the big chief 3,099 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Thanks gafer, I really fancy a patterdale but I cant afford to waste my money on shite and I am worried I will end up with a lemon! I know there is always that chance anyway but I want to try and stack the odds in my favour if its a patterdale you wont mate and if you have sett yor heart on one go out and get one shop around ask if both parents work Quote Link to post

jarv5116 57 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Mate if your oing do alot of bushing get a cocker or springer something like that. If you get terrier for bushing and digging it can be a drama. if you got alot of rabbits around about your area were you walk . and planning to do bushing dont leave home without a spade lol Quote Link to post

redpat1 225 Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Thanks for all the comments guys, I will take plenty of time to try and make the right choices and gain plenty of experience. I think I will try and get in to the local working terrier club and see what develops from there, That is if they will let me in as I have heard they can be really hard to get accepted in to. Thanks again Pat Quote Link to post
