Lakeland Terriers are known for their affectionate and friendly ways. They get on very well with hoomans as well as children and other dogs. They can sometimes be quite feisty which makes them a little harder to train, so they're probably not the best breed for a first-time owner. Once trained properly, they make fantastic family pets and their comical ways make people quickly fall in love with them! Although small, their tendency to be fairly vocal may rule out being able to live in an apartment (unless you have sound-proof walls!). These dogs require a fair amount of grooming due to their double coats, however, for the right family, they make excellent pets.

Lakelands are among the oldest of Britain’s terriers. The name derives from the beautiful Lake District in northern England, where once upon a time, farmers used small packs of dogs to rid their property of foxes that raided sheepfolds. This, of course, was a very different kind of English foxhunt than the glamorous affairs on grand country estates, with dozens of red-coated equestrians and huge packs of bawling hounds. The Lakeland was first and foremost a workingman’s terrier.
