History of the breed
Originally from Lakeland (or Lake District), the lake region located in the north-west of England , the Lakeland Terrier breed was developed from the 19th century with the successive contributions of several terriers, like the Bedlington Terrier, Dandie Dinmont Terrier, Border Terrier, then Fox Terrier and Airedale Terrier. He was appreciated for his enthusiasm and energy during the hunt for pests, but also for foxes. In 1928, the breed entered the English Kennel Club. The FCI recognized it definitively on October 14, 1954.
