How much would an Lakeland terrier cost?

Answer 1

A Lakeland Terrier sold as a pet with limited registration should cost between $800 and $1500. (A show prospect puppy will be considerably more.) They are expensive because the breed often has whelping difficulties, and the litters are small. But a Lakeland from a quality, hobby breeder (NOT a puppy mill) is likely to be very healthy and long-lived, with low vet bills. If you buy from a puppy mill or an online service, your initial price might be lower, but you are asking for a lifetime of hurt. Do your research about whether the breeder is legit. AT A MINIMUM, the breeder should welcome you to visit their home. You should be able to meet the puppies' mother. At least one, and preferably both, of the pups' parents (NOT distant ancestors) should be AKC champions.
