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 the United Kingdom and America and, until now, there has been little known about their origins. Sean Frain has carefully traced the history of the breed and the area from which they originated. He describes, often from first hand, their working ability and includes some interesting anecdotal stories. The book covers owning a Patterdale as a pet, training from puppy to adulthood and has a useful chapter on breeding.
