The Lakeland Terrier is a small and sturdy terrier that’s squarely proportioned much like the Welsh Terrier, but smaller. They were originally bred to hunt the foxes that preyed on sheep during the lambing season in Northern England’s Lake District. Today’s Lakies, as these lively, feisty little dogs are nicknamed, are affectionate, friendly, and self-confident.
In this video, we are counting down the top 10 facts about the Lakeland Terrier.
We’d like to thank all the original Lakeland owners who let us use their images/clips in the video.

Interesting
One word of advice. I own an Airedale Terriër and Lakeland Terriër. Never ever combine a Lakeland Terriër with a larger more dominant dog breed. Lakeland Terriers are very very dominant. They don't back down and never give up. Which is incredible really but can be fatal against larger dogs. They are extremely intelligent, very social and a absolute family dog. They always want to be with you and have their eyes on you. My Airedale is one big teddy bear which always minds his own business. Even tho he's 5 years older, over 20kgs more in weight he's not the boss in the house.
Problem solving abilities???? Mine's as thick as two short planks
You forgot to say ,owning a lakeland is like living with a mountain goat 🤣
I have a fox terrier which has a lot of similar traits. ‘Selective deafness’ is a hilarious way to describe such a frustrating trait 😂
