Patterdale Terrier
The Patterdale Terrier emerged in Northern England, having descended from the black, smooth-coated Fell Terrier. The Fell Terrier was used to govern vermin that preyed on sheep and had been bred to bolt the quarry out of its cave. These tough-as-nails hunting traits had been passed down to the Patterdale Terrier. Today, now no longer best does the Patterdale Terrier continue to excel at hunting and racing and agility. In 1995 The United Kennel Club identified the Patterdale Terrier.

Temperement
Eager to thrill with a hardworking attitude, the Patterdale Terrier is determined, energetic, and brave with an excessive prey drive. Affectionate and gentle, he fares well with humans, farm animals, and different puppies because of his relatively laidback nature. The Patterdale Terrier is clever and sensitive and, with lots of training with high-quality reinforcement, is a well-behaved companion.
Upkeep
As a real working terrier, the Patterdale Terrier needs lots of workout and playtime in a securely fenced yard. His coarse, dense, weatherproof double coat can be smooth, broken, or rough, and have to be brushed weekly and bathed once in a couple of months.
