Lancashire Heeler Club

The Lancashire Heeler Championship show 19th Oct 2025

A huge thank-you for a lovely entry of 50 dogs ,with exhibitors coming from Belgium and France ,& from one end of the Uk to Scotland.

To the committee who provide all the fabulous home made food, a very busy weekend as we hosted a Breed Appreciation day on the Saturday before our Sunday Championship show Well done ,also my excellent stewards Grant & Elizabet who kept the classes rolling.

It’s very different looking at dogs from the ring side, some I really admired .

Quite different when you go over them.

All had lovely temperaments , some mouths not 100% and I forgave one or two, slightly out.

Generally we are heading in the right direction one notably concern how many were round in eye!! Others Pale in Tan ,& lacking tan face markings .

Movement also a concern some quite narrow behind others pinning in front .

Size also seems quite varied.

As breeders we are responsible for this vulnerable native breed.

Choosing the best sire and Dams for producing as near to our standard .
