Background and classification

Developed for fox hunting among rocks in Britain’s Lake District, it needed a body able to negotiate narrow places and legs capable of reaching distant working ground.

[1]

Appearance and coat

Compact and balanced, it has a neat working outline. Compared with the similar Welsh Terrier, both form and its broader colour range provide useful distinctions.

Coat and comparisons

Colours include black-and-tan, blue-and-tan, red, wheaten, red grizzle, liver, blue and black. Small white patches on feet or chest are tolerated though undesirable; self and two-colour coats can be compared.
