Patterdale terrier x for a loving forever home only.
Burtie is an ex rescue pup of 3 years old. All he wants to do all day long is be by your side or on your lap cuddled up- I have never known such an affectionate, loving and willing to please dog in my life! However due to his sadly abusive past he can be a bit skittish and nervous. With our love and patience he's come on leaps and bounds (we've had him for 2 years) but as our family is growing we believe an older person or couple or a grown-up family is what Burtie really needs to keep to the happy ever improving track he's on, preferably someone with terrier and or rescue experience, certainly dog experience. Burtie is rather unique for a patterdale in that he can be let off the lead and (in our experience) will actually come back! XD He also has an unusually low prey drive so is not suitable for rabbiting. He's fully house-trained and understands basic commands but needs continuous gentle reward based training to avoid slip ups. This is not a dog to be angrily shouted at especially by men! I'm hoping to find a loving forever home who will be happy to keep in contact, if only on social media, because this little guy is a real gem and I'd love to hear how he's doing from time to time. This is not an easy decision at all. Please feel free to ask Qs. etc. Thanks for looking:) Read More
