A very important difference between the Lancashire Heeler and the Whoodle is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Lancashire Heeler is a tiny-sized dog while the Whoodle is a medium-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Lancashire Heeler belongs to the Herding Dogs group. Herding Dogs were bred for moving livestock, including sheep, cattle, and even reindeer. Herding dogs work closely with their human shepherds, and their natural intelligence and responsiveness make them highly trainable. They have high levels of energy, which needs to be channeled properly to prevent destructive behavior. Herding breeds are protective of their people and property and make excellent watchdogs. Their intelligence, agility, and activity level make them well suited to dog sports.
On the other hand, the Whoodle belongs to the Mixed Breed Dogs group. Mixed Breed Dogs are not purebred dogs.
