Tribesman

thanks for the reply mate. My problem really is that I'm returning to hunting after a lot of years, so i don't know anyone who does it now, and i wouldn't know where to start looking for the hunt... or where to find a nutall. i see lots of ads on the web for patterdales, but i don't want to fall at the 1st hurdle and get the wrong dog. I've kept, bred and trained working bulldogs (alapaha blue bloods) for years, so training a terrier i think i could turn my hand to... but apart from my dads patterdales from when i was a nipper, i have no experience with working terriers. any suggestions where

who is breeding the best patterdales in the north these days? i used to have the odd ratting day with my dad, he had some brilliant smooth coat patterdales, we done the odd dig too. haven't tried it since i was a nipper tho, and was thinking i would like to take it back up.
