The name of the breed comes from the eponymous village of Patterdale, located in the northern part of Britain.
The first “breeders” were peasants and farmers who needed a quick and dexterous assistant in the hunt.
Dogs of this breed are distinguished by a kind and cheerful disposition, a genetic predisposition to communicate with humans.
