Caring for a Lancashire Heeler

Health

A 2024 UK study found the breed has a notably long life expectancy (average 15.4 years, among the longest of any breed studied); patellar luxation, eye conditions, and Collie eye anomaly are the main concerns worth screening for.

Nutrition

A quality small-breed diet in measured portions.

Grooming

The dense, waterproof coat needs only a light brushing and occasional bath — genuinely low-maintenance.

Training

Intelligent and eager, Lancashire Heelers do well with consistent, positive training and enjoy having a job given their herding background.

About the breed

A small English droving breed from Lancashire, once called the "butcher's dog" for its role herding cattle to market; listed as endangered by the UK Kennel Club and only AKC-recognized in 2024.

Courageous, happy, and affectionate, Lancashire Heelers sometimes part their lips in a distinctive expression fans describe as a smile.
