Bellplain
Meet the breeder
I'm Bart D., the breeder behind Bellplain located in Chicago, IL. I offer quality Lakeland Terriers out of AKC Champion parents. I produce dogs for the ring as well as great pets, and I breed with a focus on health, temperament, and structure. I am passionate about Lakeland Terriers, and my love for these dogs shines through in every aspect of my breeding program.
Q. & A. with Bart
Why did you start breeding?
I have been showing dogs in AKC Conformation and breeding on a small scale off and on since 1976. I started with Standard Poodles, then Maltese and Miniature Poodles. In 2019 I fell in love with the Lakeland Terrier with the purchase of Ch. Glacieridge Strictly Superstition at 8 weeks of age. It's been a wonderful journey.What makes your program special?
Lakeland Terriers are a rare breed, and I believe they are the best-kept secret in dogs. They are happy, playful, and very loveable, and they are just the right size for most people. They are equally at home in the country or in the city, and they are very brave for their size. Their coats are wiry if hand-stripped, but they can be clipped as well. In either case, they don't require very frequent brushing or bathing. These truly are the greatest dogs!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include wheaten, red grizzle, red, grizzle and tan, blue and tan, blue, black and tan, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
