10 Essential Things to Know Before Getting a Patterdale Terrier

#4 Are Patterdales rare?

Patterdale terriers are a rare breed, especially since it is relatively new compared to other terriers. For example, the Jack Russell Terrier breed is well over 200 years old. Also, breeders are not as abundant in the United States as they are overseas.

#5 The Patterdale Terrier’s ears can become a problem.

Therefore, as the owner, you should teach him the ritual of caring for his ears in good time. The eyes should also be checked regularly. Any vet can show you how to do this. But these are already all health construction sites that you have to consider. The constitution is very robust.

#6 Why do Patterdale Terriers shake?

Shaking provides a means of coping with something that is hurting. Many dogs, particularly Terriers, exhibit extremely high pain tolerances, and as such, give their owners very little evidence that they are uncomfortable or in physical distress. A dog who is shaking may very well be in pain, even a lot of pain.
