Turbos Gallery

 

  • Our first experience of a "Host of Heelers" (as Tracy calls them) and the choice is made.
  • The worried frown soon disappeared as Turbo realised he'd landed on his feet.
  • He was soon quite at home sharing the kitchen with Diamond our Vietnamese pot-bellied pig, Caper our old black German Shepherd, and Silver the young sable GSD bitch soon to be his very best friend.
  • Turbo being allowed by patient Silver to win the game of tug.
  • Pals for ever........
  • Turbo getting Silver to join him down at his level.
  • Turbo and me showing off his clicker-training tricks at Crufts when he was just 9 months old.
  • Flying through the air at agility.
  • Practising at home in the garden.
  • Ahhhhhh!
  • Lancashire Heeler, Turbo
    A Heeler pillow for Silver as I give her a massage. Turbo's already had his, as has the "pig" in the foreground!
  • Turbo in his snazzy coat keeping his muscles warm for agility.
  • This is Turbo and Shadow my friend's 9 year old Dobermann with whom he did a display at a local fete showing how dogs whatever their breed, age or size can enjoy learning good manners and tricks.  Their piece de resistance was Turbo weaving in and around Shadow's long legs and finishing in this pose.
  • Off duty back at home in a Heeler's natural habitat - the sofa.  And even better if there are a couple of Burmese pussy cats to keep him warm, even if they do look down their snooty feline noses at him.....
  • Out and about in the New Forest - spot the Heeler bottom.  I organise play dates for him and Silver (nicknamed Turbo Tours) a couple of times a month. A group of 10-12 dogs and their owners meet up for a 2-hour walk and a splash around.  Turbo may be quite the smallest of the TTers but he keeps all the GSD's, Rottweilers and Dobermanns, etc. under control.
  • Heelers can be elegant, too.  Here's Turbo posing in a clump of black grass (Ophipogon planescens nigra) - he looked so gorgeous I didn't have the heart to tell him off for squashing one of my prized plants.

Lancashire Heeler Traqdean Bouncing Chaucery

Turbo has spent the first year of his life being spoilt with Christina Oates and her family and some interestimg friends. No doubt the next stage of life will be even more interesting.

Turbo (Traqdean Bouncing Chaucery) is one of Tracy St. Clair Pearce's Lancashire Heelers.
His mum is Traqdean Jaunty Niquita and his dad is Lankeela Midsummer Michael Traqdean. He was born in May 2004 and came to live with me and my husband (Christina and Nigel Oates) in Wiltshire where he has made a big impression - Lancashire Heelers may be small dogs but they certainly occupy a lot of space in one's affections!
He has been through puppy and good manners classes and at 9 months old he took part in a clicker-training demonstration at Crufts. We did agility for a while until the rain and the cold got too much for me (not him). We now go to Heelwork to Music classes and he entered his first show in January 2007 where I was really chuffed that he won a rosette for coming 8th out of 15. So, you see, Lancashire Heelers CAN be trained!
Though I do have to admit that his attention span is pretty short and he knows he can make me laugh by doing a play bow when he's getting bored.
Hope you enjoy looking through this gallery of his life so far.
