Lancashire Heeler Pedigree Database
"the three most important things for us all to focus on to ensure the future of the Lancashire Heeler are:
- to put the health and temperament of our dogs above all else
- to share information from the past present and future to help each other to achieve and maintain a healthy breed
- include and encourage all Lancashire Heeler owners in our activities and breeding programmes. The breadth of our gene pool has a direct correlation to the longevity of the Lancashire Heeler breed"

Lancashire Heeler Recognition - August 2011, 30 Years on..
This project is the result of ideas from the Lancashire Heeler community, discussions held with breeders, enthusiasts and vets. At its core is a Lancashire Heeler Database of pedigrees which we can all contribure to. The project will remain a work in progress for some time to come. This resource offers the ability to add pedigrees and pictures allowing every Lancashire Heeler owner the opportunity to interact with the history of the breed and influence its future welfare. Whilst this site is independently provided it is intended as a breed resource for all. With that in mind all materials provided and contributed here, and to the Lancashire Heeler Community site, will form part of a special collection catalogued on Heritage to be donated periodically and ultimately to The Kennel Club Library. This includes the Lancashire Heeler Database and all pictures and information submitted.
Lancashire Heeler History - Foundations for the Future
An aim of the work of this project is to enable us to remember and acknowledge the work of the breeders who put so much into the recognition and promotion of the Lancashire Heeler without
whom we would not be able to enjoy this historic breed today. I wish to acknowledge those I have been able to contact who have already provided photographs and breeding records which are gradually being added and invite others to contribute. If you prefer I am happy to enter personal records and to scan photographs for the Lancashire Heeler Database. 
Please contact me for assistance. I am also happy to write breeder features of compile articles on a particular dog that you feel of interest.
In particular I should like to thank Tracy St Clair Pearce, Chairman Lancashire Heeler Association for her encouragement and advice in who to contact, Sarah Whybrow in respect of Kathie Kidd and Gwen Mackintosh's records, Bob Bell, Jacky Cutler, Enid Lord, Dorothy Malins, Margaret McFarlane, Molly Old, Chris Norman, Bill and Ginnette Simpson, and Pat Taylor for the initial and ongoing offers of photographs and records enabling the start of this project;
Debbie Felstead, Kim Clare. Jess Flanagan, Caz Lee, Sophie Sheldon, Jean Paul
Smaal, Elaine Syrett, Jen Walton, Astrid Van Zijl and and the many members of 'Heeler Friends Too' group for initial data inputting and testing . Dick Koster, Netherlands Lancashire Heeler Club for his advice, co-operation and assistance and for providing access to the NLLHC database archive.
Eeva-Maija Lehtinen (Catellus), co-author of the First and Second Books with Kathie Kidd and provider of many illustrations on the Lancashie Heeler Community website, has also generously given her permission for the use of her many photos
of her own and other historic dogs for which I am most grateful.
