History:

is one of the oldest working slogans and is still known today. Before the establishment or official records, the lakeside terrier was bred and trained to work in the lake areas of England, and this kind of work ability is very strong. The name "lakeside" is actually a modern name, called Patterdale Terrier in ancient times.

Lakeland Mountain farmers have been developing hunting with hounds and terriers, whose job is to prevent Fox and sea otter. Breeding of dogs prevailed there, never a puppy was killed, it was popular to send dogs among friends and hunters, and the dogs were trained to be the best laborers and preserved in tradition.

The great thing about this native terrier is the underground long-range hunting. In 1871, Lord lonsdale was recorded as having a lakeside terrier crawling under a rock for more than 7 meters to track a sea otter. To rescue the Lakeside Terrier, a massive excavation was necessary. Finally, after 3 days of work, the dog was found and rescued, and no other dog has had a tougher experience. This type of dog breaks the blockade under the ground for 10 to 12 days, and is still alive after being rescued. Not possible with other breeds.

Around 1896, the criteria for distinguishing the Lakeside Terrier from other similar-looking terriers (such as the Spitz and Spitz) were made at agricultural exhibitions throughout the Great Lakes region. There is great interest in this ancient breed, and the owner of the hound or other experienced hunter is its judge. At that time, there were mainly blue-gray, dark-brown, red or khaki and a small amount of white lakeside terriers. Later, the classification of color was replaced, and it was mainly divided into two categories: white and variegated. In conclusion, workability is always an aspect to consider.

White lakeside terriers generally work with otter hounds because many times hounds are excited to drive otters from under tree roots or drains and darker terriers toss them in mud. drag out.

Experienced terrier breeders believe that the distant ancestor of the Lakeside Terrier is somewhat similar to the ancestor of the terrier. In fact, there was clear evidence that the Lakeside Terrier was closely related to what was later considered a descendant of the Burlington Terrier.
