dodeer Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 Got a chance of buying 2 patterdales which are house trained and 15 months old. One is a dog the other a bitch, can anyone advise me which one might be better as will only get one. The dog is long in the leg and wont go to ground but is the "dogs boll*cks" on rats, rabbits and squirrels. Has anyone any info on this breed of dogs and any advise? thanks.

Yorkshire Pudding Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 Sam Whats the bitch like ? Does she go to ground ? Are you just after a dog that does rats rabbits and tree rat ? Or do you want it to go to ground ? Pats can be a "bit" keen with other dogs . Great little hunters though . all the best yis yp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quercus Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 Won't go to ground because of his size? Or is he afraid of the dark Cracking little dogs, if you can find a good one. If all you are after is a dog for rats and rabbits then why not get a whippet lurcher? Don't know the circumstances, but if they are any good why are they for sale?

avvit Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 why does he not go to ground?Has he been prematurely entered,or is it his size.Long legs dont stop a dog going to ground they tuck em up and crawl in on their belly.Get the dog that suits you , if you need a dog to work foxes get a terrier .If you want to hunt game on top get a lurcher.Avvit.
