Many people often ask me how much they should pay for a Patterdale puppy. The price of a Patterdale Terrier Puppy SHOULD be around £250-£300. What is really disgusting is the extortionate Patterdale puppy prices in Coronavirus lockdown. This month (July 2020) I have actually seen Patterdale puppies advertised for £1500-£2000. It’s totally insane!
Patterdale Puppy Prices — What you should pay for a Patterdale and Why
You should expect to pay around £250-£300 for a Patterdale terrier pup from a breeder. Patterdales are not kennel club registered and they are not pure breeds and therefore the price should not exceed around £400.
If you are getting a Patterdale as a working Patterdale terrier for your farm, you may check that it is from working stock and expect it’s tail to have been docked. This should take place up to 5 days and it should have been done by a vet and so you should ask for a veterinary certificate to prove this.
Puppies shouldn’t be remove from their mother any earlier than 10–12 weeks. They should be free of fleas and worms with healthy eyes and ears. Read more about Patterdale terrier puppies here.
