Bellplain Lakelands

Bellplain Lakelands breeds lakeland terriers in Chicago, Illinois, with roots in AKC conformation that stretch back to 1976. The program is run by Bart Desilva, whose decades of experience showing and breeding dogs across multiple breeds informs his approach to the lakeland terrier.

Desilva's entry into the breed began in 2019, when he acquired a red female from Glacieridge — a kennel whose principal served as a past president of the United States Lakeland Terrier Club — and worked with that mentorship to learn the nuances of the breed. That foundation bitch earned her AKC championship with four major wins in just eight shows, including a Best of Breed at the Terrier Club of Michigan, establishing the Bellplain line on a competitive footing from the start.

Those looking for lakeland terrier puppies in Illinois will find that Bellplain's program is oriented toward producing AKC show-quality dogs built on champion bloodlines. Chicago and the broader Midwest have relatively few lakeland terrier breeders, making Bellplain one of the more accessible options in the region for those drawn to this rare and spirited terrier.
