The Patterjack is a cross between the Patterdale Terrier and Jack Russell Terrier, combining two fearless hunting terriers. Small, energetic, and bold, they inherit intense prey drive and athletic ability from both parents. They're affectionate but need outlets for their energy.
Vigorous daily exercise is essential—long walks, agility, and games keep them balanced. Their short coats are easy to maintain. Patterjacks need experienced owners who can provide structure and activity. For active households seeking a small, fearless companion, the Patterjack delivers intensity and loyalty.
