Lakeland Terrier

Bessie and Bullseye – 7 year old male and female Lakeland Terrier and Patterdale Terrier cross Jack Russell Terrier

Homing Requirements: Bessie and Bullseye are a devoted couple. Their family will need to be empathetic to the fact they haven’t lived in a house before and be prepared to induct and instruct them. They need their own secure garden to optimise housetraining within and exit management as with any terrier. Potential owners should be financially able to support 2 dogs.

Bessie

Their Story: Bessie’s owner got her at the age of 2 1/2. She had a litter of puppies. Soon after her owners acquired Bullseye as a puppy and he grew up with her, she accepted him as if her own. They have lived out in a small garden in a kennel with a run. They have been around a baby, now a toddler, but mainly kept outside and away from the family. We have neutered, vax’d and chipped them and need to take them into kennels on the 22nd May as their landlady is evicting them!

Bullseye

Advert: Bessie and Bullseye are a very close couple. They appear self-contained emotionally as terriers do, but weave back towards each other, usually sealed with Bullseye licking Bessie’s muzzle. They seem very adaptable and weren’t phased by meeting ducks and swans in a local park. They met dogs off lead quite well: Bullseye a little excited but managed well and soon settled. They will need time to adjust to formal walks but oh how they will enjoy the stimulation. Having both lived outside they should easily come inside with an astute focus on housetraining and allowances made as they develop a sense of home rules and ‘place’. They are both affectionate and their energy levels are quite calm for terriers.

Bessie a black and tan wire-coated small terrier. Her breed type is a Fell terrier but referred to as a ‘Working’ Lakeland. Bullseye is a Patterdale cross Jack Russell again with a wire coat but larger. Both are overweight and a little out of condition. They have lacked an active lifestyle. Neither are barky. If you have had 2 dogs before or are looking to build to two eventually…why not take advantage of a harmoniously devoted couple.
