Bertie the Legendary Lakeland 😍

Well now you cheeky thing there’s a leading question if ever there was one ……….. I am yes but I am spoken for by the most delectable Mollie Apso. (Have you seen her she is just gorgeous!) We haven’t met as yet but we do speak daily on Twitter.

I am extremely happy chap, I tend to love everyone and everything (unless I’m on my lead). Being a Lakeland Terrier very little phases me, I am extremely adaptable to all situations. As I was pushed to start work at an early age (10 weeks) I am used to travel and being in different environments and tricky situations. As a hound at home I am very very easy to live with I have heard the phrase ‘a total joy’ whispered.

• Do your stunning good looks create problems for you or have you got used to it?

Now that’s an interesting question as I really wouldn’t say that I have particularly good looks. I’m just a very average Lakeland Terrier……… If you want to see good looks you must meet my pals Archie Lakeland or Chuck Bartholomew Bennett. However i should add that I do feature heavily in the Lakeland Terrier Club 2019 Calendar which can be purchased on line atwww.lakelandterrierclub.org.uk

It has at times been mentioned that trouble is my middle name but I’m not sure that we should go in to it in too much detail. There was of course the incident where I fell 40 feet down a cliff on Leckhampton Hill, then the time I manged to get covered in mud from head to toe in the meadow.

I love humans and little humans if they let me get to know them my way. I like to investigate slowly and carefully taking in all off their smells poking them lots with my nose and giving them a bit of a lick, but if they are the sort that come straight in with a hand to my face there is a risk of a nibble . If I’m happy with them they can do anything to me, pull my tail, chase me, pick me up and I love to play.

Now that’s easy …………. CO-OP Cocktail Sausages

So you’ve noticed?! Well my passion is to chase pals who chase balls or just chase pals ……….. so there you have it, it’s the best work out an dog can have!

Cats ……. Love them!

I actually rather like the postman at home, I do enjoy a little grrrrrr at him now and then. However the Postman at work is a different beast, he comes roaring in the yard in his van not a care in the world so I have been known to give chase and give him a harsh peace of my mind.

Unfortunately I hurt my paw while playing with a Wheaten Pal in the park and had to have a toe removed at the bottom knuckle. It’s been a tough few days but with the help of my lovely Vet Alison of Vets on the Park in Cheltenham, the support of my amazing Twitter Pals and the help of a few colourful bandages it’s on the mend. I should be back to full zooming within the next three weeks

Now wherever did you get that information from I wonder, is there a snitch in the camp?! I need very little grooming, a brush three or four times a week is fine which takes less than 5 minutes a go. I have double coat and I don’t moult so I am a very very low maintenance young man. However I have been known to carry out a little styling work on my beard and moustache just to stay ‘on trend’.

HAPPY, NAUGHTY, TOUGH

Now there’s an interesting question ………. I have lots of hobbies, canoeing, camping, eating out but as I mentioned earlier my one real passion in life is chasing which always comes at some point within my main hobby of going for walks. I do very much enjoy going away for a little weekend minibreak at a nice dog friendly hotel such as Southsands in Salcombe, sitting in the bar relaxing or running on the beach. I also very much enjoy spending time with my pals there is nothing better than taking a ride south to meet up with my bestest pal Archie Lakeland for a day of chase, hose and a little brunch in the garden. i am also partial to a little writing none fiction of course you can find a great article written jointly with my bestest pal Archie Lakeland in the Lakeland Terrier Club 2018 Year Book

Oh Dogs trust and Terrier SOS! I spend my pawket money to sponsor less unfortunate dogs then myself!

Well there we go folks the legendary Bertie Lakeland!What a great sport.
