HEALTH SUB COMMITTEE
This sub committee was appointed in May 2009 and will serve for two years. At its meetings, canine health issues are brought forward and discussed, particularly those which relate directly to the Lancashire Heeler. The results of the meeting are taken forward to the main LHC committee for further discussion and/or action as deemed necessary.

Each Kennel Club breed has a Health Co-ordinator and the main aim is 'to facilitate, over time, the communication and collection of as much data on breed health as possible.' It is also expected that each breed will develop different types of health co-ordination according to need.
The Lancashire Heeler Puppy co-ordinator can help you find Lancashire Heeler puppies or help with litter placement, providing club guidelines have been followed with matings.
