A friend of mine's got one just like this, but brown, probably got some of this breed's genes in it.

The Lancashire Heeler may be small but its packing real work dog energy. Smart brave and even smiles when happy. Great for active families who can give it a job and attention its not your typical lap dog.

Originally bred to herd cattle, it has retained this ability to this day. The Lancashire Heeler is a relatively rare breed, so the work of breeders is of paramount importance for its survival.
