DID YOU KNOW? When the Titanic sailed on its maiden voyage there were three breeds of dog that survived on that fateful day on 14th April 1912 when the White Star Liner was hit by an iceberg. Two of these were from the Toy Breed - the Pomeranian and the Pekinese, and they were allowed on the life boats with their owners very early in the evening as the life boats were still very empty and no one seemed to object. The third dog was a Newfoundland, owned by the first officer of the Titanic. The dog was found swimming in the icy waters and assisted a life boat in locating human survivors. * * * * * *
DID YOU KNOW?  The Lancashire Heeler (puppy pictured left) is a member of the Pastoral Group. It is also known as the Ormskirk Heeler.This little dog (when fully grown) stands between 25cm to 30cm in height. It lives, on average, to around 12 - 13 years. Little is known about the history of this sturdy little dog. It has been known to exist since the 1600's, during which time it was used on farms and to drive cattle. It also has good hunting instincts and was therefore used to catch rabbits and rats. This dog is thought to be the result of cross-breeding between the Welsh Corgi and the Manchester Terrior. The Lancashire Heeler is considered to be an intelligent dog, but with a slightly stubborn streak. It is an active dog and enjoys plenty of exercise. It is generally very friendly and gets on well with adults and older children. However, this dog is not particularly suitable as a first time pet if you have babies and toddlers. Some can be a little nervous with strangers and other dogs, therefore early socialisation with people and other animals is a must. * * * * * * |
