From its beginnings hunting predators of livestock in the British countryside, the Lakeland terrier developed in the Lake District of England. The author argues that although it is now a distinct show variety, the dog should retain its traditional working skills. Notable dogs and breeders, such as the legendary Bill Irving, are discussed.
