That doesn't sound to me like Busterb has any emotional interest in this "critter". I hope I'm wrong that a lot of screaming and kicks will come this pup's way if she "doesn't measure up", because I'm from the South and generally Southerners are good to their dogs and I'd like to think Busterb is the same. But if you want to discuss an animal from a purely functional sense, a Heeler is not the right dog to keep wildlife off your property. They herd by nipping the back legs of livestock, etc., and they are known to be a "mean" breed which can turn on the master or refuse discipline. He should look for a Hound breed instead, they will chase anything that moves and romp on it. But I suspect that either way, Busterb will be back on this board saying the dog has to go because it barks all night while keeping wildlife out of the yard, doing what dogs do naturally. Consider some nice quiet traps instead
