The typical grown size for females is about 35-40 pounds. Her mom was a really small Heeler so we're hoping she'll be on the smaller side! She's my walking buddy so hopefully that will keep her trim (& me!).
A Queensland Heeler (also called a Blue Heeler) is different than an Australian Shepherd, but in the same family I think. They are shorter haired and shorter in stature and a bit more muscular. Both are herding dogs, so they need to be kept very busy and they are incredibly smart (aka manipulative!).

I was wondering because they have similar coloring - you learn something every day!

Cute! First thing I thought was Australian Shepard too - we had one when I was growing up (we had cows too so he was actually a herder). Best dog ever. I bet yours is super smart too. Adorable.

She's WAY TOO CUTE!!! We used to have a heeler that looked just like her as a pup. And yes, she was very smart. My husband had them growing up too. They can be great dogs!
