History

Lakeland Terrier History & Lineage

The Lakeland Terrier dates back to around the 18th century. These dogs are believed to be descended from Fell Terriers and the English Black and Tan. these spritely dogs were commonly used for vermin control on farms, as well as fox hunting in rough terrain. The Lakeland Terrier parent club was formed in 1921, and a new parent club was formed in 1932, after the former was disbanded. However, some debate remains over exactly when this breed was officially recognized, since the lakeland Terrier Club claims that the breed was recognized in 1928. Although, the UK Kennel Club suggests that the breed was actually recognized in 1921. Regardless, the breed remains in healthy numbers today. Thanks to a number of breeders and dog lovers who worked tirelessly to ensure these dogs would continue into the future, these dogs can continue bringing affection and joy with them wherever they go.
