Origin and history
The breed originated around 1800 in the north of England in a place called Patterdale in Cumberland . Alternatively, it is also known as a fur terrier or black terrier. It has retained its peculiarity as a hunting dog because it was never bred for beauty but for efficiency. Approx. In 1978 the first Patterdale Terriers were imported to America, where they are now very popular. Aside from America, the breed is little known outside of the British Isles.
