rayo Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) I was given this little Patterdale terrier off an elderly woman who could not cope with him . I used to see him tied up in her front garden almost every day on my way to work so one day i got talking to her and to cut a long story short ended up taking him home with me. The first few months he was a little swine , not coming back when he was let off the lead, fighting with other dogs etc etc but now he has started to settle down and likes nothing better than nosing in the brambles and chasing Rabbits he never catches !!

BSA Shaun Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 He was probably bored and under-exercised. Now he is getting the proper entertainment and being allowed to knacker himslef out he is happy as Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxwell Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 he's a hansome dog, and just looks like mischief, bet he would be great for a bit of rough shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 (edited) One of the best dogs I've ever had was a patterdale - hard as nails! He thought he was a fish as well, just couldn't keep him out of the water :unsure: Edited June 18, 2008 by Pedro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop Matt Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Pedro thats a fab picture you have there, looks alot like our brindle/black cairn terrier ! Just waiting for the water to warm a little to get ours his swiming practise as the only swimming he has done was over the winter in cold water which he loved and last summer he was a tiny puppy so out of the question :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
