Summary
About Bouvier des Ardennes

About Lancashire Heeler
Small, sturdy British farm dog, the Lancashire Heeler is energetic, intelligent and agile, with a compact, low-slung body and weatherproof black-and-tan or liver-and-tan coat. Affectionate yet independent, it needs regular training, mental stimulation and exercise, and remains a rare, vulnerable native breed.
