About
the Patterdale Terrier
If you are looking for a family companion that can
be both quiet and laid-back as well as firey and fun, the Patterdale
Terrier is an excellent choice! Originating in the Lakes Region of
Northern England about 75 years ago, these small terriers were
originally used to hunt rodents and other ground dwelling animals as
well as in wild boar and raccoon hunting. Courageous, tenacious,
tireless and eager to please, these terriers are renowned for their
amazing earth working ability, but equally cherished for their
wonderful temperaments, loyalty and affectionate nature, making them
wonderful household companions. Considered by many to be the "elite"
of the working terriers, the Patterdale Terrier is becoming the most
sought-after breed among "terriermen". Whether you are looking for a
superb hunting terrier or a marvelous family companion, the
Patterdale Terrier is a great choice. Grooming needs are minimal - a
good brushing every few days will keep the short coat shiny and
shed-free. This breed needs daily outdoor exercise to keep him happy
and healthy. Patterdales love family life and are good with
children, but like any dog breed, should be supervised when in the
company of over-amorous toddlers.
