About Lakeland Terriers...

    The Lakeland Terrier comes from the Lake District in England. Lakeland Terriers have been used to hunt and kill foxes to protect lambs. Lakeland Terriers have been one of the most popular working Terriers in the U.K. since the 1800s.

   Lakeland Terriers are brave and hardy. They are intelligent, alert, confident and bold.. They are friendly breed and get along with children well with the energy to match them. Lakeland Terriers are level headed, and fun loving.

    Lakeland Terriers are a small, workman-like dog of square, sturdy build who resemble the wire fox terrier. They are thought to be the exact copy of the Airedale Terrier, miniaturized. They have short drop ears that are round on the ends, and quite a face with facial hair. They have rather narrow bodies, but deep chests. They are smaller dogs, but with the same amount of ability as any bigger dog. Generally they like everyone they meet and can distinguish friends from strangers. They are good watch dogs, and good guard dogs for their size. They are lively, intelligent and stubborn. They are level headed and of sound temperament. The Lakeland Terrier is an enthusiastic breed who enjoys playing with adults or children and has a way of getting its own way, they are keenly intelligent and typically learn quickly, except in the area of housebreaking which may require a bit of patience. Lakelands get along well with other dogs.

    The Lakeland Terrier has a dense, wiry coat with longer hair on the legs and muzzle, often giving him a distinct beard. Small and sturdy, the breed's narrow frame allows him to squeeze into rocky dens to chase after vermin. While generally a show dog or family companion today, Lakelands can also be found utilizing their natural instincts at earthdog events or digging in the backyard. The breed comes in a variety of colors including blue, black, liver, red and wheaten with or without a patch of color over the back and shoulders called a "saddle".
