Winnie & April

Light work 😮‍💨 Winnie’s appetite for running is simply insatiable 😍 this was the perfect way to end her 5th birthday! #australiancattledog #heeler #redheeler #cattledog #redcattledog #fastdog #dogrunning #dogsoftiktok

Does your dog sleep on your pillows too? 🥺 I always thought Winnie just liked the head support, but since learning this, I’ve realised she always specifically seeks out the pillow on my side of the bed 😭 having this realisation honestly altered my brain chemistry 🫶 What a privilege it is to be your dog’s favourite person 💗 #dogsoftiktok #australiancattledog #redheeler #dog #dogfacts #doglovers #cutedog

Tink 🕊️ I never would have never imagined I’d be writing this today. This morning, I shared on our Instagram stories that we woke up to find our sweet girl Tink with an abnormally high respiratory rate. When we got to the vet, they found her temperature was dangerously high. Despite their best efforts to bring it down, she wasn’t responding. Her bloodwork came back normal, but her body wouldn’t stabilise. Her heart stopped beating on the table, and there was nothing more they could do. The vets have no clear answers, which makes this even harder to process. There were no signs of a clear infection or poisoning, and she was in perfect health the day before. The sudden onset and how quickly it progressed have us wondering if it was something hidden — a genetic condition that remained silent until now. But we’ll likely never know. Tink was our best working dog on the farm and the kindest soul you could ever meet. I’m so grateful I got to spend these last few days with her. It’s hard to believe she’s really gone. Her last full day was spent doing everything she loved — working cattle with her team, swimming, running, and living life to the fullest. We laid her to rest this morning next to Kip, who was also taken from us far too soon, also our best working dog at the time — almost a year ago to the day. All we ever want is for our dogs to grow old. Even though Tink’s time was cut short, I know she had a full and beautiful life in this paradise she got to call home. She sure did fit a lot into her three short years ❤️ Run free, sweet girl. You’ll always be with us 🤍🌈

A daily occurrence 😂 There are two main things people mention when they say Winnie isn’t a real heeler—her build and her coat! Many years ago, Winnie had a more classic, solid heeler build and didn’t have the prominent waist tuck she has now. Her current build isn’t typical for a heeler, but it is intentional! I’ve developed her body condition to be as lean as possible to protect her joints and reduce the risk of early-onset osteoarthritis, as she has experienced major joint issues. The best way to ensure she lives a long, healthy life with minimal pain in her later years is by reducing unnecessary strain on her joints through maintaining a lighter weight, and building lean muscle. As for Winnie’s unique coat, her colouring is typically referred to as even red or solid red, meaning she has very little speckling ✨ Off-standard coats and structures for both heelers, kelpie, and collies are more commonly seen in working lines, where dogs are bred for performance, endurance and agility over show standards. She may not be your textbook heeler, but I still think it’s pretty easy to tell what breed she is! ❤️‍🔥 What do you think? 👇 #cattledog #australiancattledog #redheeler #heelerlife #heelersoftiktok #dogsoftiktok
