About Lakeland Terrier Puppies, Breeders & DogFacts
The Lakeland Terrier, hailing from the rugged English Lake District, is a small, plucky member of the Terrier Group originally bred to pursue and dispatch foxes that preyed on Cumbrian sheep flocks. Standing roughly 13-15 inches tall and weighing 15-17 pounds, this compact, square built terrier sports a dense, wiry double coat in colors like blue, black, red, wheaten, and grizzle that requires weekly brushing plus hand stripping a few times a year to preserve texture. Bold, clever, and endlessly self assured, Lakelands need daily brisk walks, interactive play, and mental challenges to stay content. They suit active families who appreciate a spirited, affectionate companion with classic terrier tenacity.
