Lakeland Terrier -
|
to hunt vermin in the rugged shale mountains of the Lake District of northern England.
They originated in the Lake District of England.
They are very similar to the Welsh Terrier in overall look.
His attitude is happy, friendly, and self-confident, but not overly aggressive. He is always alert and ready to go.
He is a small, workmanlike dog of square, sturdy build. His body is deep and relatively narrow, which allows him to squeeze into rocky dens.

He has sufficient length of leg under him to cover rough ground easily. His neck is long, leading smoothly into high withers and a short topline ending in a high tail set.
The Lakeland is a hardy working dog known for his tenacity and good humor, and is able to adapt to most living conditions in the city or the country.
Their bold, confident, and friendly disposition makes it a great companion and the Lakeland's coat needs brushing weekly and shaping every few months.
