Lakeland Terrier
This busy dog is playful and entertaining. It may be wary of strangers and other pets.
Breed Overview
These terriers originated in England as farmers' helpers to hunt foxes and keep them away from sheep herds. Lakeland Terriers got their name from England's Lake District. They are spunky, active, busy, friendly, and intelligent. They are reserved with strangers and other dogs, but with socialization from puppyhood, they will do well with other pets. With patience and enough exercise, they can be great entertaining pets. They make good city dogs and are also a good pet for people who enjoy the outdoors. These terriers require moderate exercise daily, but should be kept on a leash when out on walks due to their inquisitive nature. Their coat needs weekly combing and trimming every once in a while.
