I have had my Patterdale since 1999. Penny is from the Nuttall bloodline which means she is small (12-15lbs). Black with smooth coat. She has been a great dog, even at 14 years old, when she hears me open the drawer and get my truck keys she is ready to roll. Her personal record for squirrels is 7 caught in attics in one day. She just smoked a rat recently. She has been great on rat jobs locating entry points or where the rat is hiding behind the wall. She is a great help locating and removing young raccoons out of really lousy places. If you want a dedicated helper and marketing machine get yourself a well trained P-dale. I just saw a customer that I had in 1999 the other day, have not seen her in 10 years. She did not know my name but recognized me and asked if “Penny” was still alive and working. Penny caught a chipmonk in her kitchen, she’s never forgotten my dog. I’ve lost track of how many times the phone rings and the caller asks for Penny and that guy who drives her around to come to their house. It has been a great partnership that continues to this day. My 25 cents on the topic of P-dales.
