We’re diving deep into the outback today to track down a legendary Australian Cattle Dog named Banjo to figure out how these pups handle the toughest jobs on the planet. From his tactical coat to that famous cattle dog stare, Banjo is helping us investigate why Blue Heelers have a reputation for being tougher than a bag of nails and having a battery life that never hits zero.
You’ve found the Dog In The Pool Podcast dudes, the coolest show on the internet hosted entirely by talking dogs where we get the real scoop on what’s actually going on in the canine world. Us pups are pulling our guest Banjo into the pool all the way from Australia for some high-level intel on the heeler dog technique and the wild history of the ACD breed.

Those spiders are horrific! 😳
What’s up dudes and dudettes, do you reckon your dog could handle the farm life with Banjo, or are they more of a chilled-out home dog like Dip? Big thanks to Banjo the Blue Heeler for taking a time out to join us on the podcast!
Drop a comment and tell us if your pup is a high-energy working legend or a professional couch-vibes officer, we want to hear about the whole pack!
Miniature Australian here!!!
I chase deer and ground squirrels, sometimes even run into rattlers.
No pool here!!!
Good morning!
Liked and hyped
You guys are awesome ❤
Thanks for introducing us to your brethren down under. Looking forward to more interviews❤❤
I have a city dog but my grandpup is a blue heeler.
🦘Yo Aussie Pack! We are still kind of super confused about the upside world of Australia. How does that even work guys? Super scary! 🦘
I have a pure border collie from champion herding lineage and a border collie/ Australian cattle dog (blue heeler) mix. They play ball, hike and do agility in a big back yard they have access to all day from a dog door. They are capable of lounging around but ready to go in the blink of an eye. The heeler mix is white with black over the eyes and ears and the typical diamond shaped spot between the ears. He has one black patch at the tail and very small spots just visible through the long bc type coat. Since the bc is the typical black with minimal white markings they are very cute together, same height and weight. People want to call them yin and yang.
They keep kids from wandering off, too.😊
I love it when Albert gets upset and calls bogus!!!
Video hyped! I love we are getting international guests!
I have a chihuahua and an English pionter. They are perfect!!!!! We live in a village with olive trees around our house 🏠
Our pup is Rufus, a Beagle/Dachshund mix, built low to ground so he can find treats dropped under the shortest of tables.
His main job is protecting our home and family. He'll play tag with his cat brother and sister and be the enforcer when they wrestle too hard.
No pool here. We live in the middle of a small town with a fenced lot. Rufus keeps the property clear of squirrel intruders, as well as chipmunks and moles in the flower beds.
After being let out to do his business he'll check the perimeter for any sign of intrusion before heading back inside to get his treat. I mean paycheck. Ahem.
The spot he loves best is next to his Dad either on the couch or in the bed. He'll stay by Mom's side when Dad is away, showing true commitment to the entire pack!
Best of all, Rufus loves going on walks and taking car rides. He's definitely a solid member of the pool pack even if he doesn't have a pool! Thanks for listening to his story!
Banjo is such a great name for such a hard working dog!
Used to have a black blue heeler, farmer bred her that way. Grizzly Bear could open manual roll down windows in the car. She was too smart.
😊❤ Banjo was cool. Loved his accent. I live in the Country so Sophia has 3 acres to run around. We have cows close to us they are fenched so Sophia can't get to them but she does watch them to make they behave 😂 Thankss Pool Dudes good interview with Banjo. Keep it real pool dudes😊❤
When my Lindi was with me she was the top of the "City Pups".I was the working one keeping her satisfied and happy. I still am a big fan of the Pool Pups. I would love to see a clip about the Boston Terrier. It was the first breed developed in the US after the revolution and is the best breed ever.
Bruce would love to hang out with Banjo on the farm, he loves every type of weather, loves chasing squirrels, rabbits, and birds, sometimes I wonder if he’s got some herding dna in him, although the dna test didn’t detect any. When he arrived home as a pup he would run around me in circles and nip at my heels. This morning he was running circles around me as I replenished the bird feeders, jumping at my coat and arms. We have crazy cold snowy weather today but that didn’t stop him. Bruce is an Australian Labradoodle.
They ARE "holding down the suburban perimeter!" 🐾❤🐾😊
I have a working dog, an Australian Cattle Dog, by the name of Trixie. Her job is checking the perimeter of our 200 acres, which she does 3 times a day. There is not one squirrel within this perimeter! She is 100% on board with the take down of the squirrel syndicate!
Two city "shelias" here. Let me tell you, it isn't all plush in the city. We work 24/7 keeping our humans in line. Making sure they keep the water sparkling clean in our bowl & food too. For fun, we make them go to the door to let us outside even when we don't need to potty.😁 We just stand on the patio & survey the perimeter for squirrels or other evil threatening rodents. Also, making sure the blankets are clean & fluffed before settling in for a long deserved nap. Hooman mum keeps any rattlers out. In her younger days, she went on "rattle snake roundups" here in Texas, she's retired now, but keeps a look out for them! But, the snakes do have one good thing, they don't like squirrels either! LOL to you out there & down under too!!
G'day mates, I'm a 'blue heeler' Aussie Cattle Dog. I live in the States & have a full life! I run Agility courses every morning and afternoon, chase feral cats & deer off my property and assist my mom with chores. She doesn't feed me in a bowl! At meal times, She hides my food all over our house for me to Find It! And she fills tricky puzzles, with organic chicken, veggies and more! So my mind and body stay fit! I'll be sweet 16 soon and I FLY through those weave poles, Great Fun dancing with my mom! Gotta go! Something good's on the barbie! G'Day mates! 🐾
Good intel on working dogs never had one so this was interesting.
My blue heeler destroyed all my stuffies. Each time he found a new one, he’d bust the eyes out and pull the stuffing out of its nose. I kept saying I was going to do the same thing to him, but he didn’t believe me. I sure miss Cowboy. 😢❤
Small town Boston terrier here. My work is obedience and my passion is balls. I know a blue healer in town.
Come on dudes , that down under thing must be a lie , the earth can’t be a ball🤔
That Blue heeler has an accent like Crocodile Dundee.
My dog loves to guard things and me to 😊
I’m so happy to see a fellow blue cattle dog on your show Dip & Albert. My boy, Duncan, is just like Banjo. He’s up at 4am every morning wanting his tucker. He’s super smart, has instinctual herding ability skills, can open doors & gates, understands complex words & commands and is a border patrol SWAT officer. He can tell time too. He usually prompts me the exact moment when dinner is supposed to be. Duncan has saved us from some deadly snakes & spiders on our property this summer. He’s our superhero. Featuring Banjo today has given Duncan & I great delight. Thanks dudes!!❤❤❤❤
Hey pool dudes, you guys should take a holiday and visit the upside-down world of Australia. I'm sure Banjo would put you to work 😂😂
❤❤
