The Lakeland Terrier is named for the Lake District of England also known as Lakeland. Before he was called the Lakeland Terrier, he was known by many different names, including the Fell, Cumberland, Westmoreland and Patterdale Terrier. The Fell Terrier dates back to the 1700s. The breed was originally developed to hunt the foxes that were killing farmers' sheep. The breed was recognised by the UK Kennel Club in 1921.
The Kennel Club of the UK lists Lakeland Terriers as a threatened native breed.
Famous owners of Lakeland Terriers are Neil Tennant and Bill Cosby.
FUN FACTS:
A Lakeland Terrier named Waffle lives in Newton Abbot, England and has a collection of more than 1,000 balls that she started accumulating as a puppy. Some of the balls are almost as big as she is and she howls whenever her owner tries to get rid of any of them
.
There have only been 2 dogs that have ever won Best in Show at both the Crufts Dog Show in England and the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in New York - the 2 biggest dog shows in the world. One of those winners was a Lakeland Terrier named Stingray of Derryabah, who took both titles in 1967!
The Lakeland Terrier is Britain's 93rd most popular dog.
