This is a Kelpy exactly what I had...best dog ever a little bit bigger than a heeler. As for the "Stumpies" (that's funny) I had a friend who bred/showed "heelers" and said that in order for you to qualify the dog had to have a tail, it was part of the breed... the docking was done by the ranchers/cowboys so they wouldn't pick up all the burrs and stickers when out working cattle. Now most people do it because they assume it's suppsoed to be done on that breed unless things have changed!
Chili (my heeler) loves pretty much everyone... as for Mx my Kelpy, she didn't like my brother or another friend who looekd a lot like my brother...weird deal but she hated their guts... as for my friend too bad, my bro, she was a good judge of character ...
