Fun, friends, and support for all Lancashire Heeler owners!

The Companion Show was a joint venture between the Southern Lancashire Heeler Owners and Hearing Dogs for the Deaf

The Fun Day and Companion Show...

...was a fantastic day enjoyed by all. 180 dogs went on the walk in the morning.

The Lancashire Heeler Parade

Then there was a Parade of Heelers with a very informative talk given by Jacky Cutler.


This was followed by an agility display featuring 4 heelers: Flaxley, Thistle, Turbo, and Hogan. together with Kulu, a Doberman/ Gsp cross.


Lancshire Heeler Shadow and Gsp Cross Shadow put their owners through their paces

Turbo then went on to give a heelwork to music demonstration with Doberman 'Shadow', handled by owners Christina Oates and Donna Shirley.

Some quotes from the day:

"How lovely it is to go to a show with such friendly judges". - a competitor

A very young lady who got RBIS with her Sheltie said:

" One day I want to show at Crufts" she went on to win Junior Handler in her age group.

" I really wanted to come to the show to meet some other Heelers, having not come across another one since I collected Asbo from Traqdean in January. I wasn't disappointed! The parade was great fun, and a fair few people came up to me and Asbo afterwards to ask about the breed, where it originated, what the dogs were used for etc - I was glad I'd done my research before picking a Heeler! An absolute bonus for me was meeting Alfred, Asbo's litter mate, and also Turbo, his half brother - and seeing Turbo do both agility and doggy dancing was an inspiration! Entering the show itself was really secondary for us, as Asbo is my first heeler I had no idea how he would rate, and never having shown a dog before I wasn't at all sure if we'd muddle through! I was so thrilled when he won the special yearling class, and gob-smacked to get the reserve best in breed Thank you so much for organising such a fun day, Asbo and I wouldn't have missed it for the world."
