The coolest cleanest water comes from the head of the stream. Our lines are not watered down with Pitt and staffs. Think about that when looking for SMALL working terriers.

Mason's Patterdale/Fell Terriers Phone# 931-389-9565 NO TEXT MESSAGES..Land line only... AGAIN NO TEXT MESSAGES.... and I dont Listen to MY ANSWERING MACHINE too many tire kickers..haha

 

PLEASE DONT CONTACT ME ASKING ABOUT THE BLOODLINES, ETC ON DOGS(PUPS) YOU HAVE GOTTEN FROM OTHER PEOPLE.  LOTS OF PEOPLE TELL OTHERS THEY GOT A DOG FROM ME..I DONT KNOW MOST OF THE TIME EXACTLY WHAT DOG AND ETC.
 IF YOU HAVE BOUGHT FROM SOMEONE ELSE>>>ASK THEM. I dont want to get in the mix.

Never pay(or pickup) a pup from any breeder unless you get the Paperwork on Both Reg Parents that day.Ive heard too many stories about someone who bought a pup and never got the pedigrees(they said they would mail) on the parents in order to register the pups.

All I ask of anyone is just to do what we agree upon..thats what I'm going to do...IF you dont plan on carrying out your part of the bargain do not contact me.    PLEASE!   Life is too short for foolishness.

Ive tried for all these yrs to be straight up and honest with people..Seems folks dont understand ..so Ive cut back a little due to my age and do not plan to breed as many as I once did..DOGS are NO problem but people are becoming more and more of a problem...LOTS of talk but NO action.Im tired of wasting my time. DO NOT CONTACT ME IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT STAFFS OR PITTBULLDOGS..I dont have em.Plenty of breeders on the Patterdale websites that have em. And are crossing them into their Patterdales. SO beware 

 READ THIS BEFORE CONTACTING ME http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patterdale_Terrier make SURE you are buying from someone who is interested in PROMOTING/UPGRADING  the breed.

Thank you for coming by the websight. I plan on adding good pictures and stories in the near future so please check back.
I started hunting with the Jack Russell Terriers in the 1980's. Then, I was introduced to Patterdale/Fell Terriers by Dr. John Lowery. I bought Tarmac, Tiny, and Trixie (Nuttall bred dogs). I started getting more involved in the dogs and I bought Arnie and Crackers from Patrick O'Shea. Patrick had brought them over to work at the Irquois Hunt in Lexington, Kentucky. They were bred from the famous Cotswold Hunt in England. Patrick left again for England, this time leaving me five or six dogs I had bought from him. I was blessed to own these dogs. They have been the most exciting line of dogs I have had the pleasure of working with..Arnie died Jan-1-08...However I have line bred these dogs so close Arnie will live on for many generations.There is still lots of Nuttall Blood in most of my dogs.I had the upmost respect for Brian Nuttall, I admired his knowledge but MOST of all his integrity. I had the pleasure of having Brian visit my place years ago. I also went out to dinner with him once and got to ask him lots of questions. Will always treasure that memory.

Mason Patterdales..Quality plus. When you buy a terrier from us you are buying from the best line of proven GROUND working terriers in the U.S. Going on thirty years experience in breeding SMALL ground working terriers. I dont know how long a person has to breed to establish a line but I think I might be getting close. I believe I have worked with one line of terriers longer than anyone in the U.S. I have been tempted to try every new terrier of the month that has come along...seen some mighty big ones get a lot of attention..but have found these trends dont last and have stuck with my original plan...BREED SMALL .So far the digging folks that own em(folks that hunt to ground) are happy and I know I am.Not planning any changes.PLEASE DONT CONTACT ME AND ASK ABOUT ANYONE ELSES TERRIERS>>I know very little about what other folks are doing and do not keep up .Its best I dont offer an opinion I MIGHT be wrong ...ALSO PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR WIFE AND OK IT WITH YOUR BANKER BEFORE CONTACTING ME.... THIS WILL SAVE BOTH US LOTS OF TIME IN THE END. Not meaning to be rude but years of breeding dogs have made these kinds of statements necessary.

 

Thank you for considering a puppy from Mason Patterdale/Fell terriers.My goal is to produce the best small ground working terriers available. I have been breeding terriers for around thirty years and most Patterdale/Fell types in the U.S. carry some Mason blood.I am cutting back and will not produce as many as I have in the past..getting older and need to slow down a bit more.I ALWAYS keep a waiting list ..IF you cant wait dont send $$$.
 
 Puppies are typically available for release to their new homes around 8 weeks of age.Each puppy will be current on shots and worming.I furnish necessary paperwork for registration with P.T.C.A. and advise you to register your puppy within a few days of purchase.You may reserve a puppy by placing a deposit which will be included in the total price of the puppy.The deposit is a "good faith" action demonstrating your sincere desire to purchase a puppy from the agreed upon litter.The deposit will NOT be returned unless I am unable to produce you the puppy.The placement of puppies will be based in the order I recieved deposits.I will do my best to match the puppies with the desires of the new owners. It is important for me to get as much imput from you as possable concerning this very important decision. I will specifically direct you away from making a selection based on emotion or whim.In addition I reserve the right to refuse placement of any puppy at my own discretion and would return your deposit should that happen.
ALL puppies MUST be picked up at our kennel by THE BUYER..

ABOVE PICTURE ON LEFT is Masons' Henry at 9 weeks ..he now belongs to the Smiths in Church Hill Tn .He is another example of top quality SMALL WORKING terriers we are breeding.He is a product over thirty years of my SELECTIVE breeding Patterdale/fell types.... I'm finally getting consistant looks into my dogs after all these yrs of trying to set a type.I feel the best is yet to come.I dont use PITT BLOOD HERE...I breed GROUND WORKING TERRIERS. If you are looking for a BIG terrier  I probably AINT yo man.

 


” But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.”

"For God loved the world so much that He gave His only son; so that anyone who believes(TRUST) in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” – John 3:16>>> IF YOU MEET ME, AND FORGET ME YOU HAVE LOST NOTHING...BUT, IF YOU MEET JESUS CHRIST AND FORGET HIM YOU HAVE LOST EVERYTHING!!!!!


  All my breeding stock are registered with PTCA. All Patterdale/Fell terrier owners should join the P.T.C.A. I am a Lifetime Honorary Member, and feel it is VERY important for us to have one central place to register our dogs.I register my dogs with no other registry. If you are interested in joining or for more information go to my links page and click on the PTCA link.

All I ask of anyone is just to do what we agree upon..thats what I'm going to do...IF you dont plan on carrying out your part of the bargain do not contact me.    PLEASE!   Life is too short for foolishness.

 PLEASE dont tell me about your Pitts or your past Pitt experience..I am not into that and dont care about talking about it. I raise ground working terriers..thats ALL I'm interested in.The dogs I raise arent little Pitts.DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR FIGHTING DOG>>>PLEASE

REMEMBER THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE>>>>BUT THE NEXT BEST THINGS ARE USUALLY VERY EXPENSIVE

HUNT IN THE GROUND NOT ON A COMPUTER. Most folks that offer opinions of other folks dogs on a computer arent doing anything but trying to promote themselves and/or dogs they are selling. When was the last time you saw me advertising dogs for sale on message boards,Facebook or blogs?

SMALL DOGS CAN GO ANYWHERE BIG DOGS ONLY WANT TOO..be SURE to ASK about chest size when you are talking to folks about Patterdale/fell types...LOTS of them have SO MUCH Pitt OR Staff blood now they could not go to ground if they wanted to.CHANCES ARE if they look like Pitts OR Staffs thats what they MIGHT be. If this TREND continues the Patterdale/fell type terrier as it was intended will be gone. I dont want to see this happen and PROMISE to resist the TREND to put STAFF & Pitt blood into my terriers.
