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 breeds which are in need of some assistance, like an ancient listed building or an important work of art.

The purpose of this web site to form an interactive hub; a central meeting point for like-minded enthusiasts who care about the future of our British Heritage Dog Breeds. It is hoped that successful Heritage British Breed supporters will join us in our mission.

This is where we can share ideas, promote events, post on the forum, ask for volunteers, support or help and, most importantly, make contact with each other. This will be YOUR site; it will be international; the press will have access to it - we need to get the information out here on the web.

Why British Heritage Dog Breeds?

Many people have never really been comfortable with the 'vulnerable' label that the Kennel Club placed upon us. Whilst in essence this may well be true for several of our breeds, it is I believe a far too negative word to use when describing such a fantastic collection of breeds.

The dictionary definition of the word 'heritage' is:

Features belonging to the culture of a particular society, such as traditions, languages or buildings, which still exist from the past and which have a historical importance.

...totally appropriate for the celebration of our British Heritage Dog Breeds.

The main focus of this site will be on British Heritage Dog Breeds that are numerically challenged, and enthusiasts of all British breeds are invited to contribute.

May we also extend the hand of friendship towards our good friends the Irish dog breeds, with whom Paul has been working these last few years; please do come and join us.

Over the years Paul has met and worked with many like minded individuals who share our passion, concerns and ambitions for our dog breeds. May we all be united in our ambition to ensure the long term future of these wonderful British Heritage Dog Breeds. Why?

...Because they’re worth it!
