The 9th International Pedigree Dog Exhibition is staged in Targi Kielce is a perfect occasion to see the rare dog-beauties.  Many pet-lover have experienced the situation when walking with their dog they came across a person who exclaimed "what a miraculous mongrel", much to the pedigree champion owner's  indignation. Therefore it is worth paying a visit to Targi Kielce on 21 and 22 November and see all the extraordinary dogs.

One of the more interesting and less common breeds is Lancashire Heeler. It used would be uses as a drover and herder of cattle. The manner in which dogs managed the cattle was catching it by the fetlock without harming the animal, thus the  English name heeler which comes after the word heel. This breed has not yet been classified by the FCI (Fédération Cynologique Internationale), however dogs can compete in national championships.

This year's 9th International Pedigree Dog Exhibition staged in Targi Kielce on 21 and 22 November is the chance to see this kind of unusual dogs.  We are looking forward to seeing you at the expo!
