Welsh vs Lakeland

[Mr. Mxyzptlk 13]

I'm doing research and not finding a lot.Is there a real difference in Welsh and Lakeland or Irish Terriers?

And if so what?

I'm having a hard go learning this site and not a lot of luck when i try to search a topic.

Can anyone help? Thnx in advance

Only pictures.Other than some Lakelands from Linruff and McCoy back in the day.But Lakelands I have seen look a lot like Welsh at least in pix.

Is there a big difference in working?

Irish terrier and Lakeland a simple Google search would tell you they are alot different even in size. As bad as a lake can be for temperament the Irish terrier is the true devil of all, a pure brute and as stubborn as hell. My grandad had em I hated them as a kid I got more bites of the b*****d I'm still having night mares. I do remember them sticking into everything aswell as eachother. No wonder the terrierman grew apart from them nut jobs.

I wouldn't have enough experience with em but from my little experience I'd rather buy a elephant.

Don’t want to teach the lads to suck eggs but you asked the question... The Irish Terrier is taller (more leggier) than the welsh and lakey and only comes in red. The lakey comes in red and black & tan whilst the Welsh only comes in black & tan. The Irish and welsh are now merely show dogs in the uk, there is a few of them working in Eastern Europe, however you will still find some working lakeys about in the UK and Ire. I hope that helps in some small way...

All I can remember was Irish terriers were good at biting your feet under a 3 inch gap underneath a gate when walking to school.

Think I'll stick with my crazy Russells.

There a pensioner walks a pet Irish round here,never see it off the lead an soon as he sees you walking a dog towards them,he's telling his dog to behave,couldn't be dealing with that .
