not be funny mate but i know of plenty of lakeland,s working at 12 month and having him out chasing rabbit,s allover wont help if you intend to use it as a

earthdog peg him out at a earth watching other dog,s work you might be surprised atb

[close but not close enough!]

i took the lamp out with it been pitch black at 4 oclock and every terrier ive had as been quick enough to chase and catch a rabbit and as for him been highly trained hes just does has hes told and has good recall

 

if you use the lakeland what it,s ment for you wouldnt need a lamp

[working diet]

IMO "working" terriers should be fed on good flesh, i feed chicken carcasses and chicken necks. I've seen terriers loose all their condition on small digs when fed on kibble, IMO they dehydrate on it and when working hard below ground it's not ideal.

 

Terriers that are at rest manage fine on kibble but i still give flesh every day or two.

Spot on mate the only thing i would add to this is some form of red meat or add vit B a couple of times a week if the dog is being worked really hard to lessen the chances of the dog becoming anemic as chicken doesnt have enough Bvitamins.

 

Never heard of the B vits before but i couldn't agree more about the red meat.

I only learned it a year or so ago from a good mate of minewho really knows his stuff when it comes to conditioning dogs.If your who i think you are you was chatting to a mate of mine at the midland last week who had just lost a very promising young dog that i had on my yard for a while through anemia.He was feeding nearly all chicken with kibble.

 

interesting ds will bear that in mind as mine have mainly chicken deffo a bit of a change in order

[working diet]

i feed mine chicken mince , wing,s carcass and tripe all with dried food biscuit,s get them from most abattoir,s cheap and good for the dog,s atb

[What a Lakeland should look like ?]

[What a Lakeland should look like ?]

Got a slight gripe about your topic's title though (not a jab at you)... ''what a lakeland should look like'' As that implies looks mean something..the lakeland terriermen I know personally wont consider looks, but do consider size, coat, and obviously ability first and foremost. The ammount of different looking terriers in their kennels shows that typey lookers are not the order of the day. Some of them tiny wee things, others with heads like aligators... what they look like today matters not. What they work like, matters a lot.

 

spot on the lakie,s are just like patt,s/ russels they come in different size,s colours etc work ability is most important factor

[Lakeland pups]

Another one of the same stuff from years ago.We still have that blood.
