	The Lakeland Terrier Ref: B51 Terriers have existed in the British Isles for hundreds of years, being used as earth dogs in the hunting of predators of livestock. There have always been variations in type of terrier with distinct dogs appearing in different regions. Over the years these have developed into individual breeds - such as the Dandie Dinmont in the Scottish Borders, the West Highland White in the Western Highlands and the Lakeland in the Lake District of England. In this book the author traces the development of the breed and writes about both notable dogs and notable breeders - such as the legendary Bill Irving. He writes about how the dogs works, their strengths and their weaknesses and records the exploits of dogs famous throughout the breed. The development of a distinct show variety are discussed and the author argues strongly for the retention of the Lakeland's traditional working skills. This book gives anyone interested in the history and development of the Lakeland a fascinating introduction to the breed. The Author Sean Frain is the author of a number of books including The Patterdale Terrier and The Traditional Working Terrier and is a regular contribuor to The Countryman's Weekly.
