Website Changes - Can you spare 5 minutes?
It is now 3 years since we started this website with 12 pages and a handful of photos. The site is fast approaching 100 pages and has in excess of 400 photos. Unsurprisingly it is now more difficult to find some of our key information with the layout initially designed for a very different sort of website and we are, therefore, going to try to improve things.
We now have many more visitors from all over the world, members and non-members, some with Heelers and some without. We want to make sure that we serve all our visitors as best we can and would really appreciate your ideas and feedback to help us do this.
Can you spare 10 minutes to complete our feedback questionnaire?
It will only take 10 minutes of your time and will ensure that we are able to do the best for all parties.
Complete the feedback questionnaire
Alternatively email Janice Jones with your ideas

I want to let you know, with as much notice as possible, that there will be a committee meeting on 29th July. If there is ANYTHING that you want raised at the meeting please contact any committee member - and that includes me!
Very best wishes
Sarah
Chairmans Notes
10th June 2009
Dear Members
Since I was elected as Chairman on 26th April I don't think my phone has stopped ringing. I have been in constant contact with the committee and club members, and during this time we have had to deal with quite a lot of problems that were out of our control, but fortunately by a combination of working together and delegating tasks and taking advice from the Kennel Club we have achieved a fair bit in a short time...read more>>>

The Lancashire Heeler
Lancashire Heelers ....
sometimes called Ormskirk Heelers, were originally bred to help butchers drive their cattle to and from the markets. Ideal for this task these small, powerful, sturdily built dogs are very agile and quick, to avoid being kicked by angry cows.
It is thought that the Lancashire Heeler is descended from a 'meeting' of the Welsh Corgi and a northern black and tan terrier type and the stature and markings of these intelligent, energetic dogs certainly indicate that may be the case although there is no concrete evidence of this. The Lancashire Heeler is the smallest English herding dog and it belongs in the Pastoral Group.

Heeler of the Month - Betsy (with Bethany)
Please find attached to please put on your web site, pictures of our dog called Betsy or as we call her besty dog. She will be 13 years old in June, and is still a young and agile as she was as a puppy! She is one of the family and has grwn up with my daughter (who was 13 in Dec '08), and niece and nephew. We would be so lost without her!
We have had several heelers through our family over the years. They are a fantasic breed, and we would have no other breed!
Keep up the good work ,and thank you for giving us the chance of share our pictures of our beautiful dog!
thank you again,
Andrea (mum) Bethan (daughter) and Betsy dog
- Now ask me again - are Heelers good with children?! Ed.
Lancashire Heeler Smile
The Lancashire Heeler smile is a sought after trait and so very difficult to capture on camera.
This is Traqdean Troopin Lola showing that if you smile the Heeler world smiles with you. If there are any more Lancashire Heeler smile photos out there, send them to me and we'll start a collection.
