In my humble OPINION i think wat was classed as the old black fell terrier and wat i class as the modern day patterdale are two very different dogs with sometimes very different styles of working. Black dogs may all have the same origins but the smooth bully type dogs you see today have definatly taken a different route somewhere along the way and have seemingly been refined into what most people call patterdale as opposed to the black fell. In my kennel i have nine black and choc patterdales and whatever bull that is in their make up is well back
