Steeler the Australian Cattledog

Steeler had been with PRBJ for over a year before I found him through a volunteer. It's now been almost three years since my family adopted Steeler. It was evident from the beginning that Steeler was and continues to be "my" dog. He is my best buddy. I adopted him to be a real working dog for rounding up the cattle. The first time in the pasture he herded the cattle perfectly! Once Steeler got the cattle all to the trough, he got so excited that he jumped into the trough, scared the cattle, and they scattered! He went right back to work and successfully got them back to the trough. From the beginning, Steeler has been a great watch dog. Packages are delivered outside the gate of the driveway because the postal carriers don't have Steeler's permission to enter the property. Additionally, it's obvious someone trained him. I did not teach him but he knew sit, down, roll over, etc. He plays ball by bouncing the ball off of his nose and back to me. Also, if he is running full speed and I whistle, Steeler immediately stops and comes back to me. This is all without any training on my part. Steeler has plenty of other family members to choose from but he picks me. Steeler is one of kind. I will never find another dog as unbelievable as him.
