Best Answer

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.

Australian cattle dogs (blue heelers, red heelers and Queensland heelers) can be wonderful with children. However, they will always try to dominate the "pack", and the children must be involved in the training process, so the dog knows its position in the "pack". If allowed to go unchecked, a cattle dog's natural tendency is dominate others with aggression.

What is the difference between a blue heeler and red heeler?

Australian Cattle Dogs and Blue Heelers are the same thing. 'Australian Cattle Dog' is it's official name, but we (In Australia) often call them blue or red heelers for the colour of their coat and their ability to 'heel' cattle. There are however 2 breeds of Bluey (we shorten everything in Aus, it's got a nickname for the nickname). One is the Australian Cattle Dog and the other is the Australian Stumpy-Tailed Cattle Dog. They look pretty much the same, except for the obvious; one has a short tail.
