Lakeland Terrier

Self-confident and bold, with a keen expression, these compact dogs move very fast. Developed to run with packs of hounds over the steep and rocky terrain of the Lake District, the Lakeland Terrier is very sure-footed, agile, and full of stamina.

Black and tan is the most common color for Lakeland Terriers, but there is a black variety also. It disappeared in Britain, but Scandinavian breeders have reintroduced it into the population.
