Welcome to the United States Lakeland Terrier Club

A bold, zesty “big dog in a small package,” the Lakeland Terrier, named for the Lake District of his native England, was once a farmer’s dog bred to work in packs on sheep-stealing foxes. The Lakie’s coat is hard, wiry, and low-shedding. Our members are dedicated to the responsible breeding and ownership of the Lakeland Terrier. We advance and protect the interests of the breed through education, research, events, and Lakeland Terrier Rescue.

The Members Of The United States Lakeland Terrier Club recognize:

• Our responsibility to preserve and protect the breed.
• The need to provide guidance and education of judges, breeders and the public for the betterment of the Lakeland Terrier breed.
• The need to conduct sanctioned and licensed Specialty Shows under the rules of the American Kennel Club.
• The fate, integrity, quality, reputation and future of the Lakeland Terrier is the responsibility of the members of our club, as owners, exhibitors and breeders.

We welcome you to join a special community, where you can develop friendships with those that proudly share your passion for the breed.
