The Lakeland Terrier is quite close in appearance to the Welsh Terrier, but the Lakeland comes in a wider variety of colours. One advantage of the Lakeland terrier breed is the fact that it is a dog breed with minimal hair shedding.
The Lakeland was devleoped in Cumbria and Westmoreland – the English Lake District – to catch foxes that would otherwise kill young lambs. Despite this breed characteristic, the Lakeland Terrier is also a gentle and loving pet. These are energetic dogs, though – like most Terriers they cannot be trusted off-leash. They will take off, regardless of your frantic shouts, after anything that runs.
Lakeland terriers have a varied appearance. Some are like the handsome show dog pictured above, and others have the rather unkempt look of the little chap pictured on the right. At least this is not a dog breed that tends to put on weight so you will not be likely to need diet pills for a Lakeland Terrier. There are a good number of Lakeland Terriers available for adoption through animal rescue charities, especially those devoted to terriers.
Hi, My husband and I would like to adapt a female terrier 1.5 years or younger. We recently relocated to to Bluffton, SC after 20 plus years in the mountain of Colorado. We living is a 2600 square foot space with access to the “great” outdoors and a wonderful doggey park. So our home is prepared for a new addition.
On a personal level, John and I have been dog owners for most of our 32 year marriage. It has always been our policy to adapt from shelters or rescue missions. In the past we have adored Cindy, golden retriever, Panda, cocker spaniel, Jessie, flat haired retriever and Kelly, lab mix. We are more than aware of the financial requirements of owning a dog since several of our girls has special medical needs. We offer a warm loving home. With lots of opportunity for our new addition to run, play or just curl up for hugs and kisses. I hope that you can help us find a puppy that needs a great home with a mature couple ready to shower a new friend with lots of love and attention. We live in South Carolina but are willing to travel a reasonable distance for a puppy that needs a good home.
Thank you for your help. I hope to hear from you by email anne1625int@gmail.com
