Fox News
The American Kennel Club has officially recognized the Lancashire Heeler, a small herding breed characterized by its smile, making it eligible for dog shows in the U.S.
With long bodies and short coats that are often black and tan, the solidly built dogs are shaped a bit like a downsized corgi, standing around 1 foot at the shoulder and weighing up to about 17 pounds. Historically, they were farm helpers that could both drive cattle and rout rats, and today they participate in an array of canine sports and pursuits.
