Lancashire Heeler Association

The Lancashire Heeler Association is a new Lancashire Heeler Club for the UK!

24th April 2012

The Kennel Club have today confirmed that they have approved the Lancashire Heeler Association as a Kennel Club Registered Breed Club.

This is an outstanding achievement for a committee and its member supporters in less than a year of existence.

Until her tragic death in October 2011, the club were led by its chairman Miss Tracy St Clair Pearce whose wish was to see the club recognised. A long known supporter of rare breeds, Miss St Clair Pearce campaigned strongly for health and the dogs themselves to come before any club or owner interest. Under her stewardship the Association has encouraged many newcomers into the breed and supported and sponsored a new breed database enabling owners and breeders to share health and breed information about their dogs, together with pedigrees and photographs. The database now holds almost 5000 pedigrees and will be archived to the Kennel Club Library.

The Lancashire Heeler Association has a single criteria for it's activities 'for the dogs'. Already they have staged a number of health focussed events and activities focussed on dog owners and breed supporters to encourage numbers into the breed and to highlight best practice amongst breeders and owners. More than 50 Lancashire Heelers attended their Fun Day last year. Events are staged each month and the committee make great efforts to ensure that events take place throughout the country.

The AGM of the newly recognised Lancashire Heeler Club will be held on 13th May 2012. Full details can be found on the Lancashire Heeler Association's webiste

Our recent fund raising event even saw members in Europe receiving personal visits en route! Health Seminars and testing, Heeler walks and get togethers, introduction to breed standard and judging, companion shows and more.
