The Lancashire Heeler has been known in its native county of England for many years as a sporting dog and dispeller of vermin. As its name suggests, it was developed to herd cattle by nipping at their heels, but also has strong terrier instincts and is an excellent rabbiter and ratter. It is a small dog, and its coat is black with tan markings, although the richness of the tan may fade with age. White is discouraged, except for a very small white spot on the forechest that is permitted but not desirable. The Lancashire Heeler is a happy, affectionate little dog that gets on well with humans and other pets. It requires an average amount of exercise and daily brushing.
