If you're interested in a "Free-to-good-home" pup,
that's showing great potential this may be of interest.
The latest news as of 1-Sep-25 is...
We have no pups available.The recent litter Sired by
Nemesis-Guido, (a Black Dog) whelped out of
Nemesis-Ruby, (a very rare Bright-Red Brindle) have all moved on to their new homes.
Here's a PDF showing photos taken on 4 Aug '26. It's pretty big download and may take a few seconds to load for you.
The availability of these pups ended the day-after Labor Day 2025.
Please read EVERY WORD of the following...
Many potential customers say they want a pup with lots of "drive" or "assertiveness." Folks, when they're available at all they're still young little puppies.
There isn't much"assertiveness" or "drive" to talk about yet. All little puppies care about is getting fed, playing and being loved-up.
Questions like that are a waste of time.
They seem to like playing with empty pop-bottles and wiffle-balls a lot.
If you want a bully that picks on the others, please say so.
(While not common, we do see that once in awhile. Keep looking around the website until you find the page for... Grizz!. an exceptional case on point)
Puppies grow up to become what their breeding indicates...
serious hunting dogs.
They often make very good pets too but that'll be mostly up to YOU.
All pups come with a 4-Gen Pedigree/Bill-of-Sale and a 6-Gen Pedigree.
Both will have our custom-made embossed seal over the breeder's signature making it impossible to forge,
(That has been an important detail now & then.)
All our pups are given appropriate shots and are wormed regularly.
Please see our Registration Policy >>>[ Click Here ]
Whenever we have pups available to the publik we only ask a price that gives us some assurance that the pup or dog will get decent treatment. That's our primary concern.
Normally $500
Attention! How the pups gets into your hands is Your Responsibility,
Not Ours.
The customer (you) make all those arrangements. (Scroll down to see more about this.)
All costs and efforts associated with getting the pup into your hands are entirely YOUR responsibility and not included in the purchase price.
IMPORTANT!! Pups normally become available at 7-weeks of age. If you've made a deal with us to get a pup your "window of opportunity" will close when it's one day older than 12 WEEKS.
No more bull-spit of waiting until it's convenient for you to get it.
If you or your dog hauler hasn't got the pup by then you won't get the pup at all.
(they're not hard to find homes for.)
Any monies paid up to that point are forfeit.
No Refunds for your failure.
Some folks tell me other breeders are charging closer to $1000 for pups.
I say, good for them!
Maybe they're better able to thin-out the annoying "riff-raff" by asking that steep price.
(the same reasoning I mention below.)
Remember, a particular color or look is-not what makes a Patterdale Terrier.
Be sure to examine our >> Colors & Markings << page to get your mind right about looks and colors.
Be sure to understand that you can never tell what size a puppy will grow to.

Pinga's page. <<< a monster as Patterdales go but he sired Bosco, a normal size dog. Pinga's parents also produced Pixie, one of the smallest Patterdales we've ever seen. Pictures of these dogs can be seen elsewhere on this website.
Our family of Patterdales seem to be getting steadily smaller but the finished size of a Patterdale Terrier is always a wait-and-see proposition.
We don't breed them for size. We don't breed them for the pet market. We don't breed for the show ring.
We breed our dogs for hunting/work.
Whatever they get a-hold of is usually doomed and that is what we breed 'em for.
Folks, $500 is just barely enough to keep the "riff-raff" from bothering us. People generally take better care of dogs when they've paid a decent price for them.
Cheap dogs seem to get cheap care, a sad end for these special little dogs.
Remember: All costs and efforts associated with getting the pup into your hands are entirely YOUR responsibility and additional to the purchase price.
We don't get involved in air-shipping dogs.
Airlines, (ALL Of Them,) treat your dog like common luggage and that's why I won't do air shipment any more.
If YOU are-not able to come and get the pup we grudgingly recommend a dog hauler.
Every few months we get inquiries from folks in other countries.
Sorry folks, that requires air shipment and we don't do that.
Also, if you've just gotta have a Patterdale Terrier, be sure you have a place for it.
Having a place for it should-not mean a length of chain and a doghouse.
(If putting an 8-week puppy on a chain is your plan you'll do well to keep that a secret from us.)
If it's not gonna be a "house-dog" you'll need a safe place to keep it.
If you have doubts, take a look at the Alcatraz Kennels page for some good ideas.

There are a number of Dog Haulers to choose from. To find one just type in the words Dog Transport Service for an internet search.
Dog hauling requires a lot from the driver because puppies are more work and worry than grown dogs.
Most of these guys take much better care of the dogs [generally] than any airline.
Airlines, (ALL Of Them,) treat your dog like common luggage. That's why I don't get involved with them any more.
I have a local friend that can SOMETIMES be talked into a delivering a pup right to your town or driveway. He's a professional driver and currently charges a flat Two-Dollars a mile (reckoned one-way by Map Quest) from the address above to your address or zip code. It's one of the best deals available these days for getting someone to bring the pup (from me) to You without anything else on his schedule.
A road trip calculation from your address or zip code to the address shown on the contact page will yield the delivery cost within a few dollars.
All that's needed is a little prior planning is needed because...
He has a life too, so he can't always come right when YOU want him to. There may need to be a couple days of fudge-factor involved on the exact days of travel/delivery.
If you want him to bring a pup straight from me to you, tell me and I'll put you in contact with him. If you look up the mileage from the zip code shown on the previous page to your own zip code you'll have a good idea what he'll cost.

Please Do-Not email us asking if we have pups available.
It'll just annoy us.
The answer to that question is always shown at the top of this page and it's kept current.
