Well a person I know has a red heeler and its not mean at all.I think it just depends on its personality. Red/Blue Heelers are often aggressive, dominant, and very bold in my experience (I've had one for seven years). Mine is never mean, though. In fact, with our family and people she knows, she is very sweet and affectionate. They are very loyal to one person, and are very protective of every person and animal in their family/pack. All of this derives from their background as working/herding dogs. If you want a pet that is extremely devoted and loves exercise/activity, they are wonderful.

Nothing
red can be the name of a dog or human my dogs name is red
Red and blue cattle dogs will herd anything {inluding you children} but in a working environment they herd cattle.As the name heeler suggests they are apt to bite the heels of cattle and can be quite hard in their delivery often drawing blood;so not recommended for use on dairy herds or stud stock.Strangely,here in Australia we only really refer to blue cattle dogs as "blue heelers" a name which has also passed on to refer to members of the police force
Any breed of dog can be good with children and other animals but they must be socialized properly socialized as a puppy. I personally wouldn't leave the dog alone with you're kids until you know for sure how he/she will react, but it also depends on you're kids.
They are known to be a red line dogs and the most term is red nose.
yes there are chocolate heelers aka Australian cattle dogs. chocolate is a double ressive gene both parents have to cary the gene to produce chocolate pups. if both parents are chocolate all pups will be chocolate. if both parents are blue or red & each has a chocolate parent one third of the pups will be chocolate. heelers have quite a lot of Kelpie in them & chocolate is common in Kelpies. heelers can also be a slate blue gray as well & the same thing applies for it is also a double recessive gene. these colors are fairly rare for most breeders do not understand the genetics & how to produce it. we have raised queensland heelers for over 40 years. we are rightwayranch you can google us & see our chocolate, slate blue, blue, red, silver & sometimes white heelers.
German Shepherd's are a lot stronger than a red heeler.
