Have had out patterdale since she was 6 weeks old and she is now 8 years old. Destroyed most things as puppy, very protective of toys. Great with children and adults. Hates other dogs. (we have another 2 so that can be difficult sometimes) Noisy, wilful and thinks shes in charge. No recall skills whatsoever. Went to dog training lessons and loved it, did everything, but was clever enough to know that at classes it was one thing, back home it was another.
Shes very very intelligent. Knows everyword you say and is very clean but i will never have another terrier as long as i live!
Before anyone tells me its the owners and not the dogs... you have to meet this dog to truely understand. We have two others (including her whippet cross daughter) and we dont have anywhere near the same issues that we have ALWAYS had with her.
