Texas heelers can be half heeler as mine are while also being part Australian shepherd, or either of those breeds can be crossed with a border collie.
Blue heelers, red heelers, cattle dogs, Australian cattle dogs and Queensland heelers are all names for the same breed which can all just be called heelers too. They have a reputation for being a little nippy and I once had (briefly) a pure heeler who bit a brand new tire on my truck and ruined it. (He went back to the rescue when my brother was worried how dependable he was with his young kids.) But got along great with Heidi. When Heidi is excited she'll nip. Sometimes when I'm throwing the ball for her she'll lean in and nip me. I've also seen her nip a pit who was standing closer than she liked while waiting for me for me to throw it. But she loves all people and is a petting slut. If someone immediately reaches to pet Smoke or just looks at him too long he may growl but he has never nipped. Other dogs can take his ball and he doesn't get bent out of shape. He is kind to puppies and small dogs but only ever wants to play with his Sith lord.

That's cool.
Yes. I'll bet you could put her to good use in your side job as a hitman.
Hit "man"?
Dying to live, living to die.
