This Comprehensive Owners Guide to the Lakeland Terrier serves as a complete introduction to this unique British terrier breed known for its prowess at seeking both quarry and comedy. The Lakey, as the breed is affectionately known, is a freethinking little devil, smaller than most of the other longlegged terriers and more easygoing. The Lakeland Terrier, named for the Lake District in Britain, is unspoiled compared to many of his more popular earthdog brethren, and yet he is equally as bold, daring, and fearless as the larger Airedale, Irish, and Welsh Terriers.Written by Patricia Peters, wellknown dog illustrator and Lakeland Terrier breeder of the famed Kilfel Kennels, this Special Limited Edition offers an opening chapter on the history of the breed, from its beginnings in the Lake District to its coming to the United States in the 1920s.

In all, there are over 135 photographs in this compact, useful, and entertaining volume. The authors advice on obedience training the Lakeland Terrier, a bright and industrious breed that can pose a challenge to novice owners, will help readers better mold and train their dogs into the wellbehaved canine citizens.
