Summary

About Lakeland Terrier
Compact, hardy terrier from England’s Lake District, bred to hunt foxes over rough ground. Agile, confident and lively, yet affectionate at home. Needs regular hand‑stripped coat care, daily exercise, mental stimulation and early socialization; makes an alert, polite watchdog.
About East European Shepherd
The East European Shepherd is a large, robust working dog from the former Soviet Union, resembling a bigger, squarer German Shepherd. Loyal and protective, it needs firm, fair training, early socialisation, and plenty of structured mental and physical exercise.
