10 điều bạn cần biết về việc sở hữu một chú chó sục Patterdale

It doesn't matter to him whether this is for hunting or sporting purposes (e.g. agility). He is by no means a dog that just wants to lie in his basket or kennel day in and day out. Despite this, the Patterdale Terrier is both a fine family dog and a good hunting companion in a small, handy size but with the heart of a lion. He is alert but not a barker. He is fond of children and affectionate, also personal. However, the wayward Patterdale is not a "beginner" dog, as it needs a firm hand.

Primarily bred as a fox, rabbit, and vermin hunter - bolting and killing its quarry for the poacher - the modern Patterdale is often seen in guarding, helping to protect flocks from foxes and other predators, as well as being a versatile working dog about the farm.

These social dogs like to be around their people. They're prone to separation anxiety and may be destructive if left alone for long periods.
