Cole, Patterdale, 1-2 years old
Cole, Patterdale, 1-2 years old
His Story: Cole is an Irish man who coped well in the lifestyle of mixing with dogs and being fairly free range. He is however too keen to chase cats and also had started to enjoy the thrill of chasing sheep. He needs a responsible terrier owner who retains him on an extender to keep him out of harms way.
Salient points: Cole is a 'medium' sized terrier about 17" to the withers. His coat is glossy curls with a white chest to be proud of and his age is around 2 years. His tail was docked very short. He is in good health. He will chase and has no road sense so needs to be retained on an extender on open reaches and short lead around roads as would be shot by a farmer if livestock incident was involved. Social and easy to walk on a lead. Secure garden and exit management a must.
Advert: King Cole is bright young soul with bright Irish eyes and a touch of the blarney (Irish Patter)! A beautiful Patterdale, but his terrier instincts are 'exact'. In every other way Cole is an easy terrier. He has good manners, would easily live with another dog and would like to play. He has good people skills, is affectionate and could live around children. Patterdales have their followers and Cole shines out as a particularly 'fine type'. All he needs is a responsible owner who won't place him near cats, small furries and will manage him outside for his own safety with garden boundaries terrier proof and exit management in place.
Cole travelled over from Ireland early February, having been in rescue since October. He has a lovely energy and has done remarkably well considering the changes he has endured. He is good on the lead and he can be picked up and examined without any concerns. A truly lovely temperament. A truly lovely terrier.
"Please note that this dog is currently in kennels and is also available for foster until a 'forever' home is found".
