I think all dogs do that if you use perfumed shampoo. Ours did it until we changed shampoo brands. Now they just do the death roll on their bed after their bath.

yep mine slide all over our carpet trying to get rid of that "nasty" just cleaned smell. they have two favorite sleeping blankets that they roll around on as well. funny to watch them slide their face then their body around trying to get their smell back.

Oh is that what they are doing? Puggy runs around crazed and mashes her face and head into the carpet. I thought she was trying to dry her wrinkles or something but I wipe them down with a towel before I let her loose. I keep her out of my room or she does that on my bed and sheets.

She also goes nuts running around the room, in full tuck and in full pug speed and she tries to tear up the couch pillows.

Heelers are awesome, and very intelligent. You can train them to do just about anything. Thats pretty much the only dog any of my family owns except me. Red ones are gorgeous but rare.

If possible, check the parents out, sometimes they can be a little odd in the head. Some friends have one that stares at the wall all day and attacks shadows, aunt had one that would randomly attack tires (bicycles with children attached, trailer tires, truck tires, etc.) But thats not limited to heelers.

Yeeeah, there's one in my apt complex that goes apeshit at the sight of other dogs. The owners try to manage him, but he is just VERY... I dunno if you'd call it "dog aggressive" or just badly socialized. Whatever it is, I try to give them a wide berth when his owners are walking him. Lilly either doesn't interpret his signals correctly or is just being stubborn and wants to go see what the hell his problem is.

Shitty owners like that piss me off! They're always like, "Oh I wish I had a dog that behaved like yours".. And all I can think is, "I bet your dog wishes it had a better owner.."

And then there are the "Oh he never does that!" owners. Really lady? Because this is the third time your dog has lunged at mine. Your memory must match your training ability..

Well, I won't sit here and play like mine is the very model of doggy discipline.
She's very energetic and wants to go check out other dogs whenever they're around.
Well intentioned, but I can certainly see where her enthusiasm might be mistaken.
The offending blue heeler I was mentioning, however, never gave her the chance to make the wrong impression.

when we were checking out that pit yesterday we passed this huge pup who was literally doing backflips at the sight of another dog. paperwork said it was some kind of an airdale mix but it looked for all the world like a doberman with normal ears and a brindle coat. guy said he'd been there the longest

I have a blue heeler/aussie cattle dog mutt....he's a great dog....I rescued him from the Humane Society when he was maybe 4 months old? He's smart...and playful...good with people...just a great friend.

[caveman]

Right, I don't need one that is AKC certified stupid. I don't care if there is some mutt mix in there. I don't need to say, "look at my dog, I spent $1200on him and he's dumb as a board." I like the mutts more as they usually have a lot more personallity than a postage stamp like some show dogs that I have seen.
