About the Lakeland Terrier |
 |
History
The Lakeland Terrier originates from the Lake District in Cumbria; it is thought to have been developed by cross-breeding a number of other terriers including the Old English Black, the Tan Terrier and the Dandie Dinmont.
The Lakeland Terrier was known under various names, such as the Patterdale, the Fell, and the Cumberland Terrier, depending upon the region in which it lived. It wasn't until 1923 that the Lakeland Terrier became a standardized dog throughout all regions.
The Lakeland was originally bred to hunt down vermin such as badgers, otters, foxes and martens.
The Lakeland Terrier as a pet
The Lakeland Terrier is a very strong willed dog. It has a loud bark and makes an excellent guard dog, although it is not good with other dogs. It can be very stubborn and requires a patient owner. It requires regular exercise and makes a good companion. |

Grooming your Lakeland Terrier
Grooming requirements: Requires eyebrows trimming diagonally to expose the eyes. The beard should be stripped with a stripping knife, starting from the eye and working forward, it should then be swept forward and squared off. The hair on the foreface should also be swept forward. Scissoring should be used on the muzzle, leaving enough undercoat to pad the face, and on the forelegs by carefully snipping into the coat. When brushing the coat use a bristle brush followed by a steel, wide tooth comb.
Tools required:
Medium size slicker brush, stripping knife, wide tooth comb and scissors
