Meet the breeder
I'm the breeder behind Fun Size Heelers located in Laurinburg, NC. We were farmers in Illinois and we moved to Norh Carolina to retire. God has some different plans for us. Last October my husband had a stroke. I'm unsure what our future is but I do need to downsize my program. This is heartbreaking for me. I love providing quality puppies for you all.
Elizabeth’s experience
About Elizabeth
I grew up in the Midwest and am an animal lover to say the least. I would have a much bigger assortment of animals, but my husband keeps me in check. I was introduced to my first heeler a few years ago and then my husband surprised me with Annie for my birthday. After that, well things have lined up and here we are. If you would like to know our story, please ask. It's too much to write here. :)
What makes Elizabeth’s program special
I like to think we are special, because these babies are our family. I call them all my four-legged children. Each one has a unique personality, but they all are loyal. It is my hope that others will experience the same joy and love that we have had with them.

About Dani
Dani has been raised with us from a tiny pup and she is such a sweet girl. My husband would snuggle her on his chest when she was teeny tiny. To this day, she'll cuddle with you on the couch or chair. One special thing about my Dani girl, is when she is cuddling you, or at random times, she will moan like an old lady. To me it is endearing!
