whatnot is a big problem i see. a lot of people constantly come in saying they have original goldendoodles, labradoodles, or f1s and even as a new groomer and someone who owns cats i can tell at a glance that they were scammed. most of them are too proud to be told they were lied to so i've learned to keep it to myself (older groomers usually dont and occasionally i do love to see a pet parent argue about their inbred dog). most doodles i meet are super sweet but have no sense of space. out of the dozens i've met i've probably only been impressed by a handful
Topics like this need more pet groomers telling people how much care/maintenance a little/non shedding dog needs.
AKA if you're too lazy to brush the dog daily you'll need to do more visits to the groomers to keep it shortish because matting is very painful and the dog may even need to be sedated to get the matting off.
Agreed I’m a groomer as well. You can’t predict their temperament, size, health, etc. I have pictures of desheds I’ve done on doodles. Highly dont recommend
As an owner of a blue cattle dog I wouldn’t recommend them for the average person. They require hours of exercise daily and alot of space to run around. They are very full on. Beautiful dogs but a lot of work.
Yep, I'm an absolute sucker for sheepdogs, but even I am hesitant to consider getting one because up until recently, I just don't think I would be active enough to keep one happy.
This guys just picked his favorite breeds 😂.
@@eyalreiss294 Well, yeah, the things he's saying are the characteristics about the breeds that makes them breeds he really likes.
That being said, yeah, *I* personally would not recommend a sheep dog to an average person.
Also, this guy seems to work with very active breeds in general, so like, his opinion might be a bit skewed towards active dogs and the more active owners he works with, but idk for sure.
If you don't already know, get them a herding ball. Works amazing and wears them out pretty fast compared to walks, runs, and fetch. Our 1 yr old red heeler is normally ready for a break 15 min in and may go another 15.
In 2012 I adopted a brindle, 2 yrs old sweet pittie girl.She was perfect, gentle with children, with other dogs, I could go with her anywhere, anytime, restaurants, pubs, shopping, etc…, with or without leash. She had a clean communication, loved everybody, but also was a great guard dog, she was absolutely perfect. Ripley, we miss you so much, you’re the one and only :(
Definitely agree with number 3.. I have one myself. Best dog I've ever had. I've had her since 2017.
do NOT get a doodle. there isn’t a singular reputable doodle breeder out there, which means you’d be supporting someone who’s contributing to the huge amounts of dogs in shelters or in homes they aren’t suited for
Its easier to just say adopt dont shop. If you want a dog, its very likely you can find one that suits you in a shelter
^^^^
THIS
NEVER buy a doodle from a breeder they're unethical and definitely do shed and ARE NOT hypoallergenic
@@BobThePenguin. 😬 i’m personally not an “adopt don’t shop” person. i’m more of a… “adopt and shop responsibly” kind of mindset. a lot of puppy mills disguise themselves as rescues or shelters nowadays, and shelters are known to lie about certain behavior issues to adopt a dog out faster, which can lead to a lot of issues… and more.
That’s what I say 👍🏻
Tf kind of doodle breeders you got
The pitbull thing is something many people needed to hear, they are such sweet dogs
"Every pitbull is statistically going to kill 257 children, 17 adult humans and 700+ little animals and other dogs" 🤓
@@JohnDoe-jd1lj that's because you only hear about the ones who have been treated like shit, statistics don't give a shit about the good ones, that goes for anything
Except from when they snap and require a person to get reconstruction on their face, or worse, face up in the morgue
pretty sure two little babies and their mother were mayled to death by their 2 pitbulls that theyve had from birth.. they were initially bred to fight bulls in the pit. hence pit bull name
I feel same, I almost fell over when he said APBT!!! About time Pits got the recognition they deserve!
I have rescued American pit pull crossed with a Spaniel. She has so loving, friendly, adores kids and has fantastic recall. Bit over excitable at times but you easily calm her down. After a 40+ years of dog owner, I think she's the most well behaved one I have ever had.
100% agree with the pit bull. Had one a few years ago and it was the sweetest most well behaved dog I have ever owned
My older brother had a little blue nose pit when I lived with him. I worked at a feed store and brought her with everyday. She was *amazing* with people and especially kids, and we never trained her. I moved away and she continued to be an amazing influence for his kids until she passed away. In my 33 years, I have never met a more gentle or caring dog. She understood people better than people, honestly. I miss Xena. =(
I got bit by a blue nosed pit. 🥺😔
@@andreaknisley154 Yes but these people who speak sunshine and rainbows around pitbulls will not see nor acknowledge this dog was originally bred to attack. So don't waste your time. Not all pitbulls are great, some have been ferocious, some families have been fortunate to have them as loving pets. The problem is you just don't know what you're going to get.
no such thing
@@danacaro-herman3530 Pitbulls were bred to attack other dogs, not humans. In fact pits that attacked humans were culled immediately, so the breed is incredibly affectionate towards humans, as those were the only dogs that were allowed to live and breed..
@@goomba8170 Reread my statement, have a nice evening
Lost all respect with the pit bull, unsubscribed
We have a pit mix, had her since she was 8 weeks old. She’s absolutely the best dog. Trained well, smart, energetic outside, calm inside, very loving and protective.
As a pitbull owner, I will say it is the best breed I have ever owned and I’ve had everything from labs, to cattle dogs, to Dobermans, Pitbulls just have that loving instinct of protecting and pleasing their owners, I trust my pitbull with my 3 year old more than I do his teacher.
Almost every doodle I’ve met has shed like crazy and they’re wild af. And I see maybe 10+/day. Unfortunately most owners do nothing with these dogs. They’re absolute hellions at my workplace lol
Labradoodles have a great temperament, but they need a lot of exercise because they’re a cross of two hunting dogs. Lots of people get them as cute looking family pets without realizing how much exercise and mental stimulation these dogs need, which is why they act nuts-especially if they’re poorly trained.
Y E P
I'm a walker/sitter/work at a daycare and honestly there are a handful of doodles I like because they are well raised and well trained, lovely dogs.
It's the 50+ other ones I know that are crazy and drive me up the fucking wall that make me dislike them.
I agree with you. I find Labs are better not being crossed with a poodle. My Lab was unbelievably smart and sweet as candy. It was easy to train her, potty training and tricks. I've known a few Labradoodles that were hell on earth to train.
Groomers I watch warn people off Labradoodles and golden doodles because unfortunately most people don’t take proper care of their coats and it’s very high maintenance. How about just a lab or just a poodle. Standard Poodles are amazing dogs.
@@maryannkom299 that’s what I always say. They like doodles for the appearance but poodles can get cut the exact same way. And the breed is superior all around so why not lol
It’s never made sense to me
You mean the two dogs raised from puppies that mauled and killed two little girls in their own home? The dog that if you actually researched it’s history was 100% bred for fighting and baiting? (drop the nanny dog bullshit, it was never a thing) The dog that has been selectively bred to have higher aggression? The dog that’s killed more humans than the next 10 on the chart combined from 2005 to 2017? The only dog that won’t stop attacking no matter what you hit it with or do to it? Yeah great recommendation. A chihuahua can surely bite but a little scratch on the hand is different than the little boy who was recently scalped. Can there be pit bulls that last their whole lives without an incident, sure. But from what research tells us and from peoples testimonies these dogs 100% have something that others don’t that results in them snapping and murdering their owners, other people, little children, and thousands of animals every year. It is strongly recommended that epileptics don’t get Pits due to their tendency to attack people during seizures. This is a poor and dangerous recommendation. Check your local shelters 90% pits and most can’t be around kids.
Those were American xl bullies
@@jamesmurray3253 lmfaoooo it’s the same breed umbrella bud. All of those breeds were bred for the purpose of animal baiting and fighting. Also please link source for the Tennessee killings because every source documents the dogs as Pitbull.
It's like these people think Scandinavia and other far safer countries banned pitbulls for no reason at all, as if they don't know wtf they're doing and just made them illegal based on a reputation in America.
It is distrubing to see someone people see as trustworthy be so irresponsible just to pander to pitbull fans. The statistics are clear. Countires with far higher average IQs have done the research.
Why can't americans let goof a breed meant to fight bulls until they die? Out of all the breeds in the world why is that one people cling to?
You can have ancient hunters, century proven trackers, or timeless herders, but americans want a breed whos legacy is killing rats in a pit after bull fighting became illegal... Regardless of how many children they kill every year.

I currently have 2 rescue dogs. One is what is commonly referred to as a red nose pit bull. I've had dogs all my life I 'm 66 years old now . Sophia is the name of my pitbull. She is by far hands down the greatest dog I've ever had.❤❤❤
I love Pitties. They are amazing dogs. Intelligent, cuddly and lots of fun.
I had a cattle dog and he would climb trees and hunt everything even though we trained him to herd. He was the best dog I ever had though and I miss Max a lot
I named my cattledog max aswell
@@vivid5074 Max Aswell nice name...
Pug
I used to work for an allergy doctor and one day a patient told him his dog was hypoallergenic. Doc had finally had enough of people saying this about their dogs and told the guy "two of the allergens from dogs are in their mouths so unless your dog has no mouth then it is not hypoallergenic." The guy looked stunned and I had to leave the room to keep from laughing. Breeders need to stop saying their dog is hypoallergenic because it's not true. Some dogs have less allergens than others but none are hypoallergenic.
Its about shedding most of the time but yea
Well hypo just means less than normal. So if the dogs have less than the normal amount of allergens, then I guess they are hypoallergenic. 🤷🏾♀️
We adopted our American Pittie mix about two months ago and have put a ton of time and energy into training him. We were at a dog park the other day, and another owner who I've gotten to know saw Miles off leash and said, "He doesn't act like a pit." Breaking the stereotypes👊 one training win at a time. Pits do have a LOT of energy, but if you're committed to giving them the training and exercise they deserve, they will be the BEST dogs!!
My pit was by far the best dog I have ever been around. Extremely friendly and good with people!
They can be amazing when they are raised right. People cross the street when we are walking, but anyone that greets him gets SO MUCH love from him. Little social butterfly
Listen here bub.. I've been following you for a little while now. I agree with absolutely everything you have suggested to help owners. Your style, training methods etc in my opinion are spot on. I wish I could spend time around you soaking up all the information I could.I respect you because you say what needs to be said, you don't sugar coat things & aren't easily offended. But after this video & you suggesting the APBT WE JUST BECAME BEST FRIENDS!!🤣😄
YES!!!
Yes indeed 😆👏
Why is Pitbull a better suited dog around your kids than let's say a Cane Corso? I get that there are a ton of absolutely calm pitbulls that are great around children, but then a similar case can be made for a Cane Corso as well. It's just absurd that Pitbull makes this list.
Cane corsos are bigger so they were not included in this video.
Pitbulls are people pleasers super easy to train. Super food and cuddle motivated
I think it's the corsos guarding instinct that makes it more difficult than the pit. I've never heard anything bad about corsos with children, just corsos with visitors. Meanwhile, most pitbulls I've ever met were pretty laid back.
I have a blue heeler and she is unlike any dog I have ever been around. She was potty trained in a week and by the time she was 6 months old I had already taught her 7 different tricks (she now knows 14 and we are working on dancing). I had no experience training dogs tricks prior to her and literally TH-camd everything. But she is also very sensitive to emotion so the only way to go with her personally was positive reinforcement training because she in no way shape or form wants to do anything that will make me upset and only wants to please, she is also very tapped into my emotions at all times and is the service dog I never knew I needed. Basically my review of the heeler is they are the best dog breed ever and I won’t own anything but a cattle dog ever again.
My pittie was amazing with dogs, kids, literally everyone. She got bit by another dog so she doesn't take kindly to other dogs without A LOT of work. But she has changed a few people's opinions about the breed because of her incredible demeanor and temperament. 10/10 best dogs
I used to have an Australian cattle dog as a kid and she was the nicest dog I have ever met me and my dad never really had to train her she was a very nice and protective dog by default
I definitely would not recommend Australian Cattle Dog Aka a heeler unless you are experienced because they have incredible amounts of energy and are notorious for biting because of their working drive. There are an insane amount of heeler and heeler mixes in shelters because people buy them expecting a great apartment dog or low energy family dog and they end up not being. They are bred to run around a farm or ranch all day which means they never stop going and can't just be locked into a kennel. They are also very protective of their person and can be aggressive to people they think are a threat. Also herding can not be trained out of them you can find individual dogs with less of a herding instinct but the only way you'll be able to keep their herding in check is giving them a job. THEY ARE A WORKING BREED.
Absolutely agree with you about ACD's. They are way beyond the average family. They are amazing but love to use their teeth, on you, your kids, friends, neighbors, other pets, etc. I always say the Best thing about an ACD is they are so smart. And the Worst thing about them is they are so smart. They need jobs and they usually bond to one person. Most are not family dogs because of their focus on their person. They are often very wary of strangers, they jump a lot. I agree that there are way too many heelers in shelters because people don't understand them, they are not for everyone and certainly not people new to dogs!!!
My pittie is literally a child. Soo sweet ❤
I’m so happy you pitbulls in here. I have one that was a rescue. He is the sweetest and loyal dog ever.
And then you don't train your Pitbull right and it's like giving a chimpanzee a loaded AK-47.
Pitbull owners are fully aware of the responsobilitys these dogs come with, in fact, last pitbull attack happend in 1909
@@Lsssssl hope you don't believe that.
@@Lsssssl I recently cleared out an eviction with a dozen plus pits dead in the back yard. Learn how to generalize properly, at least.
Tell that to the lab who chased my dog into MOVING traffic. Tell that to the COLLIE that mauled my leg and caused PERMEANT nerve damage.

Shitbulls shouldn't be allowed to have litter.

Thank you including pitties, our Ava is 13 and she has been a part of our family since day one. She protects us, the house, and more importantly my grand kids, and absolutely loves to cuddle and relax next to you on the couch afterwards. Train them young, teach them, set boundaries then you’ll have a gem of a pet.
Totally agree with Pitbulls. I have a rescue Pitty. She's a sweetheart. I got her when she was under a year. She loves her family.
Glad you included the pit. My dad had one when he was young, in 1920’s. So they never had a bad rap with me.
💪🏿 💪🏿
Wow, that's cool to hear about! Do you know more about it?
I have an American Staffordshire (that everyone calls a pitbull because of that stupid umbrella term nonsense) and he is the most amazing family pet literally gets bullied by our two cats who came into the home well after he was here
I also have an American pit bull and we got him when our golden retriever died of a disease,so we went to the pound to look for a dog and there he was his name is Tank he was one week away from being euthanized and they labeled him as aggressive but my dad wanted to see him so they took him into the outside section and as soon as they let him out my dad noticed that what they called aggression was just him being playful that day when we picked him up he was underweight and now he’s our lovable chunky dog
@@richtenamore1364ikr, I have a Staffordshire as well, and my Chihuahua has him trained better than I do. She makes any noise at all and he hides behind me
As a pitbull owner, this makes me happy
Very true Pitbulls have a terrible rap because there’s terrible people out there. The only reason that they’re talked about Pitbulls worse than other breeds is when they go bad they are strong dogs, so they do quite a bit of damage. There are so many small breeds and so many other breeds that bite more kids and adults, but because they are smaller or less intense of a bite, people tend to brush it off.
@A Vega so so true
I smiled hearing this too!
@@avega197 look up how many people pits have killed. No other breed has done the damage they have.
@@ginagianelli1385 when they to put Pitbull on the pepper work don’t not mean it’s a American pitbull terrier just because it has pictures of a pitbull doesn’t mean it’s an American pitbull terrier, but society where the word put it down as a pitbull’s one type of dog and that is very incorrect. Do your research before you get a dog.
Pittbulls are an absolute amazing breed. So loving, loyal and smart! ❤
Yeah I agree, as long as you don't have any toddlers around LOL
Very key to get a pit young and train it properly. With love and respect at the forefront. Being heavy handed or failing to show pits the respect their capabilities deserve can end tragically.
I’ve found positive reinforcement works best for them, focusing more on what they do right and not being too hard when they make mistakes has given me positive results. Following those guidelines, I was able to mold my pit into exactly how I wanted him to be. MY DOG. Not their neighborhoods dog, not friends and family’s buddy, MY DOG who will put his life on the line to protect us. When I got him at 8 weeks, he had already been abused and was scared around the snout from being zip tied shut. I saved him, and he’s repaid the favor more than once. I’ve never had a better dog, and probably will never have another one like him.
They sweet until their not, people never learn from other people mistake just to satisfy their ego.
I was deathly afraid of dogs growing up and had to raise an American bull terrier from the age of 6wks old. My dad has found him in a parking lot and didn't want to lose him. My biggest obstacle was getting him socialized and when he would have the zoomies. He's the best dog ever. All comes down to training, setting reasonable behavioral expectations and lots of socialization.
Yep also accepting that some INDIVIDUAL dogs (again not breed) will just not like other people or animals. My dog hates cats. No matter how much socialization she will never like them. Making her go near them is only dangerous for us so if I see a cat I avoid it.
Same for small dogs and people. Small dogs In general tend to be a 1 person dog.
Forcing a dog into a situation they are not able to tolorate is a horrible idea. Dogs are individuals just like people. Some people are social, some are not. Some people tolorate being in a crowd. Some do not.
You need to not only know what your dog tolerates but RESPECT that and control your dog accordingly.
The idea that all dogs of one breed are overly nice or overly mean is simply an excuse to avoid putting in the WORK to train your dog PROPERLY.
When we rescued our pitbull she was already 3 years old, she's about 7 now. Chubby girl and sweet as can be, the rescue found her in a crate in a dog dump site they frequent. She'd been used for pups at least a few times. Dumb as rocks but the greatest snuggliest family pet we've ever had.
I absolutely love my pit mix. She's a mega mutt but definitely has pit and retriever in her. She's super protective and the sweetest dog around children. I hope to get her professionally trained to someday be a therapy dog.
You are dead on about the APBT. I have two that are the best farm dogs I've ever owned. Calm, loyal, quiet, friendly and intelligent are just a few of their attributes.
Whats the bloodline
@@Lsssssl razors edge, fire lines for my male. Off da rip,Norrods and got your six for my female,
@@tomwinslow5086 razor edge is an American bully bloodline
@@Lsssssl that is correct, I had him tested by embark. He is 55 percent APBT, Also has Staffy and American Bulldog. My Female is Full Blooded APBT. I think they found a little springer spaniel in her . Less than 1 percent. She is UKC registered. They are both great dogs. My male resembles a classic APBT just a bit taller. Not at all like a bully. He is dual registered ADBA,and ABBA
Pits that are raised correctly (or even rescued and rehabilitated) are such sweet babies, you can just pick them up and carry them around and most of them will just happily let it happen. Glad they’re on the list, probably one of the best breeds in the world.
Exactly they are the true best in my opinion since they go through so much and still have a lot of love and cuteness to give even after a very bad start to life
@@jennalopez9772 exactly.
Show even the most abused pit love and you’ll get it back tenfold.
You love a pit and raise it well and it’ll protect you with its life while still being sweet to those it knows are good people.
Please watch documentaries how these rescued and or rehabilitated pitbulls killed people! Animal shelters dont tell foster families about the behavioral problems of these dogs and the offenses these dogs made before
That's what every pitbull owner say before it mauls their neighbors cat
@@FoxgroveP So many dog breeds will maul cats
I'm glad the pit bull made this list!!! They are AMAZING family dogs ❤❤❤
As an APBT dad, she is a great dog. Will be 11 in August and has always been great with my kids and my friends kids who have health issues and was always friendly with them
I'm falling in love with pitties. Such love bugs.
Yes they are! I'm a cuddle bug myself and my Pitsky lives to cuddle.
Especially when princess is near an unattended chewy toddler ❤️
Until you realize 86% of all dog attacks are done by pits.
I've never had a bad experience with a pitty. Amazing dogs.
Just as a reminder, these are mid sized dogs he recommends for, Experienced dog trainers.
Pits get a bad wrap because they were created in the UK for their breeds natural success in blood sports and even a well intentioned owner can make fatal mistakes. (Like that women who got her face eaten, who did all those interviews)
The stats don’t lie, only get a pit if you’re ready to be an informed responsible owner and trainer who takes a critical look at their dogs needs and behavior.
I can’t count the number of times bad owners say their dog is friendly, next thing you know a 90lbs woman is trying to pry your beagle out of the mouth of a 120lbs dog named “sprinkles”. Who apparently until this day never showed any sign of aggression. Or whatever the owner says.
Thank you for crediting the pittie!!! I have 2 and they are the best buddies anyone could ask for
PIT BULLS ARE AMAZING PETS. I had the absolute best pit bull Lola, may she rest in peace 🕊️
The importance of training cannot be overstated with pits. A lot of their nasty reputation comes from regularly being bought by people who deliberately train them to be aggressive or even vicious, but they are still fighting dogs, and very large, powerful ones at that. Train them right, they're sweethearts, train them wrong and they're a serious issue.
Pitbulls are naturally animal aggressive. You can give them all the love you want and they are still going to be animal aggressive
I absolutely love my pittie. She is more docile than my greyhound or dachshund. While they’re acting a fool she just sits there quietly.
I love this, because my pit Bull is the sweetest “lap dog”. She loves to cuddle, and only barks when she can sense something is off. Definitely my fav rescue doggo to date ❤
I got an an aussie on my 2nd or 3rd birthday, best dog ever. Had 3 legs because he tried to fight a van, that never stopped him from herding cattle and fighting coyotes to his hearts content. He used to herd me back to the front door when I'd go explore our property as a kid.
My dog is an Australian cattle dog and he really is the smartest and best dog I've ever gotten to train.
blue healers are the bravest dogs and so intelligent its crazy but they are a handful and mostly attach to 1 person
Have 2 heelers best dogs I've ever had.
My late Heeler was the best dog I've ever had. Obedient, observant, and remarkably patient when I was boring.
I'm glad he put the pits on here. They are really good dogs and easy to train
I’ve seen this in action.
Friend had one and there were kids in the living room.
Doggo gently walked up to each kid, kid moved away. Doggo kept doing this until all kids were sitting on couch.
Kids never stopped watching Blues Clues and had no idea they were hearded onto the couch and the doggo was so proud and happy.
Honest question. Why train that out of the dog?
Don't forget about the whippet. It is an amazing mid size dog
Glad to see the pit bill on the list, unfairly branded because of some asswipe owners , incredible breed !!
Our APBT was the best dog ever. Raised correctly they are fabulous dogs and so friendly ❤❤❤
I had an American Pitbull for 15 years and 2 months! He was the best dog I’ve ever had! They are super energetic, when my neighbors chickens would come over he’d end them sadly, raccoons, possums and birds were toys to him! But being only 46 lbs in his prime he kept me fit! Super eager to please! Amazing ona en off leash, best hiking buddy ever, after the gym he was always down for a 3-4 mile walk/jog, on a bicycle he’d keep up, he loved all other dogs and humans he meet (unless dogs were dominant) but he grew up with a chihuahua mix I had to put down when he was 7 so he tolerated and would let little dogs jump all over him! Amazing dogs! Just never put them in a situation to fail! I miss my Gordo so much.
6 months I had to put him down and I’m still not used to getting home and not hearing his excited footsteps when he heard my truck get home 😔
I have never had a dog more attune to my emotions then a Pit. Best dogs in the world by far.
Massive misinformation pitbulls are deadly and banned in some countries, stats don’t lie
I've had a German Sheppard and a pit in my pack, and both were the best dogs ever. Those are the 2 breeds I would always rescue over and over.
best dogs that kill the most ppl
@Matt Guxxxtt That's true of any large breed that is poorly taken care of.
@@MastermindElizabeth ???
Australian Cattle Dog is the breed I fell in love with. Of course just by reading on them and knowing a couple of people that own them. Right now we have two Poms, one that I gift my wife when we were dating and another we added shortly after we got married. Man they are energetic and wild 😂 A bit hard to train. But we are getting there. I'm starting to use your videos to train them better. Maybe in the future we can add another family member to the mix .
I've got a white cattle dog with spots she is such a sweetheart but has some fear problems.
She isn't perfect but I'm able to have her off leash most of the time.
Knew a dude who had a pitbull. Sweetest thing and was happy to know her. Sweet, playful and genle. Sure she was a strong doggo, and her teef were as if her mom was doing an alligator, but once you got to know her, it she was so nice.
Owned an Australian Cattle dog, smartest ,most loyal, most trainable dog, I ever had. Cannot recommend them more highly.
I know someone who has a pit bull terrier service dog, he’s the sweetest guy, and he was already an adult when the service trainer people took him from a shelter
pitbulls are easily trained ESP with food!! lol I taught my pit mix to dance just with hot dog lol
Any dog can be a service dog. It depends on the person's needs. For example small dogs make great diabetic alert dogs as they can be carried close to the chest and therefore closer to the mouth...able to smell sugar changes in breath.
My parents were recommended poodle mixes so much that they just got poodles. Haha
Poodles are WAY better than doodles, hands down.
I currently have four purebred dogs ; Working line GSD, Golden retriever male and female and the Russian Toy Terrier but, the best dog that I have ever had was my Pit Bull Terrier, Maya. The dog took care of my children and never bit anyone. We love and miss her.
I had a pit bull that grew up with my kids. He was such a great dog and put up with my son when he was a toddler. He was never agressive towards anyone or any other animals.
The standard poodle is great on its own. They are loving, goofy and smart !!
@vmmurphy. I thought for sure he'd say standard poodle ♥️
Poodles are WAY better than doodles, hands down.
Though I might not recommend them for inexperienced owners unless they really understand what they're getting into.
Nope they are mean
This video is funny to me because we currently have one family dog and it is a American terrier Pitbull and Australian cattle dog mix. She is very smart. And trains pretty fast. But yes she did have problems trying to herd the children. She is better with that now
We have a Border Collie x Poodle and that herding instinct is strong. We are training it out of him, but it shows up once in a while. At least now it's gentle with no nipping. He just wants everyone to be together. He still herds the dogs at the dog park and it is impressive to watch: all the dogs in a group, going the same direction, Dingus in the back, cheering them on and keeping them in formation.
My childhood dog was a well-trained American Staffordshire Terrier and he was the best dog, I've ever had. What amazing dogs, they're so completely loyal.
Thanks for mentioning the pitbull terrier. They have a bad rep because of how muscular they are, but with the right training are the sweetest and most loyal dogs Ive ever seen.
Can I train a cattle dog to herd people I don't like? 😂😂 Just go the park and let them move all of the people away from my area
You can train a heeler to do damn near anything.
Pit bulls are such amazing souls. No dog will ever love you and your family more and they have a great protective instinct that will help you sleep safe and sound at night. Best dogs ever
I absolutely loved loved loved my 100 pound pit, Boss❤❤❤ He was a great family dog and was not animal or human aggressive. One day I let him out in the backyard to potty & a male chihuahua had dug his way into our backyard without our knowledge. When I went to let Boss back inside he was standing there with his new bestie, an 8 pound chihuahua! We were so lucky to have such great dogs! Boss passed a year ago at age 14 and our little chihuahua, Jessy, is 17yrs old & still kicking ❤
Cattle dogs are pretty cool. I had a buddy back in the day that had one that used to go rock climbing with us. If we could free climb it, so could that dog. Super fun to watch him scale cliffs, way more agile and sure footed than you'd think.
APBT are some of the sweetest dogs ever. Great family dogs. Great around other animals. Just gotta train them young and expose them to a lot while they are puppies.
Doesn't matter how you raise it. A terrier that's purebred is going to have a Prey drive.
Sorry gotta disagree with the pits they are a dog for someone who knows what they are doing in my opinion most people that have this dog have no idea what they are doing and fuck up what could potentially be a good family dog
I don't think he necessarily means for a first time owner, but yeah, unfortunately you're right. A lot of people get a pit bull and have no idea what they're doing. They end up ruining what could be a great dog.
As a person who works in animal healthcare and welfare, I DO NOT recommend any doodle mixed breeds. They are the dogs who are most in the ER for genetic related illnesses as they have been irresponsibly bred since their inception. Many unfortunately suffer from neurological issues and I have seen several euthanized as a result of this causing an unpredictable disposition.
One thing that seems to always be left out. Rescue dogs. We adopted one in 2007. He grew to be about 100lbs. He appeared to be a mix of Shepard, St.Bernard and others. He passed away in 2021. He was wonderful with children and almost everyone else. He had no fear and was a great guardian. When he was charged aggressively by large dogs he stood his ground and gave them a look. Without him even growling they put on the brakes and slunk away. He also sensed if someone was suspicious. He gave them his look and they would quickly leave. He was the best. So I wouldn't overlook a dog because it's not a purebred. You have probably seen more then your share of problem papered dogs. We socialized him as a puppy in a puppy obedience class at the adoption place.
