Lakeland Terriers are so cool so why don't you have a look at some facts about them:
#1. "The Lakeland Terrier is small and sturdy."
#2. "It is squarely proportioned much like the Welsh Terrier, but smaller."
#3. "Its body is deep and narrow and his head is balanced and rectangular."
#4. "The nose is black and can be liver colored on liver dogs."
#5. "The ears are small and V-shaped folding over."
#6. "The eyes are moderately small with an oval outline. Eye color comes in black, brown, or dark hazel."
#7. "The front legs are strong and straight when viewed from the front."
#8. "The teeth are relatively large and meet in a level, edge to edge or a slightly overlapping scissors bite."
#9. "The Lakeland Terrier has a double coat. The outer coat is hard and wiry in texture and the undercoat is close to the skin and soft. The hair is usually cut so the hair is longer on the muzzle and legs. Coat colors come in solid blue, black, liver, red, and wheaten. It also comes in saddle markings where a second color covers the back of the neck, back, sides and up the tail. Saddle colors may be blue, black, liver, or varying shades of grizzle. Puppies are often born black and change coloring as they grow. The tail is set high and generally docked."
#10. "The Lakeland Terrier is an alert, lively, cheerful, loving and affectionate dog."
#11. "This breed loves children."
#12. "Confident and brave, they need unyielding training along with a firm, consistent, confident pack leader."
#13. "They like to dig and may be a barker, and need to be told to hush if it becomes obsessive."
#14. "This breed may be difficult to housebreak, but tend to learn quite easily otherwise."
#15. "Make sure that the training is full of variety and offers the dog a challenge. You will find the dog quickly learns what you want from him."
#16. "The Lakeland Terrier gets along well with other dogs. Socialize them when they are still young with cats and other animals so they do not chase them when they are older."
#17. "Dogs who are allowed to take over the home will become feisty, willful, determined, and will tend to guard their toys and food. They may become unsure around strangers. They may also become dog aggressive, and bark obsessively, as they try and rule those around them. These are NOT Lakeland Terrier traits, but rather human induced traits, brought on by the lack of leadership from the people around them."
#18. "In other words, do not be a meek owner, be a real pack leader."
#19. "Height: Not above 14½ inches (36.8 cm.)"
#20. "Weight: Dogs 17 pounds (7.7 kg.)
Bitches 15 pounds (6.8 kg.)"
#21. "Generally healthy."
#22. "The Lakeland Terrier is good for apartment life. It is very active indoors and will do all right without a yard."
#23. "They need to be taken on a daily, brisk, long walk, jog or run alongside you when you bicycle. While out on the walk the dog must be made to heel beside or behind the person holding the lead, as in a dog's mind the leader leads the way, and that leader needs to be the human. In addition, they will enjoy running and playing off the leash at regular intervals in a safe area. They are certainly suitable for sports activities such as catch and agility skills."
#24. "Life Expectancy: About 10-12 years. Some as much as 16 years."
