Pit Heeler Breed Details
The Blue Heeler-Pit Bull mix, as a crossbreed, is not an official member of any breed group. Neither does any info exist about these hybrids' specific origin; while an Australian Cattle Dog-Pit Bull mix may have existed naturally for a long time, no breeder or breed club has claimed its creation. The Pit Bull-Blue Heeler mix likely gained popularity during the designer dog "explosion" in North America in the late 20th century. These energetic, intelligent, athletic dogs are good in either a working capacity or as pets for active families, but they're best suited for life in homes with lots of space.
A few Pit Heeler facts: they're medium-sized, averaging 18 inches at the shoulders in height and 50 pounds in weight; they have short, smooth coats that may or may not shed seasonally; and they're very energetic and will need a lot of exercise.
