Lakelands have a rough double coat that needs a gentle pull (called plucking). You can clip the top layer of dead fur, but this may cause the coat's color to fade. Once clipped, the coat turns out soft, loose curls. Weekly brushing will help prevent loose hairs and mats. The Lakeland Terrier is considered a non-shedding breed. For this reason, Lakelands may be a good option for those with allergies or anyone who can't bear the thought of dander.
