The Patterdale Terrier Book

The Patterdale Terrier is an increasingly popular breed both as a pet and a working terrier. These fabulous little dogs have a passionate following here in America and the United Kingdom and, until now, little has been known about their origins. Sean Frain has carefully traced the history of the breed and the area from which they originated. He describes, often firsthand, their working ability and includes interesting anecdotal stories. The book covers owning a Patterdale as a pet, training from puppy to adulthood, and has a useful chapter on breeding. This is an invaluable handbook for owners and potential owners of Patterdale Terriers by a much-respected author with extensive experience in the field and is the only book published on this increasingly popular breed.
