Lancashire Heeler

Lancashire Heelers (9-17 pounds) are energetic, intelligent, and sturdy, great for active owners. They’re kid-friendly with supervision but may herd toddlers. Moderate exercise (1 hour daily, herding or walks) suits their small frame; their short coat needs minimal brushing.

Feed 0.5-1 cup daily of Hill’s Science Diet Small Paws Chicken & Rice, with 23% protein for their energy and joint health. Monitor portions to avoid obesity. Suited for both indoor and outdoor living with secure yards, they adapt to apartments with exercise.

Training curbs nipping. Perfect for owners seeking a compact, lively dog, Heelers thrive with engagement, not for sedentary or urban-only homes.
