to anyone looking at this dog. my brother has a patterdale and he is the sweetest gentlest little dog you could meet. My brother reckons he is like the labrador of terriers. Although I am not in a position to adopt (my spoilt brat wont tolerate another dog for more than a few days – she doesnt know what she’s missing and wont listen to my sensible words) – i would advise anyone to adopt this little one and they are great with kids. My 19 mnt old loves my brothers dog and visa versa…. God luck to her in the future
