Lakeland Terrier

Also known as the Pettendale Terrier, it originated in England in the 18th century and was developed in the Lakeside region of northern England by crossing the Bedlington Terrier with the Old English Gundog Terrier. Originally there were a number of branches, which were grouped together in 1912. It is a double coat, with a stiff outer layer and a softer undercoat that clings to the surface of the skin. The appearance of the Lakeside Terrier is neat and refined. The coats on the top of the head, both ears, forehead, shoulders and back of the tail are short and smooth. The coat on the trunk is longer 1.3 to 2.5 cm and may be wavy or straight. The trim hairs on the face and legs are longer and should be groomed frequently, and their texture is brittle. The legs are cylindrical in shape. The face coat is traditionally trimmed and the head hair may be as long as the eye line, with the head viewed at a right angle from any angle. The eyes are quite pronounced when viewed from the front, showing the unique terrier phenotype of the Lakeside Terrier.

Available in a variety of colors, all colors are recognized. The specific ones are blue, black, reddish brown, red and earthy yellow. In dogs marked with a saddle, there are saddle-like black markings on the carapace covering the back of the neck, back, sides of the tail and upper side, and the saddle may be blue, black, reddish-brown or gray in color. The color of the dog (head, throat, shoulders and feet) is earthy yellow or golden fawn. Miscellaneous colors are red or upper yellow mixed with varying proportions of black, blue, or reddish brown.

The walk is straight forward. When coming and going, the legs are straight and the feet are not abducted or retracted, the elbows are against the chest wall, the hocks are taut, and the body tends to center of gravity a little when it moves quickly. However, this does not interfere with movement. The basic form is so similar to the Fox Terrier that many people can't tell the difference, and both breeds were born in England, except for the Lakeside Terrier which is a little more daring, active and confident compared to the Fox Terrier.

Typical characteristics are bold, happy, friendly, confident, and a strutting demeanor. Timidity is a major drawback in adult dogs. Conversely, dogs that are overly aggressive are less so. The typical Lakeside Terrier should be bold, fast and friendly, and confident. They have an indomitable spirit and a tough coat that can endure even the heaviest rain or cold weather. They are sturdy, gentle and lively, and easy to get close to. He is confident and looks like the king of a party.

Cheerful and friendly to humans. Full of self-confidence, but weak in aggression. Very alert and ready to go at all times. The soft gait appears very graceful with a strutting attitude. In addition to being indomitable and brave, the Lakeside Terrier has an attractive and quiet personality. The typical Lakeside Terrier should be bold, quick and friendly, and confident. Timidity, especially great timidity, is a serious defect for the adult Lakeside, and conversely, a strong tendency toward aggression is also a serious defect.
