In addition to obedience training, they can also be trained in hunting sports.
Like most terriers, the Patterdale is a big dog in a small package. They are outgoing, lively, and fun-spirited.
The outgoing nature of the Patterdale makes them a good match for an active person who can give them plenty of attention. They love kids and make excellent family pets because they’re able to keep up with kids of all ages.
