You will find further information below and the form to complete if you are considering owning a Lucas Terrier - puppy or adult (available through rehoming).

Please note: your form will be valid for six months after which you will need to reapply.

Lucas Terriers are in great demand and only a small number of litters are produced every year. Litter sizes vary, but the average is three. There are no professional breeders dedicated to Lucas Terriers alone - All our breeders are private individuals, so whether or not they breed is entirely up to them. Consequently, potential owners need to understand that it can be a long wait from joining the list to owning your own Lucas Terrier. Lucas Terriers are exceptionally affectionate, intelligent and good-natured, and we have owners who range in age from young to, well, very old!

Don’t be put off joining the list – breeders will choose to whom they sell their puppies so it isn’t necessarily a matter of moving to the top. The needs of the puppy are paramount, and so this is the over-riding consideration when breeders choose suitable homes from the list. We are aware that you may tire of waiting and find another dog of a different breed, so we will email you after 6 months asking you to confirm your requirement.

REHOMING
Very rarely adult Lucas Terriers do become available, for all sorts of reasons. Owners may be moving abroad, or they may be moving into and environment not best suited for dogs, or some other dynamic in the home may have changed. Whatever it is, the dog needs a new home – and perhaps quite quickly too.

If you are interested to take on an adult Lucas Terrier please let us know. As with puppies, these cannot be produced to order so please be patient. It will be very good to know that you are available, and a Lucas Terrier lover, should the opportunity arise.

We suggest you provide as much information in the form to allow breeders gauge an understanding of the type of home you are able to offer. You will receive an instant online confirmation that your form has been sent and within a few days you will receive a email confirmation with more details of how the list works from the LTC puppy coordinator. Please be aware that your details will be passed at the appropriate time to any Lucas Terrier Club member who is expecting a litter. They may contact you using the details you have supplied.

If your plans change and you no longer want a Lucas Terrier please email puppies@lucasterrierclub.co.uk and your name will be removed from the list. The Puppy Seekers' List is just that - a list. There is no priority order, and breeders only use it if they wish.

We have a large number of eager people on the Puppy Seekers' List, all competing for a limited number of puppies (and some, inevitably, go to friends and family of breeders).

The Club offers one year free membership for new puppy owners. Details are sent along with the puppy registration documents. If you are offered a Lucas Terrier you are strongly advised to check with the Club that it comes from an approved litter – before purchasing.
