- Invaluable handbook for owners and potential owners of Patterdale Terriers - Much-respected author with extensive experience in the field - The only book published on this increasingly popular breed The Patterdale Terrier is an increasingly popular breed both as a pet and a working terrier. These fabulous little dogs have a passionate following here in America and the United Kingdom and, until now, little has been known about their origins. Seán Frain has carefully traced the history of the breed and the area from which they originated. He describes, often firsthand, their working ability and includes interesting anecdotal stories. The book covers owning a Patterdale as a pet, training from puppy to adulthood, and has a useful chapter on breeding.

Written as a companion guide to 'The Patterdale Terrier' (first published 2004), The Patterdale Terrier Companion is also an interesting and informative stand-alone read which is based on over thirty years of careful research and practical experience. Patterdale terriers have become increasingly popular as working dogs, show dogs and family pets during the past few years and they remain one of the few breeds which, thanks to several modern-day breeders and those who knew the original breeders, has a history that is both traceable and quite recent. The history of the Patterdale terrier, including famous stud dogs and brood bitches of various strains, is comprehensively recorded throughout the pages of this fascinating book, but this must be considered as far more than just a dog-breed book, as the breeders themselves, indeed, the creators of the breed, Cyril Breay and Frank Buck in particular, are discussed in detail, making this essential reading for all who are interested in this type of terrier and in understanding the temperament and characteristics of today's Patterdale terriers. Much mystery has surrounded the development of the breed, which careful research has at last uncovered, particularly where Cyril Breay is concerned, who was a mysterious and secretive man. Choosing and naming a puppy, basic training, socializing, feeding, housing, breeding, exhibiting and working Patterdale terriers are all subjects which are well covered and there is also included a comprehensive list of names well suited to Patterdale terriers, which many readers will find most useful. A practical companion guide, this book is also a complete guide for all who enjoy the company of Patterdale terriers. AUTHOR: Sean Frain has been keeping, working and breeding terriers for the past thirty-five years or so and has become known for his terrier books and articles appearing in publications such as The Countryman's Weekly. He has also written for, among others, Dalesman and Cumbria Magazine. He is the author of over twenty books and is currently living close to the Cumbrian border where Patterdale terriers have been bred and worked for decades. He has also carefully researched the bloodlines of working breeds of terrier and those who have bred them, over the past thirty and more years. His previous books include: 'The Patterdale Terrier The Traditional Working Terrier' and 'Working Terriers'. b/w photographs
