Lancashire Heeler

You’ve probably guessed from the name, but the Lancashire Heeler will go for your ankles if you aren’t careful. They’re native to England and the Kennel Club UK considers them a vulnerable breed. Even though their origin is somewhat of a mystery, it’s thought that the breed is a mix of the Welsh Corgi and the Manchester Terrier. It’s not surprising that these small dogs were originally used to herd cattle. Normally black and tan in color, Lancashire Heelers are alert, friendly, and playful. Most importantly, they need plenty of exercise.

Mudi

A Hungarian herding breed, the Mudi is related to the Puli and Pumi breeds. It’s mostly used for sport, companionship, and show nowadays. The breed was discovered in 1936, but it was called a driver dog back then. Unfortunately, after being discovered, it almost went extinct since a lot of them were killed in World War II. These days, owners need to make sure that they give these loud, curly dogs a lot of exercise.
