ninakins 2 Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hello all, I have recently bought a Fell Terrier bitch pup to work with a Lurcher and a Deerhound on our farm. She is a great little pup and is as keen as mustard but I wondered if anyone has ever come across a blonde Patterdale / Fell Terrier before? She is the colour of a pale golden retriever with a hard broken coat. I know the breeder and the dam and sire, both of which are working Hunt terriers so I have no doubt about her breeding and all the other pups in the litter were either black red or black and tan. Would appreciate your thoughts please? Quote Link to post
marshman 7,756 Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Nope I've never seen a blonde fell before although I have seen a few cross bred terriers that were Fawn . 1 Quote Link to post

neil cooney 10,415 Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Wheaten used to be a bit more common in Fell terriers than nowadays but it's not unusual. Quote Link to post

ninakins 2 Posted July 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Isn't that a wheaten sort of colour, which many fells etc sometimes throw? Yes I guess you could say that she is the colour of a soft coated wheaten terrier. Quote Link to post

ninakins 2 Posted July 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Thank you for all of your comments, I will try to put a photo up on here for you. The lad that bred her said that his dogs pedigrees go back to some really early earth dogs so I will find out and let you know. 1 Quote Link to post
