Why I got a working bred terrier ...

[colliewog]

At a little over 8 weeks, she WILL get her tuggy off the flirt pole, even if she has to fly!

And being freakin' adorable doesn't hurt ...

 

[LostAndConfused]

That is the cutest puppy ever. What is she?

o my i am going to take a wild guess cause i am not sure myself is that a patterdale terrier i have never seen one in real life or a very young one oops the first dog that came to my mind was a jagd terrier but i think i meant patterdale

I see that! Yeah, I think the Jagd may be similar - never seen one in real life either.

Gosh she's cute! I simultaneously love terriers and at the same time really realize that I'm probably not meant to own them. But i definitely appreciate them more after this past week.

 

[colliewog]

My Collies have always been very high drive, so having terriers is really not much different, except for their prey drive is one step closer to death.

 

[Laurelin]

It's not the drive it's more of the mentality I think. Mia is what I'd call higher drive and more energy than Ada by far.

 

[colliewog]

Depends on the terrier I think. Mine are high working/prey drive, but have great recalls and are very quick and eager to learn.

 

[Laurelin]

She loves to learn but very very much an independent dog. Very different for me.

Sorry for the derail! I'd love to meet a patterdale one day.

No prob!

They're still pretty rare, from what I hear they are only in 26 states in the US.

Man, I sure do love those little guys... she is cute.

 

[Aescleah]

well that is one breed i just can not see getting too popular at least for there sake i hope not. they really are working terriers and darn good ratters from what i hear. been watching them for a few years but would never own one unless i was on a farm they had a job to do and wanted a full head of grey hair lol ok right now i have a love hate relationship with terriers

Thats like mine too. They love to be doing something, and think learning is fun.

 

[HayleyMarie]

Teagan is not a working bred terrier, but man would I love to own one oneday! But terriers are just a great breed, have just the right amount of energy, drive everything else. I loves them <3

 

[Laurelin]

Oh yes she definitely loves to be doing something. She thinks everything is a big game.
