I've read and re-read this thred and as far as i'm concerned the only type I see or class as a Lakeland Terrier, working or not, are those dogs that are black an tan.

I don't care if it was born out of 100 years of black and tan breeding, nor born in Cumbria, if it ain't B&T, it ain't a Lakeland. :nono: Call it the feck whatever you want but thats the truth. :yes:

No different than the fact that if it ain't white, it ain't a Russell.... Simples!

 

Oh yer, sorry to piss on anyone's chips but there are some fine examples of working terriers on view on this thred, of all types and colours, thanks for sharing. :victory:

:laugh: Dixie, i'm so sad that the Kennel Club, in all it's majesty, don't agree with me.... Not many do..!

 

But I know this, i've never, in 30 years looked at any terrier that ain't black an tan and called it a Lakie.... Seen a red an called it a red or fell, seen a chocolate and called it liver, as it used to be before the shecklel but should that colour have the title of its type..? Seen them whites and said they are all Russells and long should they be so.... Oh, an seen the blacks and called them whatever I was thinking at the time, Fell, Patterdale, fit to burn on occasion!

Riddle me this... As with the KC how often has a none B&T ever made a big show champion...?

We define type by what we see and colour is all....

:D

Without wishing to be contentious, wasn't russell's foundation bitch 'trump' mated to his father's black and tan terrier? A few black and tan russells about down my way years ago, a mate had a belting smooth black and tan russell dog pup, proper black and tan like a doberman, in 1978, same year as I got my russell bitch, also smooth but white with a tan head.

Neither were worked to fox, but were both really good ratting dogs and general good fun workers/bushers :thumbs:

sorry Bosun got to disagree you can't or shouldn't define a terrier by its " colour " . That's where show people go wrong by trying to define what a terrier should look like and what its colour should be. I know you know this already mate but for me a terrier should only be defined by its work !
