Quick breed overview

The Lakeland Terrier is a tenacious, swift small terrier that was originally bred to pursue foxes through hills and into their holes. This working history still remains in their DNA, so a Lakeland Terrier living today still has the urge to chase everything that moves – no matter how big they are. They also tend to be aggressive with other dogs. It may be trained to be a bold guard dog as well as an active companion.
