COMING SOON! PTCA's Versatility Program COMING SOON!

committed to keeping the breed active

Welcome to the PTCA's Versatility Program—a dynamic initiative dedicated to celebrating and preserving of the Patterdale Terrier. Originally bred as the world’s elite earth terrier, this remarkable breed was crafted for a specific purpose: to excel at traditional earth work. To this day the PTCA hold individuals that do the breeds traditional job in the spotlight as the finest examples of the breed. However, we understand that in some regions, opportunities for earth work are limited or impractical, and that a growing community of enthusiasts has embraced competitive sports with passion. The Versatility Program is our commitment to honor those individuals who continue the breed’s proud working traditions, while also recognizing the sporting and companion roles that many Patterdale Terriers proudly fulfill. By meticulously recording each dog’s accomplishments, the PTCA database distinguishes between working, sporting, and pet roles—encouraging all Patterdale Terrier owners to get their dogs off the couch and lead an active, engaged lifestyle that pays tribute to their innate drive and versatility.
