My last dog in his prime
A proper Patterdale Terrier I know he was because I went to Patterdale to get him from a breeder
He was a cracking dog with the kids and in the house when I washed him after a day out
He loved the rats and going for the foxes took him out with the Coniston fell hound's once and he worked the fox holes brilliantly all the terrier guys that always go with the hound's said he was a game dog but a bit to game
The reason he was to game was he wanted to fight with every thing
Makes me sometimes when guys have a black terrier and say its a Patterdale and when I ask them about it and how do you know
"oh the person I got it off said its from Patterdale stock"

Re: My last dog in his prime
It’s a nice terrier. How do you reckon it’s a proper patt? A patt has a lot of variations. Patts, black dogs and fell terriers are all the same. There is no kc for this breed, which is the best thing for it. My friends and I have keep patterdales for digging. A terriers gameness is not measured on wanting to fight with everything, trust me! You’ll know what gameness is in your terrier when to going gets tough. There is plenty of lads breeding very good stuff but it is kept in tight circles and can’t be bought with money.

Oh I forgot to say remember this
viewtopic.php?f=70&t=43957
I never ever put him in a running cage or on a treadmill.
He was about 3 there and I should of got him used to other dogs sooner as I said he wanted to fight with everything thats why he has a few marks on him.
But he got on with my buddy's dog because they played together from pups he came with me and got a black one and he was as fit as Max but because Smudge
(what a name to give to a working dog) was a long haired dog you could not see how toned he was but he was not as keen as Max but he loved the Rats.
I'm glad he never got into a Brock set as he would of come out ripped to shreds he was that keen

And as I said "He was a cracking dog with the kids and in the house when I washed him after a day out"
He was a family pet as well.
I mainly did the rats with him and how the hell could I take him home to the kids ripped to shreds.
Perhaps I'm not as hard with dogs as you and I know you may of shown the photo to your mates and thy will of said that dogs not work'd the Foxes or Brock much.
That photo was from 30 years ago
I can't have dogs any more

If I was to get another dog,a Patterdale would be well on the list but I'm also sure what our cat would think

But as I said that was from 30years ago not had a dog for over 25years because of the boss lady.
Ps 40years ago I met some brock guys and thought I'd go and have a look I didn't have max than they where animals you know what I mean and I efin told them as soon as they got the dogs out of the boxes.
Take care mucker

Re: My last dog in his prime
Guys I have to admit to a few little white
That dog was not my dog as Mark Berrisford said it is a well known dog.
But as some of you will remember I lost all my photos when my computer crashed (yes I know I was complaisant)
Max was very close looking in stature and colour the only thing different was one ear was a bit wonky and his tail was a bit shorter but you would have to look twice to make shore
As a lot of you know I cannot have a dog because of the boss lady she goes mad when I keep stopping and playing with every dog I see
So I hope I'v not upset anyone over this.
Cheers guys

No worries Grant we know you well enough not to get upset.
If you want a dog you should have one. Life is to short to chuck it away on the demands of a dictator, I should know I was married to one. Divorcing the bullying bitch was the best money Ive ever spent.
My new lady even suggests I go fishing, drops me off so I can fish my way downstream, does a bit of shopping and is there waiting for me at the end.

I'v told the story before and I know your all dying to hear it again
When I first met her I had a small mixed 57 terrier nice little dog but she would not play with it or even touch it?
Anyway I had to have her putdown because of a tumour and after 2 weeks I said that I was going to go to a dogs home and get another dog.
We where at the courting/stepping-out stage at this time and she told me that she had got bitten by a big Alsatian when she was 6 and from then on that was it with dogs
So by this time I was head over heels in love and still am, silly me thought I'd talk her round
When the first lockdown was on we went for a walk near a river and this big black dog came barking at Mrs E and she froze shouting get it way from me and the more Mrs B got wound up the more the dog barked and you could see the fear in her face
So I grabbed the dog by the scruff of the neck and a**e and chucked it in the river the owner a woman that was on the phone came over and had a
When we moved to this new home I said I'm going to get a small dog and make a kennel with a run at the back and she said
"Phresssh if you walk in the front door with a dog I will walk out the back door) end of
