Just off the top of my head I've had a thought, of all the terriers I've seen over almost 40 years, the ones that were the most mute, were the black cross bred ones

 

Cheers, D.

Wxm has the exact same idea of patterdales, fells and lakelands as i do. the pictures you have up of each are what i would be calling any of them if i saw them. people on here keep referring to fell terriers of old as black dogs... copper coin springs to mind straight away as a prominant sire of alot of working dogs on the fells of by-gone years and he was far from black! Red and black and tan fells were used or so documented history tells us.

yup i live less than a mile from where copper coin was bred and lived, as well as some of the best and imo most influential breeders of fell terriers.

i think a lot of all this boils down to just a name like you have said,

like most i would call a smooth black/red/choc dog a patt a rough black dog a fell and every thing else be it wire or smooth black and tan rough red dog would be a lakeland but its all a name at the end of the day.

me and my best mate have very heated discussions about this topic and i dont think their is a right answer. as long as they do their job ime shure 9 out of 10 lads would call them "dogs"
