RE: I grew up a lab fan..but we got a Blue Heeler

You got off lucky. I have groomed many of those dogs and they tend to be skittish,nippy and even mean. Because they are a herding dog they actually have more of a tendency to nip as that is how they herd animals by nipping the heels. I would be cautious of a heeler and kids.
