Lakeland Terrier Breeders

Kineta Lakelands are bred to be outstanding examples of the breed. Established in 1990 in Canada, my successful breeding program came "down under" in 2002. Recognised in showrings in Canada, America, and now Australia - Kineta Lakelands have been awarded by judges from all over the world. My small, selective breeding program boasts multiple Canadian, American, and Australian Champions and Supreme Champions that have won numerous Best in Show, Best Exhibit in Group, and Best in Specialty Show awards. Since 2002, Kineta Lakeland Terriers have been ranked among the best Terriers in Australia. However, it's their winning attitude that makes them ideal family companions. Outgoing, confident, and cheeky, Lakelands possess an irresistable charisma. My Lakelands are available to approved homes on a non-breeding agreement. They come with a health guarantee and a money back satisfaction guarantee.

We are experienced breeders/exhibitors combining a wealth of knowledge which we put back into our dogs, successful in the show ring, and adoring our loving companions at home on the farm. Finding the best companion for you can take time, at Upinair Lakelands we match puppies to their homes, so you can have peace of mind in the knowledge that your puppy is selected to suit your home family and lifestyle. We welcome Australias First TRUE BLUE Lakeland Import from Finland HeJW-12 JV-12 LVV-13 TLNW-13 BIG LADY'S MICRO-DRAGONHEAD (IMP FIN)

I have been showing and breeding Lakelands for over 30 years and within that, made up many Champions and Supreme titled dogs. I have imported dogs from Rayfos and the famous Oregill kennels.Oregill Dark Knight (Samuel) was the first Black Lakeland in Australia. Since importing Samuel in 2010 I have bred the first BLUE as well as BLACK Lakelands in Australia.

We originated in English Setters in 1975 and received many accolades including #1 Show dog Albreeds 4 times with 3 different dogs, winning more Australian English Setter Specialties, Allbreed Best in Shows and Royal show Challenges that any other in the breed in Australian history. We now have Lakeland Terriers and no longer breed English Setters; we have imported Lakeland’s from top UK and European bloodlines. Our Lakeland’s are well performed in the show ring and have taken out prestigious awards such as Best Terrier in Group at the Melbourne Royal Show and Best in Show awards at all breed shows. We have been awarded Top Lakeland in Australia in 2017, 2018 and 2019. We are boutique breeders and occasionally breed for ourselves and may sometimes have puppies available should we do so. At this time we do not have any Lakeland Terriers for sale.

Lakelands are busy little creatures with an inquisitive mind. You need to have a fully fenced yard yard is a must as they are adventure seekers who crave companionship especially human. There are no known genetic health conditions in the breed , a few minor issues such as a incorrect tail set ( carried up over their back instead of straight) and misaligned teeth ( correct bite is a scissor) pop up occasionally which only affect the dogs show ability not their health. If they get bored they will seek and destroy and bad habits are quick to form and hard to break. Most lakelands do not get on with cats or small furry critters as they have been bred as a prey dog to hunt vermin, therefore they will see these as their natural job. Although Digby Dog on Instagram ( one of my pups) lives very happily with 20 year old Moses the cat. They are also free thinkers, and problem solvers this also comes from the breeding as they had to hunt independently. Just drop me a line if you think you would want one of these heart stealers in your life. Pups come with a beginner crate, puppy pack, registered with the Kennel club and vet check and jabs. They normally leave to their forever home at 10-12 weeks.

We are a small kennel located regional Victoria. Although New to showing Lakeland terriers, were having great success with our young stock.
