Lakelands are among the oldest in Britain. The name is derived from the beautiful Lake District of northern England, where farmers once used small packs of dogs to rid their wealth of foxes raiding sheep. It was, of course, a very different kind of English fox compared to the glamorous cases on grand desi estates, with dozens of red-coated cavalry and huge packs of huge hoods. Lackland was first and foremost in the area of work worker.
Lackland has a beautiful, stiff double coat when plucked by hand. However, it is difficult to find a person to coat a coat (or "strip"). Shearing the coat will also suffice, but with it the color and texture of the coat will fade. Once the clip is loose, with loose curls. Hair does not grow out instead of being stuck in the coat, so Lackland is considered a non-shedding breed that is suitable for those who cannot tolerate a lot of dander. Brushing weekly will help remove loose hair and prevent mats.
Lakeland needs early socialization, with a good basic puppy training class as well as the class and trainer carefully selected. A long-time breeder note: “Avoid training classes taught by people who do not understand the Terror Mind. Lakelands are wicked smart; They learn quickly, and get bored quickly. Make the right thing easy and the wrong difficult, and reward good choices. “They learn fast but do not follow repetitive training - they are too smart to do the same tasks over and over again.
When properly raised, the Lacklands are not a hyperactive breed. A good, long walk or brisk run as well as opportunities to run safely in a dense area daily should keep them both physically and mentally fit. A long-time breeder notes: Physically, Lacklands can get enough exercise when living in a two-story house. Mentally, he needs to exercise a lot to become a saint. Running on short leads does not cut it. It seems necessary to walk all-out on a regular 20- or 30-foot line.
Lackland Terrier should perform well on high quality dog food, whether it is commercially manufactured or prepared with the supervision and approval of your veterinarian. Any diet should be appropriate for the age of the dog (puppy, adult or senior). Some dogs are at risk of being overweight, so watch your dog's calorie consumption and weight level. Treatment training can be an important aid, but giving too much can lead to obesity. Know which human foods are safe for dogs, and which are not. If you have any concerns about your dog's weight or diet, check with your vet. Clean, fresh water must be available at all times.
There are very few breed health conditions for the Lackland Terrier, and there are none that outweigh the very few incidents. As with all breeds, a Lakeland's ear should be regularly checked for signs of infection, and teeth should be brushed frequently, using toothpaste designed for dogs.
