Where to Get A Texas Heeler

If you are a rancher, farmer, or just a generally outdoorsy and active person, a Texas Heeler is an excellent choice. Often with fascinating coats, loyal, trainable and trustworthy around children, these dogs make excellent family pets as well as workers companions. They may fare best with an experienced owner or someone that has daily work for them to do; owners looking for exercise partners are also a good match for them.

This Blue Heeler Australian Shepherd mix is not very common and you may not be able to find a breeder locally. Texas Heeler puppies for sale can be found online, however, they are not abundant so you may want to place your deposit swiftly! If you're looking to adopt or rescue, it's doubtful you will be able to find a Texas Heeler agency so focus on contacting Australian Cattle Dog or Australian Shepherd organizations (they usually have mixes).

Australian Shepherd x Blue Heeler mix puppies for sale may be scarce, however, puppies are quite inexpensive compared to many other hybrid breeds. You can often find a Texas Heeler pup for $600-$700 but the following factors will all play a role:

1. Age- puppies are only puppies for a few months; adults are cheaper by far.
2. Shipping- if the breeder isn't driving distance, count on an additional $250-$450
3. Unique Colors- merle, tri-colored, and solid (especially blue) individuals fetch more money
4. Unique Sizes
5. Bloodline- Having 2 purebred parents, especially Kennel Club Certified will affect the price as well; having show dog/champion lineage will as well.
6. Health Guarantee from the breeder
7. Genetic Testing/Certifications- eye, hip, elbow and significant hereditary disorders.
8. Vet visit, shots, microchip
9. Special Training
