Lakeland Terrier Puppies For Sale

Lakeland Terriers are ambitious and curious. They have a stubborn side but exude love and trust when they feel the same in return. Once a “Lakey” sets its mind to something, it’s hard to deter them. If you’re considering this breed, prepare for plenty of barking, digging, and endless entertainment. Full-grown, they typically weigh 15-17 pounds and stand 14-15 inches tall.

Lakeland Terriers are generally okay with older children who know how to handle dogs. Lakeys get along well with older children, but without training, they aren’t friendly toward other dogs (especially terriers). If your Lakeland Terrier wasn’t raised around other animals, be sure to introduce and socialize it with other pets before forcing them to live together. They're moderate barkers — they'll alert you when something's up but aren't excessive.

Lakeland Terriers are fans of having fun. They love daily exercise, walks, and training that keeps them stimulated. These dogs are smarter than they seem, so challenging them mentally and physically is the best way to tire them out and prevent issues at home. Overall, their exercise needs are high.

Lakeys have token terrier coats. Their sensitive skin is protected by a soft, fuzzy undercoat that sits under a wiry, thick, water-resistant outer layer. Their fur is usually curly or wavy and should be combed often. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance. Lakeland Terriers are considered hypoallergenic, which can be a plus for allergy sufferers.

Lakeland Terriers are best suited for apartments and smaller homes. Lakeys are comfortable in homes or apartments as long as they get enough exercise. They are moderately trainable with consistent effort.
