A passion for Lancashire Heelers <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Lancashire Heeler, the smallest herding breed anywhere, originated in rural England. A lively breed with strong instincts for its original purposes of herding livestock and managing vermin, these tough little dogs are adaptable and excel at a wide variety of jobs and dog sports.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
