Belle is one of our five dogs.  She is a "Smithfield" blue cattle dog.  They call them "Blue Heelers" because they are wonderful cattle dogs and nip at the feet of the poor cows.  They were originally bred from a Belgian shepherd, a Kelpie dog and.....a Dingo, Australia's wild native dog.  They have a reputation for  being tough, loyal, hard working, intelligent and strong.  Belle is all those things and more.  She's adorable, loving, gentle with us, playful and a good guard dog.  NO-ONE comes into our property when they see Belle and her brother Butch.

Pretty dogs! We used to have an Australian Shepher/Queensland Heeler mix that looked a little like Belle. We have a lab/Great Pyrenees puppy now & I think he'll be a great dog for us if we can get him to quit using the children as chew toys. Ack!
It looks like you're new to HSB- welcome! :)
Love, Alyssa
