Lancashire Heeler latest news
June 2010
News from a very (and justifiably!) proud Joy Fairbairn. Congratulations to Firkin and Joy. No doubt we'll be hearing lots more about the 'Pocket Rocket'!
Lancashire Heeler Agility Star!
Firkin, (Simonsville Casper) has just had his first major win at Wigton, Cumbria Kennel Club agility show by having the only clear round and winning his class in Grade 1 Agility.
His Mummy Joy hasn't stopped smiling since and is so proud of him. Having been to 3 big two day KC agility shows so far, he is the only Lancashire Heeler on site and receives a lot of attention. He is a little pocket rocket and usually does the course perfectly. If only he could lick his mum into shape and get her to smarten up on her directions this could be a team with a bright future!

Kerstin Weber has sent us the very latest in breeding programme innovation. Her Lancashire Heeler Smilla is much admired by friends and there is just not enough Smilla to go around it seems! If you have the same problem you may like to follow Kerstin's example and 'Build your own Lancashire Heeler'!
Thank you Kerstin

January 2010 - Manchester Best Veteran
A Lancashire Heeler is never too old to work, play.... well we could fill a page and often do. Lankeela Lucky Heather proved this week that we can also add looking beautiful and a picture of health and fitness to that list, as seen here.
Heather was awarded Best Veteran at Manchester at the grand old age of fourteen and a very proud Jacky Cutler also took home more prizes with Heather's daughters - a First in Limit Bitch for Lankeela Tutti Frutti and a 2nd in Post Graduate Bitch for Lankeela Top Totty.
Well done to Jacky and the 'Lankeela girls' and all Manchester winners. Further results were:

January 2010 - Lancashire Heeler puppies at Foxthyme
Enid Lord has sent me this beautiful picture of her litter of 9 Lancashire Heeler puppies at only 12 hours old on 2nd January. Amongst them are 7 Lancashire Heeler puppy bitches.
This is Foxthyme Ellie's last litter. Ellie is Dog World top Lancashire Heeler Brood Bitch for the 2nd year running and is Dam to CH Foxthyme Eliza and CH Foxthyme Oliver Cromwell ShCM. Congratulations Enid - and Ellie of course! Enid tells me that she has reared a litter of 9 Lancashire Heeler puppies before but many years ago. This time daughter Samantha has been drafted in to help with all the hard work and puppy socialising.
January 2010 - Lancashire Heelers in Stud Book Band A
The January Kennel Club Gazette has the latest Stud Book Bands for 2010 and Lancashire Heelers have been placed back in Band A (1st in Open Class). Effectively this means that Stud Book numbers for Lancashire Heelers will only now be awarded for 1st place in Open classes and CC/RCC/JW winners. This is due to the declining number of Lancashire Heelers being shown, as they are based on the entries for the past two years.
November 2009 - Lancashire Heeler Agility star is 'Extra Special'
Clive, (Telpoolwyn Extra Special), at our club agility show, came a 3rd in agility and 2nd in jumping,
Also he has got a distinction in Heel work to music progress award!!
I'm very proud of my boy.
