I will load some up when I can of my newly aquired Patterdale Terrier puppy. She is really loving and VERY naughty but extremely clever. I have taken her out and about a few times with my JRT bitch and when people ask 'what is she' they havent heard of Patterdales!! Most people ask if she is a Staf !! Are they that unusual? She is black with a white bib and little white feet that look little she has walked through a puddle of paint. I have names her Binky xxx

This is our little Patterdale...

The Patterdale terrier some times referred to as the black fell terrier was first recognized as a breed on the 1st January 1995 by the United Kennel club (see kennel clubs link for further information) , the breed has been tailored as working fell dogs for over 100 years as a working dog in the north of England and south of Scotland, but manly in the lake district areas and Yorkshire where weather conditions and land conditions are harsh. The Patterdale terrier was primarily breed as a working dog for remote regions, where horses and larger hunting dogs struggled to get to. The Patterdale's agility and ability to lay completely flat with the hind legs outward, and front legs out forward, with a small chest made it the perfect dog for retrieving rodents, rabbits and foxes from small holes in the ground. Patterdale's have a endless supply of energy, and make excellent companions. They are working terriers, but if you are looking for a terrier for home, if reared from puppy they will adapt to being a house dog very well.
