Patterdale As A Pet


Recommended Posts

I put up with it too Foxdropper, not that I have that many.

Daniel say's he wont tolerate it and fair play and he finds a good home for them. Personally I'll tolerate a fighter if they'll do the job in the field but they have to be good.

Inbreeding can often result in a highly strung terrier and an outcross should calm things down a bit.

But, because I like all my dogs to have a happy life when not working the argumentative ones tend to have a more boring life because they can only be exercised on their own, I let my daughter do that, LOL.

I'd never tell a man what breed to own whether it's a pet or worker, at the end of the day you'll be the one feeding and caring for it. That said though I'd certainly recommend a less full on terrier breed but if your heart is set on a patt and you know what you could be letting yourself in for I say crack on :thumbs:

 

Just do us all a favour and get it PTS if it ends up being too much for you, don't pass your problem on to someone else.
