Latest News The Lancashire Heeler community of the United Kingdom are now getting together to sponsor, promote and encourage Lancashire Heeler pet people to be more involved in the future of the breed. These dogs are a true native breed originating from Lancashire.
The Lancashire Heeler community are very important in the UK, but not all pet people are aware of the vulnerability of the breed and the contribution they can give to the breed, so we are now making pet people aware of fun days, social gatherings and events in the future by this website, local newspapers, training clubs and radio all will be aware of the Lancashire Heeler being a Lancashire native vulnerable breed. We are open to all help, advice and offers of support. We are also contacting local firms for sponsorship and would like to hear from people interested in helping as we have been approached by numerous pet people to organise a social meeting for the Heeler community to get together and share their tales of this lovely breed. |
