The goal of our breeding programme is an active and hardy small multipurpose dog which will give its owner joy both as a walking companion and a partner in a variety of other activities. 

We run our breeding programme on a small scale from home and because it is our hobby - not our job - we only have puppies occasionally. However, we take our hobby seriously and that is why our litters are carefully planned. Choices are discussed with the breeding committee of our breed association as well as with other breeders and experts. Our aim is to choose the dogs whose puppy we would ourselves be willing to own. Our first priorities are good character and health, but we also aim to produce dogs that fit the Lancashire Heeler breeding standard . The correct heeler type is a small, powerful, sturdily built, alert and energetic working dog.  

Myheels-puppies are born and grow in the family and will thus be familiar with all facets of everyday life from children and cars to (weather permitting) the outdoors from the beginning. The first few weeks are the key to the development of the puppies’ character and physiology, so we consider it our responsibility as breeders to offer them a safe, yet challenging environment. 

Because our dogs are very important to us, we choose their homes very carefully. As a prospective owner we hope you are active and engaged in the process from the beginning. It is important to familiriaze yourself with the characteristics of the breed beforehand. Because our breed manifests certain hereditary illnesses, breeding relies heavily on regular health checkups. As an owner of one of our puppies you must be ready to have your dog’s knees checked once and its eyes regularly. It is also very important for us to know how our dogs are doing as the years go by. This is why we would also appreciate if you as an owner would be prepared to stay in touch. If possible, we would also like our dogs to attend few shows and take part in the Finnish character test. 

Despite its small size the heeler is an active and energetic dog. To be happy, it needs lots of exercise and a task of its own within the family. That can be anything from learning tricks to training agility or being a running companion. The heeler does not bark without a reason, but there is no denying that it can sometimes be a loud little dog.  So if you are looking for a tranquil, quiet friend to take out on a slow stroll, the heeler may not be the right breed for you. But if you enjoy doing things with your dog and are prepared to give this little fire cracker the time and love it needs, you might well find it is just the dog for you.
