British Heritage Dog Breeds ...because they're worth it!

British Heritage Dog Breeds Logo

Our Mission is to provide a place that like minded individuals, who care about British Heritage Dog Breeds, can visit, exchange views, pick up information, read reports and view event listings. It is not a Club, Organisation, Foundation or Commercial site. All British breeds are part of our heritage however, in the context of this web site, British Heritage Dog Breeds are defined as those vulnerable and numerically small breeds which need some assistance, like an ancient listed building or an important work of art.

British Heritage Dog Breeds are proud to have been involved with the concept and original planning of a ground breaking event which will be happening over the weekend of 19th and 20th June 2010. The Sussex Spaniel Association with the full support of Countryman Fairs Ltd are arranging for what may well be the largest ever gathering of Sussex Spaniels outside a dog show at the Sussex Game and Country Fair.

The Fair will be held in Parham Park, which are the grounds to the magnificent Parham House, Storrington, West Sussex, nestling at the foot of the South Downs.

For England & St George - Manchester TerriersElla Eva writes:

"Manchesters and their owners took part in the St George’s Day parade on the streets of Manchester city. Getting to the start of the parade was a bit of a nightmare as all the diversions due to street closures for the parade confused everybody’s sat navs.

But they all arrived in costume and with the Club’s banner that Bill Hague made for us, so that no one could be in any doubt that the dogs were Manchester Terriers. Ann & Chris Harrison arranged the day for the Club and she says that they had a ball walking down crowd lined streets with the sounds of clapping and “Aaaahh Dogeeees”.

The dog show is actually a small but significant part of a massive celebration of rural life. Well over 100,000 visitors, many of them making annual pilgrimages, will flock in to the showground over the three days of Thursday 10th to Saturday 13th of June 2010.

An event like the Royal Cornwall Agricultural Show gives those of us with rare dog breeds a chance to show our wares to a very wide audience. A standalone open dog show, even a championship show, may attract very few visitors. Those who do attend are usually well versed in the world of dogs and have already established pretty set ideas about the breeds they’re interested in.

The Kelmarsh Country Fair marks the start of the game fair season. Showcasing country life at its best, the Kelmarsh Country Fair attracts a fusion of families and field sports enthusiasts who take part in an outstanding range of countryside attractions and family entertainment.

British Heritage Dog Breeds are grateful to the organisers, Countryman Fairs Ltd, for their support at their fairs for our BHDBs and for the first time in 2010, there will be a dedicated BHDB pavilion at Kelmarsh Game & Country Sports Fair. A big thank you to all the volunteers who will be manning the pavilion with their dogs over the weekend.

Do you think that rebranding "Vulnerable" breeds as "Heritage Breeds" is a good idea?
