Choosing a Lancashire Heeler Breeder

The Lancashire Heeler is a small active and usually very healthy dog, living on average 10-12 years. A life span of 15+ years is not unusual and we have known of Lancashire Heelers living as long as 22 years! Such a commitment is not to be taken lightly.

A reputable breeder will ask you many searching questions before parting with one of their much loved puppies. Some of the breeders whose names appear on this site have many years experience. They breed their litters with the betterment of the breed in mind. Their litters are bred to achieve improvements on the sire and dam used and to improve the health and soundness of the breed. Their litters are planned to ensure that they have the time, energy and resources to whelp and look after that litter in the best possible environment.

NEVER buy a puppy from a small ad in the newspaper or an internet website alone. ALWAYS insist on seeing the puppy in it's own environment. Visit the breeders home at least twice, preferably more: for your first visit leave your purse / wallet / cheque book at home! We cannot offer guarantees for any breeder that appears on these pages and do not recommend one breeder over another. However, ALL breeders that appear here are known to us, are committed to The Kennel Club Code of Ethics and DO NOT breed litters purely for commercial gain. We often receive questions concerning much cheaper puppies advertised in newspapers and puppy sites. Health testing, DNA testing, quality veterinary care for dam and litter, stud fees etc. are considerable expenses. A reputable breeder will always be able to justify the prices they ask for precious puppies and in most cases breeding a litter results in financial loss for a breeder of this type.

Good luck in your search for your Lancashire Heeler puppy. Don't forget to send us your pictures and experiences!
