Lancashire Heelers make ideal agility dogs

Lancashire Heelers are intelligent, full of energy and ideal for activity, work and competition as well as making wonderful companions. Strong and agile, , the agility arena offers a great opportunity for a dog to use up excess energy. Be under no illusions, the discipline and training required for these events are no mean feat but there is no doubt that they provide great fun and entertainment for Lancashire Heelers, their handlers, and a captivated audience.
