Lakeland Terrier Breeders, VIC

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

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.

We’re thrilled to announce we have a confirmed litter whelped on the 8th of October. This will be our last litter until at least 2026. These puppies will have a mix of low to moderate drive and will be phenomenal family pets. At Whimsily, our aims are to breed for health, temperament and to preserve the beautiful English Setter breed. Our dogs are thoroughly health tested, including hip scores, DNA testing and BAER testing. Our puppies are raised with Puppy Culture to help them reach their full potential as balanced, resilient future dogs. They’ve been exposed to baths, blow drying, clippers and regular nail trims to set them up for grooming in the future. Whimsily puppies come home with: - Australian National Kennel Council (ANKC) Pedigree - Microchipped - Wormed - Their first two vaccinations - BAER (hearing) tested - Lifetime support from us! - A puppy pack with food, grooming tools and an information booklet. Puppies come registered with Dogs Victoria on the limited registry, which means they cannot be bred from or shown. Owners are required to sign a contract that any puppy on the limited registry will not be bred from. When show-quality puppies are available, expressions of interest will be taken from genuine show people interested in exhibiting. If you believe you can offer a home to one of our puppies, all inquiries are welcome through our Facebook (Whimsily English Setters) or RightPaw.

We have a litter that was born in October from our gorgeous Sarah Jayne (Australian Champion Orwin Sarah Jayne) All our babies are raised in our lounge amongst all the normal household noises and activity. All our dogs are part of our family and are not kept in kennels. All breeding dogs are hip and elbow xrayed, Baer tested (hearing) DNA tested and all breeding dogs are clear of NCL (Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis 8) and rcd4-PRA (late onset) We have 2 female puppies available.
