Astrid and Jean Paul from Holland

At the Winner show in Amsterdam, seven heelers participated, but a lot more were present and promoted the breed. As this was the first public appearance on a major show, we would like to write a bit about it.

On both days there was a lot of interest in the breed at the "Discover Dogs" booth. The general breed presentations at Saturday and Sunday drew attention to the breed in and outside the showring. The Lancashire Heeler had the floor for herself at Sunday. Twelve heelers participated in this parade.

The show results were:

Veteran class dogs

Foxthyme Herby Goes Dutc (Herbie): 1 Excellent, BD, CAC, W09, BoB
