COAT & GROOM TIPS
This is a double coated breed. Its outer coat should be firm and wiry, whereas the undercoat is close and soft, and less prominent than the outer coat. There are clipping alternatives for owners not requiring a show coat and trim. A neat working appearance is appropriate.

Lakeland Terrier owners are strongly recommended to use the services of a professional groomer for exceptional results whether they desire show grooming or non-show grooming. The "smart" look of a well-groomed Lakeland requires grooming and styling training. We strongly groomers not experienced with Lakeland's to use a how-to guide from the resources below. There is also a great link to the Ardynas web site for Grooming the Lakeland Terrier.
MORE GROOMING TIPS FOR PROFESSIONALS

Like many other mid to long coated breeds hair shed can and often does remain in the under coat until it is removed by proper brushing and combing. Hair shed not removed will, with time or immediately upon getting damp or wet, begin to "tangle" and "matt" whereby the hair shed both wraps and compresses around the existing hair coat. We recommend hair shed and matts be removed before bathing the dog, and that it only be hand fluff-dried with a professional force blow dryer. Your type of bathing and drying equipment will affect the way in which you groom the dog. Experienced groomers may choose to leave some of the hair shed and matt removal until after the bath, and apply special coat conditioning products to ease matt removal.

These books contain little or no breed specific grooming information. They do provide very good to excellent general breed information. Of course, having pictures of the breed is a great help when grooming the breed compared to having nothing else.
