Update on Timmy: MAY 2019 Wonderful for Timmy and Heather.
Just thought that I would let you know that Timmy and I entered a Scentwork UK Level 6 trial on 18th May, we qualified, that means passed, and came 4th out of 10. Well impressed with this little dog, and he was little in comparison with the rest of the dogs. - Heather
"Thought that I should update you on Timmy's Scentwork UK progress. We did our Level 5 this afternoon, 28th October, 2018, not only did we pass we came 2nd in a group of 11 dogs. Timmy was a really good boy, and I didn't make too many mistakes. - Heather"
He passed his level 4 on 10th June, 2018 at trial in Daglington, Glous. He didn't win this time but the trial was hard for a little dog, I was really proud of him.
Our trainer says that we join the 'big boys' now that we are working towards level 5. The structure of the trial changes so this could take us a while.
Timmy did his level 3 trial today. Oct/17 He won again scoring 98/100, he scored full marks but my handling skills lost 2 marks, must do better next time.
Great News from Timmy he passed his Scentwork UK level 1 last October, and his level 2 last Friday, 27th May, 2017. Timmy also came first in both these trials, the other dogs were Spaniels, Boxers and German Shepherds. I am very proud of him.
Heather Poulton
Well done to Heather and Timmy - The Lancashire Heeler Club

A HEELER SOCIAL SUMMER MEET
On Sunday the 24th August, 2014, at 1 o clock, held an informal 'meet' of Lancashire Heelers and their owners, on the Green at Lytham sea front, opposite the Lowther Gardens.
Everyone was cordially invited and we had a good "picnic"/dog socialising afternoon, to promote the Lancashire Heelers to as many of the numerous inquisitive members of the public who usually frequent the sea front promenade on their weekend day out.
There is an interesting article and photos, in the March edition of 'LancashireLife' by correspondent Emily Rothery, on sale in the stores, all Heeler fans should have a read
Lancashire Heelers at The Manchester Pet Show Discover Dogs Thank you to everyone who did their stint in promoting our dogs
"Having read the book 'Crackers Come Hear', it was a very moving story and kept me engrossed, I thoroughly enjoyed it and even now months after I finished it, it still leaves me with memories, and I read a lot and it has to be a very good book for it to stick in my memory slot. I can more than recommend this book for Heeler owners or for the people who find themselves in the same position." Enid Lord
Thank you for including my book Crackers... Come Hear on your website. Enid Lord's testimonial was lovely and I thank her most sincerely for her words as well as for you to post it on your site. I have finished the audio book of Crackers... Come Hear and am most excited to now be able to tell our story to my many blind friends who use Guide Dogs for their assistance. Thank you everyone at LHC for your support over so many years. All the best throughout the coming new year to all. With hugs and smiles, Dennis Robertson

Lancashire Heelers are a native breed of the United Kingdom originating from the County of Lancashire, they were used on farms to herd cattle and sheep, they are the smallest dog in the Pastoral group, this group comprises of dogs who were used since the very early days of mans first close association with dogs
In 1978 a group of Heeler enthusiasts from all parts of the United Kingdom decided to form a group and named it The Lancashire Heeler Club. Then under the guidance of a lady Mrs Gwen Mackintosh the dogs were recognised by the Kennel Club in 1981. Our aim is to help and promote our lovely dogs.
