Madge, Patterdale, appears to be a typical woman. She doesn't appreciate her bum is wider than her head. Dug her out of railway embankment for the fifth time yesterday. Bless her. The track workers no longer ask what I'm doing calling down rabbit holes. Another highlight of our week was her venturing inside the hollow trunk of a dead tree following a delightful scent only to come out with a stoat hanging from an ear. Am thoroughly loving life with a terrier.

Thanks for warm welcome :-)

Hello :-) I'm Steve with a Patterdale called Madge. We work on a pig farm so rats a plenty... Madge is coming up to a year old hitting her final growth spurt packing on muscle. First kill at four months old. Cage trapped rat... She flipped trap over and over before giving me chance to release it. Instinct kicked in after a little hesitation but with excited encouragement from me she killed her first rat. My first terrier so still learning :-) https://www.dropbox.com/s/jxorxl9ibqidjew/2013-10-21%2012.55.48.jpg
