PLACES LIMITED TO 10 DOGS AND HANDLERS - £20 per dog.
THIS EVENT IS FOR HEELERS ONLY
A LIMITED NUMBER OF SPECTATORS WILL BE WELCOME - £5 per spectator
Rally Obedience is a relatively new dog sport and involves dogs competing in a series of exercises based on obedience and control. We will learn about the origins of Rally Obedience and everyone will be able to try a simple course. The use of treats and verbal commands is encouraged and everyone with a fit and healthy dog, whether they have done any formal training or not, should be able to take part and have a go. This is an introductory day with the emphasis on having fun and encouraging your dogs.
The training will take place indoors, which is why spectator places are restricted to a maximum of 10. Please respect this.
Places will be allocated on a first come - first served basis and we will keep a reserve list.
Please give it a try! All you need is a fit heeler, some treats and a smile

The Lancashire Heeler Club Rescue
We are launching an appeal for Donations in regards to work being carried out at our Rescue Centre. Due to recent years of constant rain we find the kennel area needs drainage installing, and the top surface in the runs needs replacing.
We hope you can help. Donations please to:
LHC Secretary Mrs A Bancroft, 13 Limewood Close, Accrington. Lancs. BB5 6UL Tel: 01254 398771 or any Committee Member
"Could I on behalf of the LHC thank everyone who has donated so far towards the work that was needed to the rescue runs. Every bit helps so no matter how much or little you can give we are very grateful.
I have bought some Croft panelling and a gate for rescue to use, this gives me two gates so I do not have to take them through the other section. Also we have to get the fencing up, Brian Green has offered to do this, I think I am the labourer but if anyone else is fit and has some free time please do call !!
We also have been offered help to buy the rest of the fencing.
We urgently need 7 ft posts ideally not too wide prefer metal as we have to get through the hardcore to fix these anyone any ideas?
As ever we are in debt to David and Carol Eagle, not only did they donate £238 towards the micro chipping course and equipment, including the scanner, but gave another £200 towards the rescue work.
To finish on a good note for all those at the AGM the 2 old dogs (11 & 12) in kennels, who last week we were told we could not take out because SS have been paying the bill, are now to be released, a new home has been found, & they are to stay together, which is wonderful news, they have been in kennels since December, we will do a vet check and hopefully by this weekend they can be on their way to live in the Northants area." Enid

A big thank you to our two Judges Mr Mike Vincent & Mr Keith Armer
"Just wanted to say what a pleasure it was to be asked to judge the Companion Dog Show on 1st July 2012. It is a shame the weather wasn't kinder and that many people decided to stay at home out of the wind and rain".
"I should like to thank those who came and brought their dogs and also all the organisers for their hard work and their warm hospitality. It is always a pleasure being with Heeler people and I know I will always get a warm welcome, so I was very happy to help with this event". - Mike Vincent
Thank you to those who came for braving the unsettled weather and we would like to thank the following for their kind donations

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.
Looking round this website you will see information on where to buy a puppy, breeding advice, health information, health lists, and how to join the Club, information on the show scene, agility and other activities: Our Shows and events.
