Lakeland Terriers
Originating in Britain, the Lakeland
Terrier was developed in the border county of Cumberland in the early 19th century.
This was a working terrier whose
job it was to kill foxes and other vermin that preyed on the farmers’ lambs
and poultry. Tough, brave and agile, the Lakeland is slender enough to follow
his quarry through narrow crevices. The breed is thought to be the product of
cross breeding of several terrier breeds and the Otterhound. The breed was originally
known by a variety of names depending on the area where it was bred - these include
Patterdale, Fell, Cumberland and Westmoreland. First specimens are said to have
been a rough-looking lot - a far cry from the stylish Lakie of today.
The present standard calls for a
withers’ height of 14-1/2”.; weight of 17 lbs. The coat is double,
hard, dense and comes in a variety of colours from wheaten to black. The Lakeland
is hardy and active and makes a good companion.

We are very proud of our Lakeland
Terriers. Our first Lakie “Danny”, Canadian, American
and Bermudian Champion Jamelyn’s Second Edition holds all the show records
for a Lakeland Terrier in Canada. He was Canada’s # 1 Dog All Breeds in
1989. Since Danny, many of our breeding have gone on to win Best In Shows and
Championships.
Wenrick Lakelands are bred to conform
to the Standard for the breed and have outstanding temperaments.
