They are a small working dog that has been bred for their work ability rather than their appearance. Their breed is not recognized by the UK Kennel Club, but it is recognized by the National, Continental, and some American registries.
A Patterdale Terrier for sale can be a wide range of colors due to the fact that they were not bred for any one appearance. The most common are black, black and tan, red, and chocolate. There is an occurrence of blue and blue and tan, but only rarely. Their coats are coarse and can be anywhere from short to long in length with the shorter coats tending to be smoother. The Patterdale usually stands around 11 inches tall and weighs around 12 pounds. Some can be small enough to be considered “lap dogs” but they are working dogs at heart and should be viewed that way as well.

You may notice that when you find a Patterdale Terrier puppy for sale, it is very bold and tends to be overconfident and tries to take on more than it can handle.They are very intelligent and have a lot of courage and spunk.

They are very friendly dogs that make for a good family pet, though the Patterdale Terrier Club of America does not recommend any type of Terrier for families that have children under the age of seven. When buying a Patterdale Terrier for sale, you are getting a dog that has a relatively long lifespan of around 15 years.
