Lakeland Terrier Puppies

Lakeland Terriers are fearless protectors but with their families are often playful and affectionate. They make good companions for older children but should be supervised around younger kids. They are intelligent and pick up on training quickly, but they do have a tendency to be stubborn.

Lakeland Terriers are one of the most healthy breeds and don't have any known genetic health risks.

Lakeland Terriers have a moderate energy level and should receive about 30 minutes of exercise each day. They enjoy long walks or short runs and do well in homes with large fenced-in yards for them to play in. Their exercise should include mental stimulation as often as possible.

The Lakeland Terrier's double coat requires hand plucking and weekly brushing to remain clean of mats and tangle. You can also clip the coat but it will change the color and texture of their coat over time.

The Lakeland Terrier doesn't shed much, making them a hypoallergetic breed.

Lakeland Terriers are solidly built and narrow, with a unique rectangular head. Their coat is short, dense, and wiry, and is seen in black, gray, brown, fawn, and cream colorings. Their fur is often feathered around the face and legs, which accentuates their square shape.

The Lakeland Terrier was a working man's terrier used in British fox hunts. They originated in the Lake District of Northern England.
