That was really cool.
Do you happen to know the breed of that dog?
Reason I ask is that body, head, ears and tail wise that dog looks just like our one dog. Our dog just has some different markings on her (Black with brindle markings).
We got her at the pound so we are not sure what she really is.

Hmm...maybe not then. She has none of the markings that that breed normally has. Or she could be a mix of that breed but she looks like a canaan dog as well...
This one is not her but she looks like this one as well, except almost all black with brown brindle markings...
They are herding dogs as well and she has herding instincts in her.

I just wish I could have a dog that would just sit on command.

I've been fortunate enough to be a "casual" acquaintance of David and Barbara Hartwig for more years than I care to remember.
David is one of those guys, that when I'm questioned about what it means to be a Texan and/or Texan "values", he's on the top of my list as a shinning example.
The link that trickblue posted from "Texas Country Reporter", is well worth your time, and I encourage you to watch it with your kids.

We had a Blue Heeler on the ranch named Badger that was an honest to Pete masochist. If a cow kicked him he would be with that cow all day. The harder you pushed him away the better he liked you.davidyee;2037142 said:
I have a picture of him that I could scan. He's jumping in the air and biting a cloud of dirt that someone threw in the air. He'd bite rocks too.
One time I had to go to the South end of the ranch and I took him with me. I was driving a Toyota pickup that had a sliding back window. I opened it. Badger would stick his head in the window and watch for the mesquite bushes that we'd be passing. As one got close he'd bite it. Thorns and all. At one point he had his head sticking in that window and I hit some stutter bumps in the road. His head bounced all around that window. It cracked me up and I was laughing so hard I couldn't ask the stupid dog if he was okay. He let me know he was my licking me right up the side of my face. It was almost like he was begging me to do it again he was so excited.
By far though the strangest one had to be when I was doing some welding. I had to cut the steel first and while I would be pulling down my goggles the torch kept going out. I couldn't figure it out until about the 4th time I heard Badger yelping. I pulled the goggles off and his chest was on fire. He had been biting the torch and putting the flame out. I beat on his chest and put the fire out. The whole time I'm pounding on this dog he's licking my face and dancing.
My step dad was the foreman on the ranch and it was his dog. He was over by the shop laughing. He said that was the 4th or 5th time the dog had set himself on fire doing that. He then said to wait until I started welding. We had a big Lincoln gas welder that towed behind a truck. When I started that welder Badger laid down by the exhaust and got high as a kite. Every now and then he'd bite the muffler and you could actually hear his tongue make the sizzle sound.
Weirdest dog I have ever been around. Was an absolutely great cattle dog though.

I watched again last night with my kids and they really liked it. They wanted to know where they could see Skidboot perform. Unfortunately I had to tell them that he died last year...
Great story nonetheless...

I was at Medical City taking my grandma and 2 of her friends, to visit a sick friend from their church.
David and Skid were appearing there for a children's event, but he recognized my truck in the parking garage (I have a small pinstriped-thingy of my ranch/company logo on the doors.)
After his appearance was over, he inquired with reception to see if I or my wife's names were on their patient list.
Since it wasn't, he convinced the operator to page me as "Dr Uecker... Dr P.E. Uecker... Please call extension ___".
I finally heard the page and got David on the phone. He made his way up to my g-ma's friend's room with Skid in-tow.
I'm not sure which I laughed at more that day. Skid, David and his "aw shucks" lingo/mannerisms, or the three 70-something "blue hairs", trying to roll around on the floor of that cramped hospital room, vying for the dog's attention.
