Joe Bowman, the Ullswater Hunts master, bred them more than 100 years ago. He saw the need for these dogs, who were capable of hunting red foxes in the enormous countryside.
Besides hunting foxes, the Patterdale Terriers were also used to cull badgers all over rural Britain.
Gradually, they moved to the United States, where they were used primarily for killing groundhogs, foxes, and raccoons successfully.
