The amount of food also depends on your dog's size, age, build, metabolism, and activity level. Access to fresh, clean water is also important.

These dogs shed regularly. You need to brush their coats at least twice a week to reduce shedding and help keep its coat clean, shiny and healthy.

Their coat should be plucked two or three times each year by pulling the old hair out by hand. Make sure to also remove loose hair from the ear passages and trim excess hair between the pads of the feet. Regular professional grooming is also recommended.

These dogs love to be taken on long walks, jogging or running alongside you when you bicycle. In addition, they will enjoy running and playing off the leash at regular intervals in a safe area.

They are amazing with sports such as catch and agility skills activities.

These dogs are prone to eye problems. It is important to schedule them for a visit to a vet at least every six months to identify any health conditions early on and ensure that your dog is healthy and happy.

The Lakeland Terrier is an alert, lively, cheerful, loving and affectionate dog; this breed loves children, so they make great family pets.

This breed is very intelligent and independent-minded; they are quick to learn and easy to train though Lakelands can have difficulty focusing and maintaining their attention span for long periods.

Lakeland Terriers get along well with other dogs. Socialise them when they are still young with cats and other pets so they learn not to chase them when they are older.
