Lancashire Heeler
The Lancashire Heeler is a small yet sturdy, alert, energetic and powerful working dog. They are either black and tan or liver and tan, with a weather resistant double coat and a natural tail that is carried in a slight curve. They are courageous, happy and affectionate, due to their heritage, they have instincts to work as a cattle drover and also as a hunter of rabbits and rats.
Lancashire Heeler History:
As the name suggests, the Lancashire Heelers origins are in Lancashire, Northern England. The breed is thought to have come around between crosses of visiting Welsh Corgi’s, that were escorting herds to local markets, and the indigenous Manchester Terriers.
Historically, Lancashire Heelers have been used for rounding up cattle and sheep on farms by sharply nipping the herd’s heels, as well as being regarded ratters and rabbit hunters. They are uncommon outside of Northern England and rarely found outside of the United Kingdom. In 1982 they attained formal recognition by the Kennel Club.
