The prestigious Orthopedic Foundation For Animals (OFA) is now formally recognizing the Lucas Terrier as a breed & is updating their website to reflect so.

All of our breeding stock is required to be tested in advance of breeding by the OFA for PLL as part of our Club's commitment to the long-term health of the Lucas Terrier breed.

Penn State Veterinary School of medicine, one of the most prestigious veterinarian schools in the country, now formally recognizes the Lucas Terrier as a breed for their C-BARQ Program.

The C-BARQ (or Canine Behavioral Assessment and Research Questionnaire) is designed to provide dog owners and professionals with standardized evaluations of canine temperament and behavior. The C-BARQ was developed by researchers at the Center for the Interaction of Animals and Society of the University of Pennsylvania, and is currently the only behavioral assessment instrument of its kind to be extensively tested for reliability and validity on large samples of dogs of many breeds.
